When trouble arises
To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
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 infla-
tion pressure about 1 minute
(5 minutes at low tempera-
ture) after the switch is
turned on.
Inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure is reached.• 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 profes-
sional.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure,
let out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( →P. 571)14

ified 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.
