When trouble arises
Inflate the tire until the specified air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 44
psi) or 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/cm2 or
bar, 58 psi), then gradually
decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion 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 out-
side temperature). 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 compressor 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. ( P. 612, 665)
With the compressor switch off, pull out the power plug from the
power outlet socket and then disconnect the hose from the valve on
the tire.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired tire.
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 may get dirty.

Temporarily store the bottle in the luggage compartment while it is
connected to the compressor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive
safely for about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving, stop your vehicle
in a safe place on a hard, flat
surface and reconnect the
repair kit.
Remove the air release cap from
the hose before reconnecting the
hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then
turn it off. Check the tire inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
If the tire inflation pressure is
130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar,
19 psi) or higher, but less
than the specified air pres-
sure: Proceed to step .
If the tire inflation pressure is the specified air pressure ( P. 665):
Proceed to step .
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 miles) and then
perform step .

■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the
hose and then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, and then turn
it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the specified air pressure.
( P. 665)
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the specified air
pressure is reached.
■ The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emer gency tire puncture repair kit, the valve
should be replaced.
■ After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit (vehi-
cles with the tire pressure warning system)
● The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
● Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pres-
sure warning light may come on/flash.
■ Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry date
has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emergency tire
puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.
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.

When trouble arises
WARNING
■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 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.
● 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 sealant 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 disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
● Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not fol-
lowed, 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 performed. If you notice any
cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop
the repair operation immediately.
● 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 repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the
repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part connect-
ing 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 air-
bag from operating properly.

WARNING
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant 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.
● Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when turn-
ing and cornering.
● If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering
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
■ When performing an emergency repair
● A 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 disenable emergenc y repair with the repair kit.
● The 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.
● Do 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 malfunction may
occur.
● Make sure the sealant bottle of the repair kit is in a vertical position. The
repair kit does not operate properly when it is laid.
■ Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do
not connect the repair kit to any other source.
● If fuel splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take care
not to allow fuel to contact it.
● Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or
water.
● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.
● Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as
the air pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.

When trouble arises
■The compact spare tire (if equipped)
● The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
● Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P. 665)
■ When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with the tire pressure warn-
ing system)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by
the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire
after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
■ When the compact spare tire is equipped (if equipped)
The vehicle height may become lower when driving with the compact spare
tire compared to when driving with standard tires.
■ If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehicles
with compact spare tire)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Per-
form the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.
■ Jack point
■ Storing the jack
The mark indicating the jack point is
stamped on the underside of the vehicle.
Place the jack in the same direction as the
mark next to the storage space.
