5288-2. Steps to take in an emergency
13To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
14 Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and
the pressure will spike to
between 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2
or bar, 44 psi) and 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm2 or bar, 58 psi), then
gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will be
displayed the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 to 5 minutes
after the switch is turned on.
Turn the compressor switch off and
then check the tire inflation pressure.
Being careful not to over inflate, check
and repeat the inflation procedure until
the specified tire inflation pressure is
reached.
The tire can be inflated for about 5 to 20
minutes (depending on the outside tem-
perature). If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the specified point after
inflation for 25 minutes, the tire is too
damaged to be repaired. Turn the com-
pressor switch off and contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the
specified air pressure, let out some air
to adjust the tire inflation pressure.

WARNING
QWhen fixing the flat tire
OStop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
ODo 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 around the brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands,
feet or other body parts may result in burns.
OConnect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle. If the hose is not prop-
erly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur as sealant may be sprayed out.
OIf the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk
that the hose will move abruptly due to air pressure.
OAfter inflation of the tire has com-pleted, the sealant may splatter when the hose is disconnected or
some air is let out of the tire.
OFollow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not followed, the sealant may spray
out.
OKeep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance of it bursting while the repair opera-tion is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair operation
immediately.
OThe repair kit may overheat if oper-
ated for a long period of time. Do not operate the repair kit continu-ously for more than 40 minutes.
OParts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful han-
dling the repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connecting the bottle and the
compressor. It will be extremely hot.
ODo 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 SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may
prevent the SRS airbag from oper- ating properly.
QDriving to spread the liquid seal-ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
ODrive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.

WARNING
OIf the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steer-
ing 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.
NOTICE
QWhen performing an emergency repair
OA tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair kit if the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw
passing through the tire tread. Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and disen- able emergency repair with the
repair kit.
OThe repair kit is not waterproof.
Make sure that the repair kit is not exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
ODo not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at
the side of the road. If the repair kit vacuums up dust etc., a malfunc-tion may occur.
OMake sure to stand the kit with the bottle vertical. The kit cannot work
properly if it is laid on its side.
QPrecautions for the emergency
tire puncture repair kit
OThe repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
