When trouble arises
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)

Turn the compressor switch is
(off).
Pull out the power plug from the power outlet socket and then d is-
connect the nozzle from the valve on the tire.

When trouble arises
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the repaired tire.
Disconnect the hose from the
bottle and attach the cap to the
bottle.
Place the bottle in the original bag
and zip it.
Temporarily store the bottle and compressor in the luggage com-
partment.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediatel y drive
safely for about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving for about 5 km (3
miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat sur-
face and connect the compres-
sor.

Check the tire inflation pres-
sure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot 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 .
If the tire inflation pressure is the specified air pressure (P. 776):
Proceed to .
Turn the compressor switch is (on) to inflate the tire until t he
specified air pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 mile s) and
then perform .
Store the compressor in the luggage compartment.
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50 mph) to t he
nearest authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repaire r, o r
any reliable repairer for tire repair or replacement.

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.

■ Emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle.
The bottle of sealant should be replaced with a new bottle befo re the expiry
date. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authoriz ed repairer, or
any reliable repairer for replacement.
● The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant h as been used
and needs to be replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authoriz ed Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repaire r. The compres-
sor is reusable.
● The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C (-22°F)
to 60°C (140°F).
● The repair kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a diffe rent 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.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the t ire and the
wheel beyond repair.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may e xplode when using a repair kit.
■ Caution while driving
● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment.
Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braki ng.
● The repair kit is exclusively only for your vehicle.
Do not use repair kit on other vehicles, which could lead to an accident
causing death or serious injury.
● Do not use repair kit for tires that are different size than the original ones,
or for any other purpose. If the tires have not been completely repaired, it
could lead to an accident caus ing death or serious injury.
■ Precautions for use of the sealant
● Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doc-
tor.
● If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.

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.
