■Note for checking the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occa-
sionally. The expiry date is shown
on the bottle. Do not use sealant
whose expiry dat e has already
passed. Otherwise, repairs con-
ducted using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be per-
formed properly.
■Emergency tire puncture repair
kit
●The emergency tire puncture
repair kit is for f
illing the car tire
with air.
●The sealant has a limited life
span. The expiry date is marked
on the bottle. The sealant should
be replaced before the expiry
date. Contact your Toyota dealer
for replacement.
●The sealant stored in the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit can
be used only once to temporarily
repair a single tire. If the sealant in
the bottle and other parts of the kit
have been used and need to be
replaced, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●The compressor can be used
repeatedly.
●The sealant can be used when the
outside temperature is from -40°F
(-40°C) to 140°F (60°C).
●The kit is exclusi vely designed for
size and type of ti res originally
installed on your vehicle. Do not
use it for tires t hat different size
than the original ones, or for any
other purposes.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes,
it may stain.
●If the sealant adhe res to a wheel
or the surface of the vehicle body,
the stain may not be removable if
it is not cleaned at once. Immedi-
ately wipe away the sealant with a
wet cloth.
●During operation of the repair kit,
a loud operation noise is pro-
duced. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
●Do not use to check or to adjust
the tire pressure.

When trouble arises
9Attach the sticker as shown.
10 Check the specified tire infla-
tion pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified
on the label as shown. ( P.523)
11 Start the hybrid system.
( P.233)
12 To inject the sealant and
inflate the tire, turn the com-
pressor switch on. 13Inflate the tire until the rec-
ommended pressure is
reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
between 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0
kgf/cm2 or bar) and 58 psi
(400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar),
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 to 5 min-
utes after the switch is turned
on.
• Turn the compre ssor switch off
and then check the tire inflation
pressure. Being careful not to
over inflate, check and repeat the
inflation procedure until the rec-
ommended tire inflation pressure
is reached.
• If the tire inflati on pressure is still
lower than the recommended

4867-2. Steps to take in an emergency
level after inflation for 25 minutes
with the switch on, the tire is too
damaged to be repaired. Turn the
compressor switch off and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the recommended level,
let out some air to adjust the tire
inflation pressure. ( P.487, 523)
14 With the compressor switch
off, disconnect the hose from
the valve on the tire and then
pull out the power plug from
the power outlet socket.
Some sealant may leak when the
hose is removed.
15 Install the valve cap onto the
valve of the emergency
repaired tire.
16 Attach the air release cap to
the end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not
attached, the sealant may leak and
the vehicle ma y get dirty.
17Temporarily store the bottle
in the trunk while it is con-
nected to the compressor.
18 To spread the liquid sealant
evenly within the tire, imme-
diately drive safely for about
3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph
(80 km/h). 19After driving, stop your vehi-
cle in a safe place on a hard,
flat surface and reconnect
the compressor.
20Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several sec-
onds, then turn it off. Check
the tire inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
below 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3
kgf/cm
2 or bar): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
your Toyota dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure is
between 19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3
kgf/cm
2 or bar) and a point
below the recommended
level: Proceed to step 21.
If the tire inflation pressure is
at the recommended level:
Proceed to step 22.

When trouble arises
21Turn the compressor switch
on to inflate the tire until the
recommended tire inflation
pressure is reached. Drive for
about 3 miles (5 km) and
then perform step 19.
22 Attach the air release cap to
the end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not
attached, the sealant may leak and
the vehicle ma y get dirty.
23Store the bottle in the lug-
gage compartment while it is
connected to the compres-
sor.
24 Taking precautions to avoid
sudden braking, sudden
acceleration and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 50
mph (80 km/h) to your Toyota
dealer that is less than 62
miles (100 km) away for tire
repair or replacement.
Make sure to tell your Toyota
dealer when you have them repair
or replace the tire that sealant is
injected.
■If the tire is i nflated to more
than the specified air pressure
1 Disconnect the hose from the
valve. 2
Install the air release cap to the
end of the hose and push the
protrusion on the air release cap
into the tire valve to let some air
out.
3 Disconnect the hose from the
valve, remove the air release cap
from the hose and then recon-
nect the hose.
4 Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for seve ral seconds,
and then turn it off. Check that
the air pressure indicator shows
the specified air pressure.
If the air pressure is lower than the
designated pressure, turn the com-
pressor switch on again and repeat
the inflation pr ocedure until the
specified air pressure is reached.
■After a tire is re paired 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
pressure warning light may come
on/flash.
WARNING
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and
flat area.
Page 488 of 600

4887-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
●Do not touch the wheels or the
area around the brakes immedi-
ately 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.
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with the tire installed
on the vehicle. If the hose is not
properly connected to the valve,
air leakage may occur as seal-
ant 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 dis-
connected or some air is let out
of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure
to repair the tire. If the proce-
dures not followed, 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 per-
formed. If you notice any cracks
or deformation of the tire, turn
off the compressor switch and
stop the repair operation imme-
diately.
●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 re pair kit become
hot during operation. Be careful
handling the repair kit during
and after operation. Do not
touch the metal part around the
connecting area between the
bottle and the compressor. It will
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 SRS airbag is located,
such as the pad of the steering
wheel, it may prevent the SRS
airbag from operating properly.
■Driving to spread the liquid
sealant evenly
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a
low speed. Be especially careful
when turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive
straight or you feel a pull
through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the fol-
lowing.
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130
kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar) or less,
the tire may be severely dam-
aged.
