When trouble arises
If you have a flat tire
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift position to P.
● Stop the fuel cell system.
● Turn on the emergency flashers. ( P. 360)
Your vehicle is not equipped wi th 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 c ontains 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.)
After temporarily repairing the tire with the repair kit, have the
tire repaired or replaced by your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving, even a short distance, with a flat tire can damage the tire, the
wheel, and other parts beyond repair, which could result in an accident.

Remove the luggage mat.
Remove the jack handle.
Take out the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture
repair kit if the damage is caused
by a nail or screw passing through
the tire tread. • Do not remove the nail or screw from the tire. Removing the
object may widen the opening
and disenable emergency
repair with the repair kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move th e vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positi oned at the top of the tire.

Inflate the tire until the specifiedair pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
44 psi (300 kPa, 3.1 kgf/cm
2
or bar) or 58 psi (400 kPa,
4.1 kgf/cm2 or bar), and then
gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 minute
(15 minutes at low tempera-
ture) after the switch is
turned on.
Inject to specified air pres-
sure.
• Turn the compressor switch off and then check the tire
inflation pressure. Being
careful not to over inflate,
check and repeat the infla-
tion procedure until the
specified tire inflation pres-
sure is reached.
• If the tire inflation pr essure 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
compressor switch off and contact your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure, let out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P. 421)
