If you have a flat tire (vehicles with emergency tire puncture repair kit)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or scr ew passing through the tire tread
can be repaired temporarily using the emergency tire puncture repair
kit. (The kit contains 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.) Depending on the damage, this kit cannot be
used to repair the tire. ( P. 580)
After temporarily repairing the tire with the kit, have the tire repaired
or replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional. Repairs conducted using
the emergency tire puncture repair kit are only a temporary measure.
Have the tire repaired and replaced as soon as possible.
■ Before repairing the vehicle
● Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the lever to “P” (Multidrive) or “N” (manual transmission).
● Stop the engine.
● Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 526)

Before performing emergency repair
Check the degree of the tire
damage.
• Do not remove the nail or
screw from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and prevent emer-
gency repair with the repair kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage,
move the vehicle until the area
of the puncture, if known, is
positioned at the top of the
tire.
Taking out the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Open the auxiliary box (Type C) ( P. 400)
Take out the black case containing the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit. ( P. 578)
■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 qual ified 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 more than 2 sharp objects such as nails or screws have passed
through the tread on a single tire
● When the sealant has expired
