5548-2. Steps to take in an emergency
AVENSIS_OM_OM20C79E_(EE)
If you have a flat tire (vehicles with emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit)
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 temporarily 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, this kit cannot be used to repair the tire. ( P. 555)
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. Repairs conducted
using the emergency tire puncture repair kit are only a tempo-
rary measure. Have the tire repaired and replaced as soon as
possible.
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, which could result in an accident.
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.

When trouble arises
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift lever to P (Multidrive) or N (manual transmission).
● Stop the engine.
● Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 518)
● Check the degree of the tire
damage.
• Do not remove the nail or
screw from the tire. Remov-
ing the object may widen the
opening and disenable emer-
gency 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.
■ A flat tire that cannot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit
In the following cases, the tire c annot be repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
● When there are any cracks or damage at any location on the tire, such as on
the side wall, except the tread
● When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
● When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
● When the wheel is damaged
● When two or more tires have been punctured
● When 2 or more sharp objects such as nails or screws have passed through
the tread on a single tire
● When the sealant has expired
