■Conditions that the tire pres-
sure warning system may not
function properly
P.428
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake
system warning lights remain
on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer. The vehicle will
become extremely unstable
during braking, and the ABS sys-
tem may fail, which could cause
an accident resulting in death or
serious injury.
■When the electric power
steering system warning light
comes on
When the light comes on yellow,
the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes
on red, the assist to the power
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel
become extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations
are heavier than usual, grip the
steering wheel firmly and operate
it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pressure warning
light comes on
Be sure to observe the following
precautions. Failure to do so
could cause a loss of vehicle con-
trol and result in death or serious
injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe
place as soon as possible.
Adjust the tire inflation pressure
immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment, it is
probable that you have a flat
tire. Check the tires. If a tire is
flat, change it with the spare tire
and have the flat tire repaired by
the nearest Toyota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking. If the vehicle tires dete-
riorate, you could lose control of
the steering wheel or the
brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, includi ng the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label (tire and
load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)

NOTICE
■“High Power Consumption
Power to Climate Temporar-
ily Limited” is frequently
shown
There is a possible malfunction
relating to the charging system or
the 12-volt battery may be deteri-
orating. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
■If “Low Auxiliary Battery See
Owner’s Manual” is displayed
frequently
The 12-volt battery may have
deteriorated.
As the battery m ay discharge in
this state when left unattended,
have the battery inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
If you have a flat tire
(vehicles without
spare tire)
Your vehicle is not
equipped with a spare tire,
but instead is equipped with
an emergency tire puncture
repair kit. A puncture
caused by a nail or screw
passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tem-
porarily using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair
kit. (The kit contains a bottle
of sealant. The sealant can
be used only once to tempo-
rarily repair one tire without
removing the nail or screw
from the tire.) Depending on
the damage condition of the
flat tire, it may not be able to
repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair
kit. ( P.482)
After temporarily repairing
the tire with the kit, have the
tire repaired or replaced by
your Toyota dealer.
4827-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Stop the vehicle in a safe
place on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P.
Stop the hybrid system.
Turn on the emergency flash-
ers. ( P.458)
Disable the power sliding door
system. ( P.148)
For vehicles with power back
door: Disable the power back
door system. ( P.163)
Check the degree of the tire
damage.
A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit if the damage is
caused by a nail or screw pass-
ing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the opening and prevent emer-
gency repair with the repair
kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the
area of the puncture, if
known, is positioned at the
top of the tire.
■Jack and tools
As your vehicle is equipped with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit,
the following tools for replacing a
tire are not include d with your vehi-
cle. They can be purchased at your
Toyota dealer.
●Wheel nut wrench
●Jack
●Jack handle
■A flat tire that cannot be
repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit
In the following cases, the tire can-
not be repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit. Contact your
Toyota dealer.
●When the tire is damaged due to
driving without sufficient air pres-
sure
●When the tire lost air pressure due
to a crack or damage in the tire
sidewall
●When the tire is visibly separated
from the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the
WARNING
■If you have 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, which
could result in an accident.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a
circumferential groove on the side
wall.
In such a case, the tire may
explode when using a repair kit.

8 Connect the bottle to the
compressor.
Make sure that the bottle is
securely connected.
9Attach the sticker as shown.
10Check the specified tire infla- tion pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified
on the label as shown. ( P.525)
11Start the hybrid system.

12To inject the sealant and inflate the tire, turn the com-
pressor switch on.

When trouble arises
13Inflate the tire until the rec-
ommended pressure is
reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
between 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0
kgf/cm
2 or bar) and 58 psi
(400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar),
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 to 5 min-
utes after the switch is turned
on.
• 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 rec-
ommended tire inflation pressure
is reached.
• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the recommended level after inflatio
n for 25 minutes
with the switch on, the tire is too
damaged to be repaired. Turn the
compressor switch off and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the recommended level,
let out some air to adjust the tire
inflation pressure. ( P.488, 525)
14With 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.
15Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency
repaired tire.
16Attach 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 trunk while it is con-
nected to the compressor.
18To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, imme-
diately drive safely for about
3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph
(80 km/h).
