■ Charging Message Details
Depending on operation conditions, the details of a message shown on the
multi-information display and actual vehicle conditions may differ (for exam-
ple the previous condition may be shown). However, the following are not a
malfunction:
If “Charging Not Available Due to IG On turn IG Off to Charge” is shown on
the multi-information display, the message may still be displayed even after
the “POWER” switch is turned off once, the charging cable is reconnected
and the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode again. However, if the charg-
ing indicator lights are illuminated or flashing ( P. 63), charging has recom-
menced correctly.
If “Canceled” is shown on the multi-in formation display, pre-climate opera-
tions stopped partway through due to the system judging that 15 minutes of
pre-climate operations was unnecessary . For example, soon after pre-cli-
mate operations started, the cabin temperature reached the set temperature
and pre-climate operations were stopped early.
When pre-climate has completed operations normally, “Complete” is shown
on the multi-information display.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If you have a flat tire
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired temporarily using the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit. (The kit contains a bottle of sealant. The sealant
can be used only once to temporarily repair one tire without
removing the nail or screw from the tire.) Depending on the dam-
age, this kit cannot be used to repair the tire. (P. 450)
After temporarily repairing the tire with the kit, have the tire
repaired or replaced by your Toyota dealer. Repairs conducted
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit are only a temporary
measure. Have the tire repaired and replaced as soon as possi-
ble.
■ Before repairing the tire
●Stop the vehicle in a safe pl ace on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
