Connect the bottle to the com-
pressor.
As shown in the illustration, insert
the bottle vertically into the com-
pressor to connect making sure
that the claw on the bottle's neck
is hooked onto the cutout of the
compressor case.
Check the specified tire inflation
pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is speci-
fied on the label in the glove box.
(P. 535)
Start the vehicle’s engine.
To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.

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.
• Turn the compressor switch off
and then check the tire inflation
pressure. Being careful not to
over inflate, check and repeat
the inflation procedure until the
specified tire inflation pressure
is reached.
• 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.

485 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
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.
Attach the air release cap to the
end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not
attached, the sealant may leak
and the vehicle may get dirty.
Temporarily store the bottle in the luggage compartment while
it is connected to the compressor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately
drive safely for about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving for about 5 km (3
miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and remove the air release cap
from the hose before reconnect-
ing the repair kit.

Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for an approximately 5
seconds, and then turn it off.
Check the tire inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or
bar, 19 psi): The puncture can-
not be repaired. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped profes-
sional.
If the tire inflation pressure is
130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
19 psi) or higher, but less than
the specified air pressure:
Proceed to .
If the tire inflation pressure is
the specified air pressure
(P. 535): Proceed to .
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the spec-
ified air pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 miles)
and then perform .
Attach the air release cap to the
end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not
attached, the sealant may leak

When trouble arises
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50
mph) to the nearest authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional for tire repair
or replacement.
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 com-
pressor 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 whose expiry
date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.

Emergency tire puncture repair kit
The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used
and needs to be replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The compressor is reusable.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C
(-22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
The repair 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.
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The bottle of sealant should be replaced with a new bottle before the
expiry date. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for replacement.
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 repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
