WARNING
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
● Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
● If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■ When performing an emergency repair
● A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if
the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw passing
through the tire tread.
Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and disenable emergenc y repair with the repair kit.
● The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
● Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the
side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunction may
occur.
■ Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the repair kit to any other source.
● If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care
not to allow fuel to contact it.
● Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or
water.
● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.
● Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as
the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.

When trouble arises
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” and
“LOW” lines on the reservoir.
Reservoir
“FULL” line
“LOW” line
Add coolant if necessary.
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if coolant is unavailable.
Start the hybrid system and turn the air conditioning system on to
check that the radiator cooling fans operate and to check for
coolant leaks from the radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the temperature setting is adjusted to “LO” and
“A/C” switch ( ) is turned on immediately after a cold start. Con-
firm that the fans are operating by checking the fan sound and air flow. If
it is difficult to check these, turn the “A/C” switch ( ) on and off
repeatedly. (The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the hybrid system immediately and contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
