NOTICE
■If “Maintenance Reqd. For Trac- tion Battery At Your Dealer” is
shown
The traction battery is scheduled to be inspected or replaced. Have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer
immediately.
●Continuing to drive the vehicle with- out having the traction battery
inspected will cause the EV system not to start.
●If the EV system does not start, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately.
If you have a flat 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 tempo-
rarily using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
(The kit contains a bottle of
sealant. The sealant can be
used only once to temporarily
repair one tire without remov-
ing the nail or screw from the
tire.) Depending on the dam-
age condition of the flat tire, it
may not be able to repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit.
After temporarily repairing the
tire with the kit, have the tire
repaired or replaced by any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
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.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
on a hard, flat surface.
 Set the parking brake.
 Shift the shift position to P.
 Stop the EV system.
 Turn on the emergency flashers.
 Check the degree of the tire
damage.
A tire should only be repaired with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit if the
damage is caused by a nail or screw
passing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw from
the tire. Removing the object may
widen the opening and make emer-
gency repair with the repair kit impos-
sible.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the
vehicle until the area of the puncture,
if known, is positioned at the top of
the tire.
■A flat tire that cannot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●When the tire is damaged due to driv-ing without sufficient air pressure
●When there are any cracks or damage at any location on the tire, such as on
the side wall, except the tread
●When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
●When the wheel is damaged
●When two or more tires have been punctured
●When more than one sharp objects such as nails or screws have passed through the tread on a single tire

■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●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 in the bottle and other parts of the kit have been used and need to be replaced, contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●The compressor can be used repeat-edly.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -40°C
(-40°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.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●Check the sealant expiry date occa-sionally. The expiry date is shown on the bottle.
●Do not use sealant whose expiry date has already passed. Otherwise,
repairs conducted using the emer- gency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.
●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.
WARNING
■If you have 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 trouble arises
13To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
14 Inflate the tire until the recom-
mended 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 dis-
play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure about 1 to 5 minutes 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 proce-
dure until the specified tire inflation
pressure is reached.
• The tire can be inflated for about 5 to
20 minutes (depending on the out-
side temperature). If the tire inflation
pressure is still lower than the speci-
fied point after inflation for 25 min-
utes, the tire is too damaged to be
repaired. Turn the compressor switch
off and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer 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.537)
15With 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.
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 cap is not attached, the sealant may leak and the vehicle

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
may get dirty.
18 Temporarily store the bottle in
the luggage compartment while
it is connected to the compres-
sor.
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 release 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 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 22.
If the tire inflation pressure is the
specified air pressure ( P.559):
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.
23 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

as the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunc-tion.
■To avoid damage to the tire pres-sure warning valves and trans-
mitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized Toyota retailer
or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or other qualified ser-vice shop as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when repairing
or replacing the tire. ( P.479)

charged. ( P.544)
 The 12-volt battery terminal con-
nections may be loose or cor-
roded. ( P.473)
One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:
 One or both of the 12-volt battery
terminals may be disconnected.
