Check the sealant expiry date occa-
sionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bot-
tle. Do not use sealant whose expiry 
date has already passed. Other-

ment.
●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

●The compressor can be used 
repeatedly.
●The sealant can be used when the 
outside temperature is from -40°F

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-
