•If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the specified
point after inflation for 10
minutes (40 minutes at low
temperature) with the switch
on, the tire is too damaged to
be repaired. Turn the com-
pressor switch off and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
•If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the specified air
pressure, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure. (oP. 5 9 0 , 6 2 7 )
With the compressor switch off, disconnect the hose from the
valve on the tire and then pull out the power plug from the
power outlet socket.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired
tire.

Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
and then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/
cm2 or bar): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
your Toyota dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure is
19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar) or higher, but less than
the specified air pressure:
Proceed to .
If the tire inflation pressure is
the specified air pressure:

■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
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,
and then turn it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows
the specified air pressure.
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the
compressor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure
until the specified air pressure is reached.
■The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, the
valve should be replaced.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle.
Do not use sealant that has passed its expiry date. You may be unable to
complete the repair using the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
STEP 1
Install the air release cap to the end of
the hose and push the protrusion on
the air release cap into the tire valve to
let some air out.

CAUTION
■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.
●Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehi-
cle. 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.
●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.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not
followed, the sealant may spray out.
●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 repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not
operate the repair kit continuously for more than 60 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling
the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part
connecting the bottle and the compressor. It will be extremely hot.
●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 airbag from operating properly.

CAUTION
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning 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 the tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130
kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit if the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw
passing through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and disenable emergency repair with the repair kit.
●The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the
side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction
may occur.
