■Note for checking the emergency
tire puncture repair kit
Check the sealant expiry date occasion- ally.
The expiry date is shown on the bottle. Do not use sealant whose expiry date has already passed. Otherwise, repairs
conducted using the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be per-formed properly.
■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is for filling the car tire with air.
●The sealant has a limited life span. The expiry date is marked on the bot-
tle. The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for replacement.
●The sealant stored in the emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used only once to temporarily repair a sin-
gle tire. If the sealant has been used and needs to be replaced, purchase a new bottle at any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. The compres-sor is reusable.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -30°C (-
22°F) to 60°C (140°F).
●The kit is exclusively designed for size
and type of tires originally installed on yo u r ve hi cl e . Do n ot u se it f o r ti r e s t ha t a different size than the original ones,
or for any other purposes.
●If the sealant gets on your 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. Immediately 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 check or to adjust the
tire pressure.
WARNING
■Caution while driving
●Store the repair kit in the luggage
compartment. Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
●The repair kit is exclusively only for your vehicle.
Do not use repair kit on other vehi- cles, which could lead to an acci-dent causing death or serious
injury.
●Do not use repair kit for tires that
are different size than the original ones, or for any other purpose. If the tires have not been completely
repaired, it could lead to an acci- dent causing death or serious injury.
■Precautions for use of the seal-ant
●Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant, consume as much water as possi-
ble, and then immediately consult a doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with water. If discomfort persists, consult
a doctor.

21Temporarily store the bottle and
compressor in the luggage com-
partment.
22 To spread the liquid sealant
evenly within the tire, immedi-
ately drive safely for about 5 km
(3 miles) below 80 km/h (50
mph).
23 After driving for about 5 km (3
miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat sur-
face and connect the compres-
sor.
24 Check the tire inflation pressure.
If the tire inflation pressure is
under 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm2 or
bar, 19 psi): The puncture can-
not be repaired. Contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.
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 25.
If the tire inflation pressure is the
specified air pressure ( P.490):
Proceed to step 26.
25 Turn the compressor switch to
(on) to inflate the tire until
the specified air pressure is
reached. Drive for about 5 km (3
miles) and then perform step
24 .
26 Store the bottle in the luggage
compartment while it is con-
nected to the compressor.
27 Taking precautions to avoid sud-
den braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turns, drive
carefully at under 80 km/h (50
mph) to the nearest any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer for tire repair or
replacement.
28 For repair and replacement of a
tire or disposal of the tire punc-
ture repair kit, contact any

replaced, make sure to tell any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho- rized repairer, or any reliable repairer that the sealant is injected.
■If the tire is inflated to more than the specified air pressure
1 Press the button to let some air out.
2 Check that the air pressure indicator
shows the specified air pressure. If
the air pressure is under the desig-
nated pressure, turn the compres-
sor switch (on) again and repeat
the inflation procedure until the
specified air pressure is reached.
■The valve of a tire that has been repaired
After a tire is repaired with the emer-
gency tire puncture repair kit, the valve should be replaced.
■After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pres-
sure warning light may come on/flash.
WARNING
■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.
Driving with a flat tire may cause a cir- cumferential groove on the side wall.
In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
■When fixing the flat tire
●Stop your vehicle in a safe and flat area.
●Do not touch the wheels or the area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven. After the vehicle has been driven, the wheels and the area around the
brakes may be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts may result
in burns.
●Connect the valve and hose
securely with the tire installed on the vehicle. If the hose is not prop-erly connected to the valve, air
leakage may occur as sealant may be sprayed out.
●If the hose comes off the valve while inflating the tire, there is a risk that the hose will move abruptly due
to air pressure.
●After inflation of the tire has com-
pleted, the sealant may splatter when the hose is disconnected or some air is let out of the tire.
●Follow the operation procedure to repair the tire. If the procedures not
followed, the sealant may spray out.

WARNING
●Keep back from the tire while it is
being repaired, as there is a chance
of it bursting while the repair opera-
tion is being performed. If you
notice any cracks or deformation of
the tire, turn (off) the compres-
sor switch and stop the repair oper-
ation immediately.
●The repair kit may overheat if oper- ated for a long period of time. Do
not operate the repair kit continu- ously for more than 40 minutes.
●Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful when handling the repair kit during and
after operation. Do not touch the metal part around the connecting area between the bottle and com-
pressor. It will be extremely hot.
●Do not attach the vehicle speed
warning sticker to an area other than the one indicated. If the sticker is attached to an area where an
SRS airbag is located, such as the pad of the steering wheel, it may prevent the SRS airbag from oper-
ating properly.
●To avoid risk of burst or severe
leakage, do not drop or damage the bottle. Visually inspect the bottle before use. Do not use a bottle with
shock, crack, scratch, leakage or any other damage. In such case, immediately replace.
■Driving to spread the liquid seal-
ant evenly
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failing to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or serious injury.
●Drive the vehicle carefully at a low speed. Be especially careful when
turning and cornering.
●If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steer-ing wheel, stop the vehicle and
check the following.
• Tire condition. The tire may have
separated from the wheel.
• Tire inflation pressure. If the tire
inflation pressure is 130 kPa (1.3
kgf/cm2 or bar, 19 psi) or less, the tire may be severely damaged.
NOTICE
■When performing an emergency repair
●A tire should only be repaired with
the emergency tire puncture repair kit if the damage is caused by a sharp object such as nail or screw
passing through the tire tread. Do not remove the sharp object from the tire. Removing the object
may widen the opening and disena- ble emergency repair with the repair kit.
●The repair kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the repair kit is not
exposed to water, such as when it is being used in the rain.
●Do not put the repair kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the road. If the repair kit
vacuums up dust etc., a malfunc- tion may occur.
●Do not turn the bottle upside down when using it, as doing so may cause damage to the compressor.
■Precautions for the emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The repair kit power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use. Do not connect the repair kit to any
other source.
