Check  the  tire  inflation  pres- 
sure. 
If the tire inflation pressure is 
under  130  kPa  (1.3  kgf/cm2

cannot  be  repaired.  Contact 
any  authorized  Toyota 
retailer  or  Toyota  authorized 
repairer,  or  any  reliable 
repairer.

Check the specified tire inflation pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified on the label as shown. (P. 776)
Start the hybrid system. (P.   3 0 5 )

Inflate the tire until the specified 
air pressure is reached. 
The  sealant  will  be  injected 
and  the  pressure  will  surge 
and then gradually decrease. 
The  air  pressure  gauge  will 
display  the  actual  tire  infla- 
tion  pressure  about  1  minute 
(5  minutes  at  low  tempera- 
ture)  after  the  switch  is 
turned   (on). 
Inflate the tire until the speci- 
fied air pressure.
• If  the  tire  inflation  pressure  is 
still  lower  than  the  specified 
point after inflation for 35 min-
utes  with  the  switch  is 
(on),  the  tire  is  too  damaged
to  be  repaired. Turn  the  com-
pressor switch is  (off) and 
contact  any  authorized 
Toyota  retailer  or  Toyota
authorized  repairer,  or  any 
reliable repairer. 
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air press ure, let out 
some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P. 723, 776)

When trouble arises
■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure 
Press the button to let some air out. 
Check that the air pressure indicator shows the specified air p ressure. 
If  the  air  pressure  is  under  the  designated  pressure,  turn  the  compressor 
switch on (type A) or  (on) (type B) again and repeat the inflation proce- 
dure until the specified air pressure is reached. 
■ The valve of a tire that has been repaired 
After  a  tire  is  repaired  with  the  emergency  tire  puncture  repai r  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. 
■ Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit 
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally. 
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whos e expiry date 
has  already  passed.  Otherwise,  repairs  conducted  using  the  emer gency  tire 
puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.

WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire 
● Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area. 
● Do  not  touch  the  wheels  or  the  area  around  the  brakes  immediately  after 
the vehicle has been driven.  
After  the  vehicle  has  been  driven,  the  wheels  and  the  area  arou nd  the 
brakes  may  be  extremely  hot.  Touching  these  areas  with  hands,  f eet  or 
other body parts may result in burns. 
● To avoid risk of burst or severe leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle. 
Visually  inspect  the  bottle  before  use.  Do  not  use  a  bottle  wit h  shock, 
crack,  scratch,  leakage  or  any  other  damage.  In  such  case,  imme diately 
replace. 
● Connect  the valve and  hose  securely  with the  wheel  installed  to the  vehi- 
cle.  If  the  hose  is  not  properly  connected  to  the  valve,  air  le akage  may 
occur and sealant may be sprayed out. 
● If  the  hose  comes  off  the  valve  while  inflating  the  tire,  there  is  a  risk  that 
the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure. 
● After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may splatter when the 
hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire. 
● Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not fol- 
lowed, the sealant may spray out. 
● Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it 
bursting  while  the  repair  operation  is  being  performed.  If  you  notice  any 
cracks  or  deformation  of  the  tire,  turn  off  (type A)  or  (off)  (type  B)  the
compressor switch and stop the repair operation immediately. 
● The  repair  kit  may  overheat  if  operated  for  a  long  period  of  time.  Do  not 
operate the repair kit continuously for more than 40 minutes. 
● Parts of the  repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful  when han- 
dling the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch t he metal part 
around the connecting area between the bottle and the compresso r.   I t   w il l 
be extremely hot. 
● Do not attach the vehicle  speed warning  sticker to  an area  other than the 
one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an S RS airbag is 
located,  such  as  the  pad  of  the  steering  wheel,  it  may  prevent  the  SRS 
airbag from operating properly.

WARNING
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly 
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of acciden ts.  
Failing  to  do  so  may  result  in  a  loss  of  vehicle  control  and  ca use  death  or 
serious injury. 
● Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn- 
ing and cornering. 
● If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering 
wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following. 
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel. 
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 130  kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.

■The compact spare tire (if equipped) 
● The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” 
on the tire sidewall. 
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergenc y. 
● Make  sure  to  check  the  tire  inflation  pressure  of  the  compact  spare  tire. 
( P. 776) 
■ When using the compact spare tire (if equipped) 
As  the  compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure  warning valve 
and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will  not be indicated by 
the tire pressure warning system. Also, if  you replace the comp act spare tire 
after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remai ns on. 
■ When the compact spare tire is equipped (if equipped) 
The  vehicle  height  may  become  lower  when  driving  with  the  compa ct  spare 
tire compared to when driving with standard tires. 
■ If  you have a flat front tire  on a  road covered with snow  or ice (vehicles 
with compact spare tire) 
Install  the  compact  spare  tire  on  one  of  the  rear  wheels  of  the   vehicle.  Per- 
form the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires : 
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear  of the vehicle. 
Fit tire chains to the front tires.
