When trouble arises
8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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 temporarily 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.) After tempor ar-
ily repairing the tire with the kit, have the tire repaired or
replaced by your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■If you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance wit h a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair, which cou ld result in an accident.

PRIUS PRIME_OM_OM47E74U_(U)
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift position to P.
● Stop the hybrid system.
● Turn on the emergency flashers.
● Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit if the damage is
caused by a nail or screw pass-
ing through the tire tread. • Do not remove the nail or screw from the tire. Remov-
ing the object may widen the
opening and make emer-
gency repair with the repair
kit impossible.
• 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 pun cture
repair kit
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the em ergency tire
puncture repair kit. Contact your Toyota dealer.
●When the tire is damaged due to driving 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 tr ead is 0.16 in. (4 mm) 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 p assed
through the tread on a single tire
