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.
1 Open the deck board.
( →P.472).
2 Take out the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
1 Take out the repair kit from the
plastic bag.
Attach the sticker enclosed with the
bottle on the specified locations. (See step 10.)
WARNING
■Do not drive the vehicle with a
flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire. Driving even a shor t distance with a
flat tire c an damage the tire and the

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.
■Caution while driving
●Store the repair k it in the luggage
compartment.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
●The repair kit is e xclusively only for your vehicle.

Therefore keep it in a safe place.
7 Connect the hose to the valve.
Screw the end of the hose clockwise as
far as possible.
8 Make sure that the compressor
switch is off.
9 Connect the power plug to the
power outlet socket. ( →P.476)
10 Attach the sticker provided with
the tire puncture repair kit to a
position easily seen from the
driver’s seat.
11 Check the specified tire inflation
pressure.
Tire inflation pressu re is specified on
the label on the driv er’s side pillar as
shown. ( →P.624)
12Start the hybrid system.
( →P.317)

13To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn th e compressor
switch on.
14 Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and
the pressure will spike to
between 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2
or bar, 44 psi) and 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm2 or bar, 58 psi), then
gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will be
displayed the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 to 5 minutes
after the switch is turned on.
Turn the compressor switch off and
then check the tire i nflation pressure.
Being careful not to over inflate, check
and repeat the inflat ion procedure until
the specified tire inf lation pressure is
reached.
The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20
minutes (depending on the outside tem -
perature). 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 com -
pressor switch off and contact any
authorized Toyota r etailer 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.
( →P.590, 624)
15With 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.
16 Install the valve cap onto the
valve of the emergency repaired
tire.
17 Attach the air release cap to the
end of the hose.
If the air release c ap is not attached, the sealant may leak and the vehicle

19 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).
20 After driving, stop your vehicle in
a safe place on a hard, flat sur-
face and reconnect the repair
kit.
Remove the air rel ease cap from the hose before reconnecting the hose.
21 Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.
If the tire infla tion 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 infla tion pressure is
130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar, 19
psi) or higher, but less than the
specified air pr essure: Proceed
to step 22.
If the tire inflation pressure is the
specified air pressure ( →P.624):
Proceed to step 23.
22 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 20.
