8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the power
switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for short distances at under 30
km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
WARNING
AWD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con-
tacting the ground, the drivetrain or
related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation of
the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Right-hand drive vehicles: Do not
tow the vehicle from the rear when the power switch is OFF. The steer-ing lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
■Towing with a sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck to prevent body damage.

retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possi-ble.
■The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural causes such as
natural air leaks and tire inflation pres- sure changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the warning light (after a few minutes).
■Conditions that the tire pressure warning system may not function
properly
 P. 4 7 7
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake
system warning lights remain on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place immediately and contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.The vehicle will become extremely
unstable during braking, and the ABS system may fail, which could cause an accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury.
■When the electric power steer-
ing 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 operations 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 pre-
cautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehicle control 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 inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable
that you have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair the flat tire by using emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering
wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-
age should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn-ing system operates properly
Do not install tires with different speci-
fications or makers, as the tire pres- sure warning system may not operate properly.

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

●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.
