3587-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Stop the vehicle in a safe
place on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the shift lever to P (auto-
matic transmission) or R
(manual transmission).
Stop the engine.
Turn on the emergency flash-
ers. ( P.338)
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. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and disenable emer-
gency repair with the kit.
• 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 puncture repair kit
In the following cases, the tire can-
not be repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit. Contact your
Toyota dealer.
●When the tire is damaged due to
driving without sufficient air pres-
sure
●When the tire lost air pressure due
to a crack or damage in the tire
sidewall
●When the tire is visibly separated
from the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the
tread is 0.16 in. (4 mm) long or
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead
is equipped with an emer-
gency tire puncture repair
kit.
A puncture caused by a nail
or screw passing through
the tire tread can be
repaired temporarily with
the emergency tire puncture
repair kit.
WARNING
■If you have 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 case, the tire may
explode when using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit,
resulting in death or serious injury.
