When trouble arises
Connect the bottle to the com- 
pressor.
As shown in the illustration, insert 
the bottle vertically into the com- 
pressor to connect making sure 
that the claw on the bottle’s neck is
hooked onto the cutout of the com- 
pressor case.
Check the specified tire inflation pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified on the label on the driver’s side pillar as 
shown. ( P. 535)
Start the hybrid system. (P. 224)

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 retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure, 
let out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure.

Turn the compressor switch on 
and wait for an approximately 5 
seconds, and then turn it off. 
Check the tire inflation pres- 
sure. 
If the tire inflation pressure is 
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact 
any authorized Toyota 
retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable 
repairer. 
If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi) 
or higher, but less than the specified air pressure: Proceed to 
step . 
If the tire inflation pressure is the specified air pressure ( P. 535): 
Proceed to step  . 
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the specified 
air pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 miles) and then 
perform step  . 
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.
Store the bottle in the luggage compartment while it is connected to 
the compressor. 
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration 
and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50 mph) to the 
nearest authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer for tire repair or replacement.

■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure 
Disconnect the hose from the valve. 
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the 
hose and then reconnect the hose. 
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, and then turn 
it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the specified air pressure. 
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the compressor 
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the specified air 
pressure is reached. 
■ After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit 
● The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced. 
● Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pres- 
sure warning light may come on/flash. 
■ Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit 
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally. 
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry date
has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emergency tire 
puncture repair kit may not be performed properly. 
Install the air release cap to the end of 
the hose and push the protrusion on the
air release cap into the tire valve to let 
some air out.

■ Emergency tire puncture repair kit 
● The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used 
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used
and needs to be purchased, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota 
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
● The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40°C (-40°F) 
to 60°C (140°F). 
● The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally 
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the
original ones, or for any other purposes. 
● The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is shown on the bottle. 
The bottle of sealant should be replaced  with a new bottle before the expiry 
date. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or 
any reliable repairer for replacement. 
● If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain. 
● If the sealant adheres to a wheel or the surface of the vehicle body, the stain 
may not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe away 
the sealant with a wet cloth. 
● During operation of the repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This 
does not indicate a malfunction. 
● Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.

WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire 
● Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area. 
● Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after 
the vehicle has been driven.  
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or 
other body parts may result in burns. 
● Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle. 
If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur 
as sealant may be sprayed out. 
● If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that 
the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure. 
● After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the 
hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire. 
● Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not fol- 
lowed, the sealant may spray out. 
● Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it 
bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any 
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop 
the repair operation immediately. 
● The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not 
operate the repair kit continuously for more than 40 minutes. 
● Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the 
repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connect-
ing the bottle and the compressor. It will be extremely hot. 
● Do not attach the vehicle speed warning sticker to an area other than the 
one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an SRS airbag is
located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS air- 
bag from operating properly.

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.
