Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The sealant has limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle.
The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer, tire dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for replacement.
● The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant in the bottle and
other parts of the kit have been used and need to be replaced, contact
any authorized Toyota dealer, tire deal er or repairer, or another duly qual-
ified and equipped professional.
● The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30
°C
(-22
°F) to 60°C (140°F).
● The kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than
the original ones, or for any other purposes.
● If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
● If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the
stain may not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe
away the sealant with a wet cloth.
● During operation of the kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does
not indicate a malfunction.

■ If the tire is inflated to more than the recommended level
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap
from the hose and then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then
turn it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recom-
mended level. (
→P. 521)
If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the
compressor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until
the recommended pressure is reached.
CAUTION
■ Precautions for use of the sealant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possible, then immediately consult a doctor.
● If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
STEP1
Install the air release cap to the end of the
hose and push the protrusion on the air

CAUTION
■
When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
● Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
● If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur or
sealant may be sprayed out.
● If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that
the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
● After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the
hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
● Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop
the repair operation immediately.
● The kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not operate
the compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes.
● Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit
during and after operation.
● Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the
one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is
located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air
bag from operating properly.

CAUTION
■ Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
● If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 19 psi) or below, this may indicate severe tire damage.
NOTICE
■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
■ When performing an emergency repair
●Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is
removed, repair by the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be pos-
sible.
● The kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the rain.
● Do not put the kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may occur.
● Use the kit with the top facing upward. The kit cannot work properly if it is
laid on its side.
