Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause
loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure

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.
■Stowing the jack
When stowing the jack in the jack holder, make sure that the part that the
jack handle attaches to is pointing towards the inside of the trunk. Failure to
do so may damage the vehicle body.
■When replacing the tires
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.
■To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
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 pressure warning valve and transmitter when

FT86_EETurn the compressor switch “ON”
and fill the tire with air until the
specified inflation pressure is
reached.
Turn the switch “OFF” when the pressure gauge connected to
the hose reads the specified pressure.
If the inflation pressure is not attained within 10 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 and pull the power plug of the com-
pressor out of the power outlet on the vehicle.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly in the tire, immediately
drive for about 10 minutes.
After driving about 10 minutes,

FT86_EERead the inflation pressure on
the pressure gauge.
If the pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 19 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, 19 psi),
the emergency repair that have
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.

tion and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50

■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
pressure warning light may come on/flash.
■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 -40°C (-40°F)
or more.
●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.

CAUTION
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●If force is used to turn the valve core tool while air remains in the tire, spe-
cial care should be taken because the valve core could fly out.
●Be careful, as sealant may fly out if you shake the bottle with the hose
installed.
●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 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.
