position easily seen from the
driver’s seat.
Check the specified tire inflation pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is specified on the label on the driver’s side pillar as
shown. ( P. 704)

When trouble arises
Inflate the tire until the specified air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
between 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm2
or bar, 44 psi) and 400 kPa
(4.0 kgf/cm2 or bar, 58 psi),
then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 to 5
minutes after the switch is
turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch
off and then check the tire
inflation pressure. Being
careful not to over inflate,
check and repeat the inflation
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 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 pressure. ( P. 670, 704)
With the compressor switch off, disconnect the hose from the valve
on the tire and then pull out the power plug from the power outlet
socket.
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired tire.

Attach 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.
Temporarily store the bottle in the luggage compartment while it is
connected to the compressor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive
safely for about 5 km (3 miles) below 80 km/h (50 mph).
After driving, stop your vehicle
in a safe place on a hard, flat
surface and reconnect the
repair kit.
Remove the air release cap from
the hose before reconnecting the
hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then
turn it off. Check the tire inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2
or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
If the tire inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi)
or higher, but less than the specified air pressure: Proceed to
step .
If the tire inflation pressure is the specified air pressure ( P. 704):
Proceed to step .

When trouble arises
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached. Drive for about 5 km (3 miles) and then
perform step .
Attach 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.
Store the bottle in the luggage compartment while it is connected to
the compressor.
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 80 km/h (50 mph) to the
nearest authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional that is less than 100 km (62 miles)
away for tire repair or replacement.
When having the tire repaired or replaced, make sure to tell any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or anot her duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional that the sealant is injected.

■When repairing a puncture
■ If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the
hose and then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, and then turn
it off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the specified air pressure.
( P. 704)
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the specified air
pressure is reached.
You may not be able to fill the tire with
sealant or air if there is a gap between the
wheel rim and tire. In this situation, raise
the vehicle body with a jack ( P. 598) to
allow the tire to hang. This allows the
wheel rim and tire to contact each other
so that you can fill the tire with sealant
and air.
Install the air release cap to the end of
the hose and push the protrusion on the
air release cap into the tire valve to let
some air out.
