CAUTION
After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their
storage location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision
or sudden braking.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with 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.
Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire
installed on the vehicle
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-
pared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over
uneven road surfaces.
Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving per-
formance.

If you have a flat tire (vehicles without a spare tire)
Your vehicle 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 with the emergency tire puncture repair
kit.
Before repairing the vehicle
Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
Set the parking brake.
Shift the lever to “N”.
Stop the engine.
Turn on the emergency flashers. (P. 416)

Before performing emergency repair
Check the degree of the tire damage.
A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire puncture
repair kit if the damage is caused
by a nail or screw passing
through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or
screw from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and disenable emer-
gency repair with the kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage,
move the vehicle until the area
of the puncture, if known, is
positioned at the top of the
tire.

pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is speci-
fied on the label in the glove box
as shown. (P. 509)
Start the engine.
To inject the sealant and inflate
the tire, turn the compressor
switch on.
Use the kit with the top facing

When trouble arises
URBAN CRUISER_EE (OM52C21E)Inflate the tire until the recom-
mended pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike to
300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm
2 or bar,
44 psi) or 400 kPa (4.0 kgf/
cm
2 or bar, 58 psi), then grad-
ually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 minute after
the switch is turned on.
• Turn the compressor switch
off and then check the tire
inflation pressure. Being care-
ful not to over inflate, check
and repeat the inflation proce-
dure until the recommended
tire inflation pressure is
reached.
• If the needle of the air pres-
sure gauge reaches the red
zone (450 kPa [4.5 kgf/cm
2 or
bar, 65 psi] or more), there
may be a malfunction in the
tire or in the kit itself. Stop
operation immediately.

• If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the recom-
mended level after inflation for
10 minutes with the switch on,
the tire is too damaged to be
repaired. Turn the compressor
switch off and contact any
authorized Toyota dealer, tire
dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped
professional.
• If the tire inflation pressure
exceeds the recommended
level, let out some air to adjust
the tire inflation pressure.
(P. 464)
Disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire and then pull
out the power plug from the cigarette lighter socket.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately
drive for about 5 km (3 miles).
After driving for about 5 km (3
miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and reconnect the compressor.STEP12
