When trouble arises
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
(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 inflation procedure
until the specified tire infla-
tion pressure is reached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point
after inflation for 35 minutes 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.

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 sur-
face and remove the air release
cap from the hose before
reconnecting the repair kit.
