■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasion- ally.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 per- formed properly.
■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is for filling the car tire with air.
●The sealant has a limited life span. The expiry date is marked on the bot-tle. The sealant should be replaced
before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for replacement.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a sin- gle tire. If the sealant has been used and needs to be replaced, purchase a
new bottle at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The compres-
sor is reusable.
●The sealant can be used when the
outside temperature is from -30°C (- 22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
●The 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.
●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
■Caution while driving
●Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
●The repair kit is exclusively only for your vehicle.Do not use repair kit on other vehi-
cles, which could lead to an acci- dent causing death or serious injury.

When trouble arises
1Open the deck board. (→P.241)
2 Take out the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. ( →P.327)
1 Remove the hose and take out
the power plug from the com-
pressor.
2 Connect the bottle to the com-
pressor.
Insert and connect the bottle straight into the compressor as shown in the illustration, and check that the claws of
the bottle are concealed in the holes.
3 Connect the hose to the bottle.
As shown in the illustration, make sure the hose is connected securely to the
WARNING
●Do not use repair kit for tires that are different size than the original
ones, or for any other purpose. If the tires have not been completely repaired, it could lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious injury.
■Precautions for use of the seal-ant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous
to your health. If you ingest sealant, consume as much water as possi-ble, and then immediately consult a
doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to
skin, immediately wash it off with water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.

4 Remove the valve cap from the
valve of the punctured tire.
5 Extend the hose. Remove the
air release cap from the hose.
You will use the air release cap again.
Therefore keep it in a safe place.
6 Connect the hose to the valve.
Screw the end of the hose clockwise as
far as possible.
7 Make sure that the compressor
switch is off.

8Connect the power plug to the
power outlet socket. ( →P.244)
9 Attach the sticker provided with
the tire puncture repair kit to a
position easily seen from the
driver’s seat.
10 Check the specified tire inflation
pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified on the label on the driver’s side door frame
as shown. ( →P.357)

11 Start the vehicle’s engine.
12 To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.

13Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and
the pressure will spike to 300
kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 44 psi)
or 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/cm2 or bar,
58 psi), then gradually
decrease.
The air pressure gauge will dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure about 1 to 5 minutes after
the switch is turned on.
z 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.
z 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
inflation for 25 minutes, the tire is
too damaged to be repaired.
Turn the compressor switch off
and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
z If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the specified air pres-
sure, let out some air to adjust
the tire inflation pressure.
( →P.334, 357)
14 With the compressor switch off,
pull out the power plug from the
power outlet socket and then
disconnect the hose from the
valve on the tire.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
15 Install the valve cap onto the
valve of the emergency repaired
tire.
16 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.
17Temporarily store the bottle in
the luggage compartment while
it is connected to the compres-
sor.
18 To spread the liquid sealant
evenly within the tire, immedi-
ately drive safely for about 5 km
(3 miles) below 80 km/h (50
mph).
19 After driving, stop your vehicle in
a safe place on a hard, flat sur-
face and reconnect the repair
kit.
Remove the air release cap from the hose before reconnecting the hose.
20 Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or
bar, 19 psi): The puncture can-
not 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 21.
If the tire inflation pressure is the
specified air pressure ( →P.357):
Proceed to step 22.
21 Turn the compressor switch on
to inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure is reached.
Drive for about 5 km (3 miles)
and then perform step 19.
22 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.
23 Store the bottle in the luggage
compartment while it is con-
nected to the compressor.
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
replacement.
When having the tire repaired or replaced, make sure to tell any autho-rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer that the sealant is injected.
■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.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a cir-
cumferential groove on the side wall. In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat
area.
