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 spike to
between 44 psi (300 kPa,
3.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar) and
58 psi (400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2
or bar), then gradually
decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 to 5
minutes after the switch is
turned on.
• 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 inflation pressure is
reached.
• The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20 minutes (depending on the outside temperature). If the tire inflation pressure is still lower
than the specified point after infl ation for 25 minutes, the tire is
too damaged to be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off and
contact your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exce eds the specified air pressure, let
out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( →P. 682, 716)

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 3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph (80 km/h).
After driving, stop your vehicle
in a safe place on a hard, flat
surface and reconnect the
repair kit.
Remove the air release cap from
the hose before reconnecting the
hose.
