Before putting the sealant into use
Check the degree of the tire damage before making use of the seal-
ant in the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A tire should only to be repaired
if the damage is caused by a nail
or screw passing through the tire
tread. Perform the repair with the
nail or screw that has punctured
the tire positioned at the bottom,
in contact with the ground.
Emergency repair with the sealant in the kit is not possible in the fol-
lowing cases. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional.

618 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)Turn the switch “OFF” when the pressure gauge connected to
the hose reads the specified pressure.
If the inflation pressure is not attained within 5 minutes, emergency
repair is not possible due to severe damage. Contact any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
After completely filling the tire with air, disconnect the hose
from the valve on the tire.
Pull the power plug of the compressor out of the power outlet
on the vehicle.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly in the tire, immediately
drive for about 5 km (3 miles) or 10 minutes.
After driving about 5 km (3 miles)
or 10 minutes, pull your vehicle
over in a safe place and recon-
nect the compressor.

When trouble arises
L/C200_EE (OM60G38E)If the pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 18 psi) or above,
fill the tire with air using the com-
pressor until the specified infla-
tion pressure is reached.
If the pressure is less than 130
kPa (1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar, 18 psi),
the emergency repair that has
been performed is not safe for
use as damage to the tire is too
severe. Do not continue to drive
the vehicle. Contact any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Store the kit and then attach the
sticker as shown.
Taking precautions to avoid sud-
den braking and sharp turns,
drive carefully at under 80 km/h
(50 mph) to the nearest autho-
rized Toyota dealer, tire dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional for tire
repair or replacement.

Sealant
One tire can be repaired using two bottles 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 bottles 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 bottles 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. However, in the case of the valve, replace it with a new one.
