• “Smart Entry & Start System Malfunc- 
tion”
●If any of the following messages are 
displayed on the multi-information dis- play, it may indicate a malfunction.  
Immediately stop the vehicle and con-
tact any authorized Toyota retailer or  Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- 
able repairer.
• “Braking Power Low” • “Charging System Malfunction” 
• “Oil Pressure Low”
NOTICE
■If “High Power Consumption Par-
tial Limit on AC/Heater Opera- tion” is displayed frequently 
There is a possible malfunction relat- 
ing to the charging system or the bat- tery may be deteriorating. Have the  
vehicle inspected by any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized  repairer, or any reliable repairer  
immediately.
If  you have a flat tire  
(vehicles with an emer-
gency tire puncture  
repair kit)
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 removing the nail 
or screw from the tire.) 
Depending on the damage, this 
kit cannot be used to repair the 
tire. ( P.523)
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. Repairs 
conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit 
are only a temporary measure. 
Have the tire repaired and 
replaced as soon as possible.

When trouble arises
 Stop the vehicle in a safe place  
on a hard, flat surface. 
 Set the parking brake. 
 Shift the shift lever to P  
(Multidrive) or N (manual trans-
mission). 
 Stop the engine. 
 Turn on the emergency flashers. 
 Check the degree of the tire  
damage. 
Do not remove the nail or screw  
from the tire. Removing the object 
may widen the opening and make 
emergency repair with the repair kit 
impossible.

●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 has been used 
and needs to be replaced, purchase a  new bottle at any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, 
or any reliable repairer. 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 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.

11 Connect the power plug to the  
power outlet socket. ( P.451) 
12 Check the specified tire inflation  
pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified on  the label as shown. ( P.573)
13Start the vehicle's engine. 
14 To inject the sealant and inflate  
the tire, turn  the compressor  
switch on. 
15 Inflate the tire until the specified  
air pressure is reached. 
The sealant will be injected and  
the pressure will  surge and then  
gradually decrease.

play the actual tire inflation pres-
sure about 1 minute (5 minutes 
at low temperature) after the 
switch is turned on. 
Inflate the tire until the specified  
air pressure. 
 If the tire inflation pressure is still  
lower than the specified point 
after inflation for 35 minutes with 
the switch on, the tire is too dam-
aged to be repaired. Turn the 
compressor switch off and con-
tact any authorized Toyota  
retailer or Toyota authorized  
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 

5308-2. Steps to take in an emergency
