When trouble arises
■While towing
If the fuel cell system is off, the power assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
■ Wheel nut wrench
Wheel nut wrench is installed in trunk. (P. 386 434)
■ Before transporting or towing in frozen areas
Operate the water release function. Otherwise, the fuel cell sy stem may
freeze and the vehicle may not be able to be started. ( P. 190)
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When towing the vehicle
■ While towing
● When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc., which
place excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing
eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, broken debris may hit
people, and cause serious damage.
● Do not turn the power switch off.
This may lead to an accident as the front wheels will be locked by the
parking lock.
■ Installing towing eyelets to the vehicle
Make sure that towing eyelets are installed securely.
If not securely installed, towing eyelets may come loose during towing.
Be sure to transport the vehicle with the
front wheels raised or with all four wheels
raised off the ground. If the vehicle is
towed with the front wheels contacting
the ground, the drivetrain and related
parts may be damaged or electricity gen-
erated by the operation of the motor may
cause a fire to occur depending on the
nature of the damage or malfunction.

If the tire is not punctured:
After turning the power switch t o off, turn it to ON mode again and make
sure the tire pressure warning light comes on or blinks.
The tire pressure warning light comes on
After the temperature of the tires have lowered sufficiently, c heck the
tire inflation pressure and ad just it to the specified level.
If the warning light does not go out even after several minutes , check
that the tire inflation pressu re is at the specified level.
If the warning light does not go out even after several minutes, have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
The tire pressure warning light is blinking for 1 minute, and t hen comes
on
Malfunction in the tire pressure warning system. Have the syste m
checked by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural caus es
The tire pressure warning light may come on due to natural caus es such
as natural air leaks and tire inflation pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure w ill turn off the
warning light (afte r a few minutes).

Handling method ( P. 4 2 3 )
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could
cause a loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
●Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust t he tire
inflation pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inf lation pres-
sure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire. Chec k the tires.
If a tire is flat, repair the fla t tire by using emergency tire puncture
repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires dete riorate,
you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.

WARNING
■Precautions for use of the sealant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possibl e, and then immediately consult a
doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persi sts, consult a doctor.
■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 immediate ly
after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area arou nd the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, f eet or
other body parts may result in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehi-
cle.
●If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may
occur or sealant may be sprayed out.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the proce dures are
not followed, the sealant may spray out.
●If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk
that the hose will mo ve abruptly due to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has completed, the sealant may spla tter when
the hose is disconnec ted or some air is let out of the tire.
●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. I f you
notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the comp ressor
switch and stop the repair operation immediately.
●The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of ti me. Do not
operate the repair kit continuous ly 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 met al part
connecting the bottle and the compressor. I t 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 ma y prevent
the SRS airbag from operating properly.

WARNING
■Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and ca use death
or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially caref ul when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull throu gh the
steering wheel, stop the vehi cle and check the following:
• Tire condition. The tire may have separated f rom the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130 kPa,
1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar) or less, this may i ndicate severe tire damage.
