551 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
CAUTION
When the spare tire is installed
The vehicle speed may not be correctly detected, and the following systems
may not operate correctly:
ABS & brake assist
VSC+
TRC
Cruise control (if equipped)
Navigation system (if equipped)
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.
Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire
installed on the vehicle
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-
pared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over
uneven road surfaces.
Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving per-
formance.
When replacing the tires (vehicles with the tire pressure warning sys-
tem)
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional as the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

556 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Before performing emergency repair
Check the degree of the tire
damage.
• Do not remove the nail or
screw from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and prevent emer-
gency repair with the repair kit.
• Type A: To avoid sealant leak-
age, move the vehicle until the
area of the puncture, if known,
is positioned at the top of the
tire.
Type B

Power plug
Compressor switch
Air pressure gauge
HoseNozzle
Stickers
Pressure release

562 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Turn the switch off when the pressure gauge connected to the
hose reads the specified pressure.
If the inflation pressure is not attained within 5 minutes, emergency
repair is not possible due to severe damage. Contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
After completely filling the tire with air, disconnect the hose
from the valve on the tire.
Pull the power plug of the compressor out of the power outlet
on the vehicle.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly in the tire, immediately
drive for about 5 km (3 miles) or 10 minutes.
After driving about 5 km (3 miles)
or 10 minutes, pull your vehicle
over in a safe place and recon-
nect the compressor.
Read the inflation pressure on
the pressure gauge.

563 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
If the pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm2 or bar, 18 psi) or above,
fill the tire with air using the com-
pressor until the specified infla-
tion pressure is reached.
If the pressure is less than 130
kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 18 psi),
the emergency repair that has
been performed is not safe for
use as damage to the tire is too
severe. Do not continue to drive
the vehicle. Contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Attach the 2 stickers as shown.
Remove any dirt and moisture
from the wheel before attaching
the label. If it is impossible to
attach the label, make sure to tell
any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or other duly qualified
and equipped professional when
you have them repair and replace
the tire that sealant is injected.

568 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will surge
and then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 minute (5
minutes at low temperature)
after the switch is turned on.
Inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure.
• If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the specified
point after inflation for 35 min-
utes with the switch on, the tire
is too damaged to be repaired.
Turn the compressor switch off
and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the specified air pres-
sure, let out some air to adjust
the tire inflation pressure.
(P. 571, 621)
Turn the compressor off, then
press the button to release pres-
sure from the bottle.
