Connect the bottle to the com-
pressor.
As shown in the illustration, insert
the bottle securely into the com-
pressor until the upper side of the
mark on the bottle is aligned with
the upper end of the notch.
Attach the sticker provided with
the tire puncture repair kit to a
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. 7 2 3 )

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 spike to
between 44 psi (300 kPa,
3.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar) and
58 psi (400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2
or bar), 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 t ire 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 your Toyota dealer.
• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air press ure, let
out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. ( P. 689, 723)

When trouble arises
With the compressor switch off, disconnect the hose from the valve
on the tire and then pull out the power plug from the power out let
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 i t is
connected to the compressor.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediatel y drive
safely for about 3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph (80 km/h).
After driving, s top 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 t ire inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 19 psi (130 kPa,
1.3 kgf/cm
2 or bar): The
puncture cannot be repaired.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure is
19 psi (130 kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm
2
or bar) or higher, but less
than the specified air pres-
sure: Proceed to step .
If the tire inflation pressure is the specified air pressure ( P. 723):
Proceed to step .
Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the spe cified
air pressure is reached. Drive for about 3 miles (5 km) 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 connect ed to
the compressor.
Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration
and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 50 mph (80 km/h) to the
nearest Toyota dealer that is less than 62 miles (100 km) away fo r
tire repair or replacement.
When having the tire repaired or replaced, make sure to tell th e Toyota
dealer that the sealant is injected.

When trouble arises
■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
Disconnect the hose from the valve.
Disconnect the hose from the valv e, 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 sp ecified air
pressure. ( P. 723)
If the air pressure is under the designated pressure, turn the compres-
sor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until th e speci-
fied air pressure is reached.
■The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repai r kit, the
valve should be replaced.
■After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repai r kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire
pressure warning light may come on/flash.
■Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasionally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whos e expiry
date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs conducted using the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit may not be performed properly. 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.

Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is for filling the car t
ire with air.
●The sealant has a limited life span. The expiry date is marked on the
bottle. The sealant should be repl aced before the expiry date. Contact
your Toyota dealer for replacement.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit ca n be used
only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant i n the bottle
and other parts of t he kit have been used a nd need to be replaced, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
●The compressor can be used repeatedly.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -4 0°F
(-40°C) to 140°F (60°C).
●The kit is exclusively designed for size and type of tires orig inally
installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that a diffe rent size than
the original ones, or for any other purposes.
●If the sealant gets on yo ur 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. Immedi ately 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 che ck or to adjust the tire pressure.
