Auris Touring Sports_EE (OM12G98E)
Before repairing the tire
Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (Multidrive) or N (manual transmission).
Stop the engine.
Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 480)
If you have a flat tire (vehicles with an
emergency tire puncture repair kit)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is equipped
with an emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread can
be repaired temporarily using the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
(The kit contains a bottle of sealant. The sealant can be used only once
to temporarily repair one tire without removing the nail or screw from
the tire.) Depending on the damage, this kit cannot be used to repair the
tire. (P. 544)
After temporarily repairing the tire with the kit, have the tire repaired or
replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional. Repairs conducted using the
emergency tire puncture repair kit are only a temporary measure. Have
the tire repaired and replaced as soon as possible.

When trouble arises
CAUTION
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.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
Caution while driving
The repair kit is exclusively only for your vehicle.
Do not use repair kit on other vehicles, which could lead to an accident
causing death or serious injury.
Do not use repair kit for tires that are different size than the original ones,
or for any other purpose. If the tires have not been completely repaired, it
could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
Precautions for use of the sealant
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doc-
tor.
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
When fixing the flat tire
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after
the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts may result in burns.
To avoid risk of burst or severe leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle.
Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with shock,
crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case, immediately
replace.
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
as 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.
