14Inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected 
and the pressure will spike to 
between 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0 
kgf/cm
2 or bar) and 58 psi 
(400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar), 
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will 
display the actual tire inflation 
pressure about 1 to 5 min-
utes after the switch is turned 
on.
Turn the compressor switch off and 
then check the tire inflation pres-
sure. Being careful not to over 
inflate, check and repeat the infla-
tion procedure until the specified 
tire inflation pressure is reached.
The tire can be inflated for about 5 
to 20 minutes (depending on the 
outside temperature). If the tire 
inflation pressure is still lower than 
the specified point after inflation for 
25 minutes, the tire is too damaged  to be repaired. Turn the compres-
sor switch off and contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure exceeds 
the specified air pressure, let out 
some air to adjust the tire inflation 
pressure. (
P.492, 519)
15With the compressor switch 
off, disconnect the hose from 
the valve on the tire and then 
pull out the power plug from

Some sealant may leak when the 
hose is removed.
16Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency 
repaired tire.
17Attach the air release cap to  the end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not 
attached, the sealant may leak and 
the vehicle may get dirty.
18Temporarily store the bottle in the luggage compartment 
while it is connected to the 
compressor.
19To spread the liquid sealant  evenly within the tire, imme-
diately drive safely for about 
3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph 
(80 km/h).
