When trouble arises
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
● Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
(→ P. 560)
■ When the compact spare tire is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-
pared to when driving with standard tires.
■ When using the spare tire (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire
pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the spare tire after the tire pres-
sure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
■ If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Per-
form the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.

■
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 wi th a tire pressure warning system)
When removing or fitting the wheels, tire s 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.
■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible.
Make sure to replace the tire pres sure warning valve and transmitter when

Start the hybrid system.
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 infla-
tion pressure about 1 minute
(5 minutes at low tempera-
ture) after the switch is
turned on.
Inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure.
• If the tire inflation pressure isstill 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 pressure, let out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( →P. 529, 560)

Temporarily store the bottle and compressor in the luggage com-
partment.
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 sur-
face and connect the compres-
sor.
Check the tire inflation pres-
sure.If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
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.
560): Proceed to .
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 miles) and then
perform .
Store the compressor in the luggage compartment.
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50 mph) to the
nearest authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional for tire repair or replacement.

When trouble arises
■In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
●When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
● When there are any cracks or damage at any location on the tire, such as on
the side wall, except the tread
● When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
● When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
● When the wheel is damaged
● When two or more tires have been punctured
● When 2 or more sharp objects such as nails or screws have passed through
the tread on a single tire
● When the sealant has expired
■ If the tire is inflated to mo re than the specified air pressure
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.
■ After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
● Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pres-
sure warning light may come on/flash. Press the button to let some air out.
