Before performing emergency repair
Check the degree of the tire
damage.
• Do not remove the nail or
screw from the tire. Removing
the object may widen the
opening and prevent emer-
gency repair with the repair kit.
• To avoid sealant leakage,
move the vehicle until the area
of the puncture, if known, is
positioned at the top of the
tire.
In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency
tire puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
When there are any cracks or damage at any location on the tire, such as
on the side wall, except the tread
When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
When the wheel is damaged
When two or more tires have been punctured
When 2 or more sharp objects such as nails or screws have passed
through the tread on a single tire
When the sealant has expired

pressor.
As shown in the illustration, insert
the bottle vertically into the com-
pressor to connect making sure
that the claw on the bottle's neck
is hooked onto the cutout of the
compressor case.
Check the specified tire inflation
pressure.
Tire inflation pressure is speci-
fied on the label in the glove box.
(P. 531)

VERSO-S_EEInflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will surge
and then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire inflation
pressure about 1 minute (5
minutes at low temperature)
after the switch is turned on.
Inflate the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure.
• 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.
• If the tire inflation pressure is
still lower than the specified
point after inflation for 35 min-
utes with the switch on, 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 pres-
sure, let out some air to adjust
the tire inflation pressure.

When trouble arises
VERSO-S_EEWith 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 for about 5 km (3
miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat surface
and remove the air release cap
from the hose before reconnect-
ing the repair kit.

not be repaired. Contact any
authorized Toyota dealer or

fied and equipped profes-
sional.
