685 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
When trouble arises
AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will surge
and then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 minute (5
minutes at low temperature)
after the switch is turned on.
Inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure.
• If the tire inflation pressure
is still lower than the speci-
fied point after inflation for
35 minutes with the switch
on, the tire is too damaged
to be repaired. Turn the
compressor switch off and
contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the specified air
pressure, let out some air to
adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure. (P. 688)

When trouble arises
AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)After driving for about 5 km (3
miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and connect the compressor.
Check the tire inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or
bar, 19 psi): The puncture can-
not be repaired. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped profes-
sional.
If the tire inflation pressure is
130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
19 psi) or higher, but less than
the specified air pressure:

AVENSIS_OM_OM20B88E_(EE)Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the spec-
ified air pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 miles)
and then perform .
Store the compressor in the luggage compartment.
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50
mph) to the nearest authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional for tire repair
or replacement.
If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure (type B)
Check that the air pressure indicator shows the specified air pres-
sure.
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the com-
pressor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the
specified air pressure is reached.
The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit, the valve
should be replaced.
Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry
date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly.

Emergency tire puncture repair kit
The sealant stored in the emergency 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 replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. The compressor is reusable.
The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C
(-22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
The repair 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.
The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The bottle of sealant should be replaced with a new bottle before the
expiry date. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for replacement.
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. Immediately wipe
away the sealant with a wet cloth.
During operation of the repair kit, a loud operation noise is produced.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
Do not use to check or to adjust the tire pressure.
CAUTION
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 circumferential groove on the side wall. In
such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.

CAUTION
Caution while driving
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 serious injury.
Do 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 accident causing death or serious injury.
Precautions for use of the sealant
Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doc-
tor.
If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, 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 immediately after
the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts may result in burns.
To avoid risk of burst or severe leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle.
Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with shock,
crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case, immediately
replace.
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
If the hose is not properly connected to the valve, air leakage may occur
as 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.
