warning TOYOTA 86 2023 Owners Manual

3567-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
As an added safety feature, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
tire pressure m onitoring system
(TPMS-tire pressure warning sys-
tem) that illuminates a low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light) when one or more
of your tires is significantly
under-inflated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on a signifi-
cantly under-inflated tire causes
the tire to overheat and can lead
to tire failure. Under-inflation also
reduces fuel efficiency and tire
tread life, and may affect the vehi-
cle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire
pressure warning system) is not a
substitute for pro per tire mainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s
responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if under-infla-
tion has not reach ed the level to
trigger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure telltale (tire pres-
sure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been
equipped with a TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunc-
tion indicator to indicate when the
system is not operating properly.
The TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pres-
sure telltale (tire pressure warning
light). When the system detects a
malfunction, the te lltale will flash
for approximately one minute and
then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will con-
tinue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunc-
tion exists. When the malfunction
indicator is illuminated, the sys-
tem may not be ab le to detect or
signal low tire pressure as
intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning sys-
tem) malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on the
vehicle that prevent the TPMS
(tire pressure warning system)
from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS (tire pressure
warning system) malfunction tell-
tale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow
the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) to continue to function
properly.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure
warning system operates
properly
Do not install tires with different
specifications or makers, as the
tire pressure warning system may
not operate properly.

3587-2. 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 (auto-
matic transmission) or R
(manual transmission).
 Stop the engine.
 Turn on the emergency flash-
ers. ( P.338)
 Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit if the damage is
caused by a nail or screw pass-
ing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and disenable emer-
gency repair with the kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the
area of the puncture, if
known, is positioned at the
top of the tire.
■A flat tire that cannot be
repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit
In the following cases, the tire can-
not be repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit. Contact your
Toyota dealer.
●When the tire is damaged due to
driving without sufficient air pres-
sure
●When the tire lost air pressure due
to a crack or damage in the tire
sidewall
●When the tire is visibly separated
from the wheel
●When the cut or damage to the
tread is 0.16 in. (4 mm) long or
If you have a flat tire
Your vehicle is not equipped
with a spare tire, but instead
is equipped with an emer-
gency tire puncture repair
kit.
A puncture caused by a nail
or screw passing through
the tire tread can be
repaired temporarily with
the emergency tire puncture
repair kit.
WARNING
■If 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. 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 the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit,
resulting in death or serious injury.
Before repairing the vehi-

When trouble arises
gency tire puncture repair kit can
be used only once to temporarily
repair a single tire. If the sealant
has been used and needs to be
purchased, contact your Toyota
dealer. The compressor is reus-
able.
●The sealant can be used when the
outside temperature is from -22°F
(-30°C) to 140°F (60°C).
●The 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.
●If the sealant gets on your clothes,
it may stain.
●If 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. Immedi-
ately wipe away the sealant with a
wet cloth.
●During operation of the kit, a loud
operation noise is produced. This
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Do not use the emergency tire
puncture repair kit to check or to
adjust the tire pressure.
●In extremely low temperatures
-22°F to -4°F (-30°C to -20°C), the
viscosity of the sealant increases
and the sealant will flow more
slowly. In such temperatures,
bring the sealant into the vehicle
to warm it up before use.
■Note for checking the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occa-
sionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bot-
tle. Do not use sealant whose expiry
date has already passed. Other-
wise, repairs conducted using the
emergency tire puncture repair kit
may not be performed properly.
WARNING
■Caution while driving
●Store the repair kit in the trunk.
Injuries may result in the event
of an accident or sudden brak-
ing.
●The repair kit is exclusively only
for your vehicle.
Do not use repair kit on other
vehicles, which could lead to an
accident causing death or seri-
ous injury.
●Do not use repair kit for tires
that are differen t size than the
original ones, or for any other
purpose. If the tires have not
been completely repaired, it
could lead to an accident caus-
ing death or serious injury.
■Precautions for use of the
sealant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazard-
ous to your health. If you ingest
sealant, consume as much
water as possible, then immedi-
ately consult a doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or
adheres to skin, immediately
wash it off with water. If discom-
fort persists, consult a doctor.
●If a person who is allergic to nat-
ural rubber comes in contact the
sealant, allergy symptoms may
occur.

