NOTICE
Cleaning detergents
Do not use organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, acidic or
alkaline solutions, dye, bleach or other detergent. Doing so may discolor
the vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces.
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel's or other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or that contain wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components under the floor of the vehicle, and
may also cause the body to rust.
Cleaning the inside of the rear window
Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause
damage to the rear window defogger heater wires. Use a cloth dampened
with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in
strokes running parallel to the heater wires.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires.

Sealant
One tire can be repaired using the bottle of sealant stored in the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C
(-22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
If the sealant gets on your clothes, it may stain.
After using the sealant, bring the empty bottle of sealant to any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional and purchase a new bottle. Keep the new bottle of sealant in
your vehicle.
Compressor
The compressor is a pneumatic filling type for passenger vehicles.
When the compressor is operating, a loud operating noise will be pro-
duced.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
The wheel of a tire that has been repaired
If you remove the sealant adhering to the wheel with a rag, you can reuse
the wheel.

CAUTION
Precaution for children
Keep emergency tire puncture repair kit out of the reach of children and
store it properly.
Sealant precautions
The sealant in the emergency tire puncture repair kit is not for human con-
sumption.
If the sealant is consumed inadvertently, drink a large quantity of water
and get medical attention immediately.
If sealant gets in your eyes or on your skin, thoroughly wash with a large
quantity of water. If necessary, get medical attention.
When fixing the flat tire
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
If force is used to turn the valve core tool while air remains in the tire, spe-
cial care should be taken because the valve core could fly out.
Be careful, as sealant may fly out if you shake the bottle with the hose
installed.
If the hose is not securely installed, sealant may leak out when filling.
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
Be careful handling the compressor, as parts of the compressor get hot
during operation. Some parts of the compressor may remain hot after use.
Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Drive your vehicle with due care. Be especially careful when turning and cor-
nering.
