Sealant
One tire can be repaired using the bottle 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 bottle 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 bottle 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.

CAUTION
Precaution for children
Keep the emergency tire puncture repair kit out of the reach of children and
store it properly.
Sealant precautions
The sealant in the emergency tire puncture repair kit is not for human con-
sumption.
If the sealant is consumed inadvertently, drink a large quantity of water
and get medical attention immediately.
If sealant gets in your eyes or on your skin, thoroughly wash with a large
quantity of water. If necessary, get medical attention.
When fixing the flat tire
Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
If force is used to turn the valve core tool while air remains in the tire, spe-
cial care should be taken because the valve core could fly out.
Be careful, as sealant may fly out if you shake the bottle with the hose
installed.
If the hose is not securely installed, sealant may leak out when filling.
Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.
Be careful handling the compressor, as parts of the compressor get hot
during operation. Some parts of the compressor may remain hot after use.
Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly
Drive your vehicle with due care. Be especially careful when turning and cor-
nering.

NOTICE
Vehicles 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.
When performing an emergency repair
Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is
removed, the repair using the sealant in the emergency tire puncture repair
kit may fail.
When fixing the flat tire
Do not put the valve core on dirty ground or in the sand.
Store it in a clean place.
Do not remove the inside cap of the sealant bottle.
Turn the valve core tool with your hand when screwing it in. If you use
another tool in conjunction with the valve core tool, damage may occur.
Do not operate the compressor continuously for more than 7 minutes. The
motor may overheat and be damaged. Let the compressor cool before
using it again.
Compressor precautions
The compressor power source should be 12V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the compressor to 24V DC or any other power source.
The compressor is an oil-less type. Do not lubricate with oil.
