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. 687, 723)
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.

When trouble arises
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. 723):
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 .

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.
Store the bottle in the luggage compartment while it is connected to
the compressor.
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50 mph) to the
nearest authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer that is less than 100 km (62 miles) away for tire
repair or replacement.
For repair and replacement of a tire or disposal of a tire puncture repair kit,
contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
When having the tire repaired or replaced, make sure to tell any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer that
