When trouble arises
cle over in a safe place and
reconnect the compressor.
17 Turn the compressor switch
on and wait for several sec-
onds, then turn it off. Check
the tire inflation pressure.
18 If the air pressure is in red
zone of the air gauge, the kit
did not successfully seal the
puncture. In this case, please
stop driving and contact your
Toyota dealer.
19 Taking precautions to avoid
sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 50
mph (80 km/h) to the nearest
Toyota dealer that is less
than 124 miles (200 km)
away for tire repair or
replacement.
■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
■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 tire and
the wheel beyond repair. Driving
with a flat tire may cause a cir-
cumferential groove on the side
wall. In such a cas e, the tire may
explode when using a repair kit.
■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 immedi-
ately after the vehicle has been
driven.
After the vehicle has been
driven, the whee ls and the area
around the brakes may be
extremely hot. Touching these
areas with hands, feet or other
body parts may result in burns.

the bottle vertical. The kit can-
not work properly if it is laid on
its side.
■Handling the emergency tire
puncture repair kit
●The compressor power source
should be 12 V DC suitable for
vehicle use. Do not connect the
compressor to any other
source.
●If gasoline splatters on the kit,
the kit may deteriorate. Take
care not to allo w gasoline to
contact it.
●Store the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit in the trunk. The
kit may be thrown around during
sudden braking and so forth,
damaging the kit.

prevent it from b eing exposed to
dirt or water.
●Store the kit in its assigned
place out of reach of children.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the kit. Do not subject parts
such as the air pressure indica-
tor to impacts. This may cause a
malfunction.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. (

When trouble arises
Connect the jumper cable to ground on your vehicle as shown in
the illustration.
4 Start the engine of the sec-
ond vehicle. Increase the
engine speed slightly and
maintain at that level for
approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the battery of your
vehicle.
5 Open and close any of the
door of your vehicle with the
engine switch off.
6 Maintain the engine speed of
the second vehicle and start
the engine of your vehicle by
turning the engine switch to
ON.
7 Once the vehicle’s engine
has started, remove the
jumper cables in the exact
reverse order from which
they were connected.
Once the engine starts, have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
■Starting the engine when the
battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by
push-starting.
■To prevent battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the
audio system while the engine is
off.
●Turn off any unnecessary electri-
cal components when the vehicle
is running at a low speed for an
extended period, such as in heavy
traffic.
■When the battery is removed or
discharged
Information stored in the ECU is
cleared. When the battery is
depleted, have the vehicle
inspected at your Toyota dealer.
■When removing the battery ter-
minals
When the battery terminals are
removed, the information stored in
the ECU is cleared. Before remov-
ing the battery term inals, contact
your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery
will discharge grad ually even when
the vehicle is not in use, due to nat-
ural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appli-
ances. If the vehicle is left for a long
time, the battery may discharge,
and the engine may be unable to
start. (The battery recharges auto-
matically during driving.)
■When recharging or replacing
the battery
●In some cases, it may not be pos-
sible to unlock the doors using the
smart key system when the bat-
tery is discharged. Use the wire-
less remote control or the
mechanical key to lock or unlock
the doors.
●The engine may not start on the
first attempt after the battery has
recharged but will start normally
after the second attempt. This is
not a malfunction.
●The engine switch mode is memo-
rized by the vehicle. When the
battery is reconnected, the system
will return to the mode it was in
before the bat tery was dis-
charged. Before disconnecting the
battery, turn the engine switch off.

battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the
battery.
WARNING
■When removing the battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-)
terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-
minal contacts any metal in the
surrounding area when the posi-
tive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, l eading to a fire
in addition to electrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or
explosions
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidentally igniting the
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps
of the jumper cables to come
into contact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches,
cigarette lighters or allow open
flame near the battery.
■Battery precautions
The battery contains poisonous
and corrosive acid ic electrolyte,
while related parts contain lead
and lead compounds. Observe
the following precautions when
handling the battery:
●When working with the battery,
always wear safety glasses and
take care not to allow any bat-
tery fluids (acid) to come into
contact with skin, clothing or the
vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid
comes into contact with the skin
or eyes, immediately wash the
affected area with water and
seek medical attention. Place a
wet sponge or cloth over the
affected area until medical
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after
handling the battery support,
terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the
battery.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle
Do not pull- or push-start the vehi-
cle as the three-way catalytic con-
verter may overheat and become
a fire hazard.
NOTICE
■When handling jumper cables
Be careful that the jumper cables
do not become tangled in the
cooling fans or any of the belts
when connecting or disconnecting
them.
■When closing the doors
While pushing the door glass
towards the inside of the vehicle,
slowly close the door.
Because the side window
open/close function linked to door
operation will no t operate, the
window may interfere with the
vehicle body, possibly scratching
both the vehicle body and win-
dow, or even shattering the win-
dow.

■Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability prob-
lems may be caused by the brand of
gasoline you are using. If driveability
problems persist, try changing the
brand of gasoline. If this does not
correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.
■Recommendation of the use of
gasoline containing detergent
additives
●Toyota recommends the use of
gasoline that contains detergent
additives to avoid the build-up of
engine deposits.
●All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. con-
tains minimum detergent additives
to clean and/or keep clean intake
systems, per EPA’s lowest addi-
tives concentration program.
●Toyota strongly recommends the
use of Top Tier Detergent Gaso-
line. For more information on Top
Tier Detergent Gas
oline and a list
of marketers, pleas e go to the offi-
cial website www.toptiergas.com.
■Recommendation of the use of
low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates
such as ethers and ethanol, as well
as reformulated gasolines, are avail-
able in some cities. These fuels are
typically acceptable for use, provid-
ing they meet other fuel require-
ments.
Toyota recommends these fuels,
since the formulations allow for
reduced vehicle emissions.
■Non-recommendation of the
use of blended gasoline
●Use only gasoline containing up to
15% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gas-
oline that could contain more than
15% ethanol, including from any
pump labeled E30 (30% ethanol
[ ]), E50 (50% ethanol [ ]), E85
(85% ethanol [ ]) (which are only
some examples of f uel containing
more than 15% ethanol).
Fuel infor mation
You must only use unleaded
gasoline.
The engine is designed to
operate at maximum perfor-
mance using unleaded gas-
oline with an octane rating
of 93 (98 RON) or higher. If
an octane rating of 93 (98
RON) fuel is not readily
available in your area,
unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 (95 RON)
may be used with no detri-
ment to engine durability or
driveability. However, you
may notice a slight
decrease in maximum
engine performance and
you may hear some knock-
ing (pinging) of an engine
while using an octane rating
of 91 (95 RON) fuel.
If the octane rating is less
than 91, damage to the
engine may occur and may
void the vehicle warranty.
At minimum, the gasoline
you use should meet the
specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A..

●If you use gasohol in your vehicle,
be sure that it has an octane rat-
ing no lower than 91.
●Toyota does not recommend the
use of gasoline co ntaining metha-
nol.
■Non-recommendation of the
use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane
enhancing additive called MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manga-
nese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use
of gasoline that contains MMT. If
fuel containing MMT is used, your
emission control system may be
adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on
the instrument cluster may come on.
If this happens, contact your Toyota
dealer for service.
■If your engine knocks
●Consult your Toyota dealer.
●You may occasionally notice light
knocking for a short time while
accelerating or dr iving uphill. This
is normal and there is no need for
concern.
NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
●Do not use impro per fuels. If
improper fuels are used, the
engine will be damaged.
●Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause
damage to your vehicle’s
three-way catalytic converters
causing the emission control
system to malfunction.
●Do not use gasoho l other than
the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel
system damage or vehicle per-
formance problems.
●Using unleaded gasoline with
an octane number or rating
lower than the level previously
stated may cause persistent
heavy knocking.
At worst, this may lead to
engine damage and will void the
vehicle warranty.
■When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It
can damage your vehicle’s paint.
■Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability (poor hot start-
ing, vaporization, engine knock-
ing, etc.) is encountered after
using a different type of fuel, dis-
continue the use of that type of
fuel.