When trouble arises
cle over in a safe place and
reconnect the compressor.
17 Turn the compressor switch
on and wait for several sec-
onds, then turn it off. Check
the tire inflation pressure.
18 If the air pressure is in red
zone of the air gauge, the kit
did not successfully seal the
puncture. In this case, please
stop driving and contact your
Toyota dealer.
19 Taking precautions to avoid
sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 50
mph (80 km/h) to the nearest
Toyota dealer that is less
than 124 miles (200 km)
away for tire repair or
replacement.
■After a tire is re
paired with the
emergency tire puncture repair
kit
●The tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter should be
replaced.
●Even if the tire inflation pressure is
at the recommended level, the tire
pressure warning light may come
on/flash.
WARNING
■Do 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 cas e, the tire may
explode when using a repair kit.
■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 immedi-
ately after the vehicle has been
driven.
After the vehicle has been
driven, the whee ls and the area
around the brakes may be
extremely hot. Touching these
areas with hands, feet or other
body parts may result in burns.

3667-2. Steps to take in an emergency
WARNING
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with the tire installed
on the vehicle.
●If the hose is not properly con-
nected to the valve, air leakage
may occur or 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 dis-
connected or some air is let out
of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure
to repair the tire. If the proce-
dure is not followed, 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 per-
formed. If you notice any cracks
or deformation of the tire, turn
off the compressor switch and
stop the repair operation imme-
diately.
●The kit may overheat if operated
for a long period of time. Do not
operate the compressor contin-
uously for more than 10 min-
utes.
●Parts of the kit become hot
during operation. Be careful
handling the kit during and after
operation. Do not touch the
metal part around the connect-
ing area between the bottle and
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
airbag from operating properly.
■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 turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive
straight or you feel a pull
through the steering wheel, stop
the vehicle and check the tire.
The tire may have separated
from the wheel.
NOTICE
■When performing an emer-
gency repair
●Perform the emergency repair
without removing the nail or
screw that has punctured the
tread of the tire. If the object
that has punctur ed the tire is
removed, repair by the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit
may not be possible.
●The kit is not waterproof. Make
sure that the ki t is not exposed
to water, such as when it is
being used in the rain.
●Do not put the kit directly onto
dusty ground such as sand at
the side of the road. If the kit
vacuums up dust etc., a mal-
function may occur.

its side.
■Handling the emergency tire
puncture repair kit
●The compressor power source
should be 12 V DC suitable for
vehicle use. Do not connect the
compressor to any other
source.
●If gasoline splatters on the kit,
the kit may deteriorate. Take
care not to allo w gasoline to
contact it.
●Store the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit in the trunk. The
kit may be thrown around during
sudden braking and so forth,
damaging the kit.
Place the repair kit in a storage to
prevent it from b eing exposed to
dirt or water.
●Store the kit in its assigned
place out of reach of children.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the kit. Do not subject parts
such as the air pressure indica-
tor to impacts. This may cause a
malfunction.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. After
use of liquid sealant, make sure to
replace the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter when repair-
ing or replacing the tire. (
P.316)

battery discharged, be especially
careful when reconnecting the
battery.
WARNING
■When removing the battery
terminals
Always remove the negative (-)
terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-
minal contacts any metal in the
surrounding area when the posi-
tive (+) terminal is removed, a
spark may occur, l eading to a fire
in addition to electrical shocks
and death or serious injury.
■Avoiding battery fires or
explosions
Observe the following precautions
to prevent accidentally igniting the
flammable gas that may be emit-
ted from the battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct termi-
nal and that it is not unintention-
ally in contact with any other
than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps
of the jumper cables to come
into contact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches,
cigarette lighters or allow open
flame near the battery.

and corrosive acid ic electrolyte,
while related parts contain lead
and lead compounds. Observe
the following precautions when
handling the battery:
●When working with the battery,
always wear safety glasses and
take care not to allow any bat-
tery fluids (acid) to come into
contact with skin, clothing or the
vehicle body.
●Do not lean over the battery.
●In the event that battery fluid
comes into contact with the skin
or eyes, immediately wash the
affected area with water and
seek medical attention. Place a
wet sponge or cloth over the
affected area until medical
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after
handling the battery support,
terminals, and other bat-
tery-related parts.
●Do not allow children near the
