24 Taking precautions to avoid sud-
den braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turns, drive
carefully at under 80 km/h (50
mph) to the nearest Toyota
dealer that is less than 100 km
(62 miles) away for tire repair or

■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
1 Disconnect the hose from the valve.
2 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.
3 Disconnect the hose from the valve,
remove the air release cap from the hose and then reconnect the hose.
4 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. ( →P.357)
If the air pressure is under the desig- nated pressure, turn the compressor switch on again and repeat the inflation
procedure until the specified air pres- sure is reached.
■The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emer- gency tire puncture repair kit, the valve should be replaced.
■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.
WARNING
■Do not drive the vehicle with a
flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire. Driving even a short distance with a
flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond repair.

cumferential groove on the side wall. In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.

WARNING
■When removing the battery ter-minals
Always remove the negative (-) termi-
nal first. If the positive (+) terminal contacts any metal in the surrounding area when the positive (+) terminal is
removed, a spark may occur, leading to a fire in addition to electrical shocks and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or explo-sions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam-mable gas that may be emitted from
the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not unintentionally in
contact with any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” terminal to come into contact with
any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come into con-
tact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, ciga-
rette lighters or allow open flame near the battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolyte, while
related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when handling the bat-
tery:
●When working with the battery,
always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact
with skin, clothing or the vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes
into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical atten-
tion. Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after han-dling the battery support, terminals,
and other battery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the bat-
tery.
