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.
● To avoid risk of burst or severe leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle.
Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with shock,
crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case, immediately
replace.
● 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 when han-
dling the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part
around the connecting area between the bottle and 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
airbag from operating properly.

■ When exchanging the battery (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
Use a genuine battery specifically designed for use with the Stop & Start sys-
tem or a battery with equivalent specifications to a genuine battery. If an
unsupported battery is used, Stop & Start system functions may be restricted
to protect the battery. Also, battery performance may decrease and the
engine may not be able to restart. Contact any authorized Toyota retailers or
Toyota authorized repairers, or any reliable repairers for details.
■ When replacing the battery
● Use a battery that conforms to European regulations.
● Use a battery that the case size is same as the previous one, 20 hour rate
capacity (20HR) is equivalent or greater, and performance rating (CCA) is
equivalent or greater.
Check the label on top of the battery for the battery size and specifications
(ex. LN2, 60Ah, 520A).
• If the sizes differ, the battery cannot be properly secured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period where the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the battery may discharge and the engine
may not be able to start.
● For details, consult any authorized Toyota retailers or Toyota authorized
repairers, or any reliable repairers.
