5228-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Stop the vehicle in a safe place
on a hard, flat surface.
 Set the parking brake.
 Shift the shift lever to P.
 Turn off the intrusion sensor and
tilt sensor (if equipped) ( P.79)
 Stop the hybrid system.
 Turn on the emergency flashers.
( P.500)
 For vehicles with power back
door: Turn off the power back
door system. ( P.211)
 Check the degree of the tire
damage.
A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair
kit if the damage is caused by a nail
or screw passing through the tire
tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw
from the tire. Removing the
object may widen the opening
and prevent emergency repair
with the repair kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move
the vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positioned
at the top of the tire.
If you have a flat tire
(vehicles without spare
tire)
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency
tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or
screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired tempo-
rarily using the emergency tire
puncture 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 damage con-
dition of the flat tire, it may not
be able to repaired with the
emergency tire puncture repair
kit. ( P.523)
After temporarily repairing the
tire with the kit, have the tire
repaired or replaced by any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
WARNING
QIf you have a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a
flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond repair, which could result in an accident.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a cir- cumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.

QNote for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasion- ally. 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 per-
formed properly.
QEmergency tire puncture repair kit
OThe emergency tire puncture repair kit
is for filling the car tire with air.
OThe sealant has a limited life span.
The expiry date is marked on the bot- tle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer for replacement.
OThe sealant stored in the emergency
tire puncture repair kit can be used only once to temporarily repair a sin-gle tire. If the sealant in the bottle and
other parts of the kit have been used and need to be replaced, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
OThe compressor can be used repeat-edly.
OThe sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C (-22°F) to 60°C (140°F).

OThe kit is exclusively designed for size
and type of tires originally installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a different size than the original ones,
or for any other purposes.
OIf the sealant gets on your clothes, it
may stain.
OIf the sealant adheres to a wheel or
the surface of the vehicle body, the stain may not be removable if it is not cleaned at once. Immediately wipe
away the sealant with a wet cloth.
ODuring operation of the repair kit, a
loud operation noise is produced. This does not indicate a malfunction.
ODo not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
1 Open the deck board.
( P.426).
2 Take out the emergency tire
puncture repair kit.
1 Take out the repair kit from the
plastic bag.
Attach the sticker enclosed with the bottle on the specified locations. (See step 10.)
WARNING
QDo not drive the vehicle with a
flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire. Driving even a short distance with a
flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond repair.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a cir-
cumferential groove on the side wall. In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
QCaution while driving
OStore the repair kit in the luggage
compartment. Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
OThe repair kit is exclusively only for your vehicle.
Do not use repair kit on other vehi- cles, which could lead to an acci-dent causing death or serious
injury.
ODo not use repair kit for tires that are different size than the original ones, or for any other purpose. If
the tires have not been completely repaired, it could lead to an acci-dent causing death or serious
injury.
QPrecautions for use of the seal-
ant
OIngesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possi- ble, and then immediately consult a doctor.
OIf sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.

2Pull out the hose and power
plug from the bottom side of the
compressor.
3 Connect the bottle to the com-
pressor.
Make sure to press the bottle until its claws are securely engaged to the
compressor and no longer visible.
4 Connect the hose to the bottle.
Make sure to insert the hose until its
claw is securely engaged to the bottle.
5 Remove the valve cap from the
valve of the punctured tire.
6 Extend the hose. Remove the
air release cap from the hose.
You will use the air release cap again.

Therefore keep it in a safe place.
7 Connect the hose to the valve.
Screw the end of the hose clockwise as
far as possible.
8 Make sure that the compressor
switch is off.
9 Connect the power plug to the
power outlet socket. ( P.430)
10 Attach the sticker provided with
the tire puncture repair kit to a
position easily seen from the
driver’s seat.
11 Check the specified tire inflation
pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified on the label on the driver’s side pillar as
shown. ( P.564)
12Start the hybrid system.
( P.273)

5288-2. Steps to take in an emergency
13To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
14 Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected and
the pressure will spike to
between 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2
or bar, 44 psi) and 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm2 or bar, 58 psi), then
gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will be
displayed the actual tire inflation
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 outside tem-
perature). 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 com-
pressor 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.530, 564)
15With the compressor switch off,
disconnect the hose from the
valve on the tire and then pull
out the power plug from the
power outlet socket.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
16 Install the valve cap onto the
valve of the emergency repaired
tire.
17 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
