Taking out the emergency tire puncture repair kit

1

Remove the luggage floor

cover.

2

Take out the emergency tire

puncture repair kit.

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.

8

• Do not remove the nail or screw

from the tire. Removing the

object may widen the opening

and prevent emergency 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.

To inject the sealant and inflate

the tire, turn the compressor

switch on.

Inflate the tire until the specified

15

air pressure is reached.

The sealant will be injected

2

display the actual tire infla-

tion pressure about 1 minute

(5 minutes at low tempera-

ture) after the switch is

turned on.

3

Inflate to specified air pres-

sure.

• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the specified point after

inflation for 35 minutes with the switch on, the tire is too damaged to

8

be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off and contact any autho-

rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and

equipped professional.

• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure, let out

some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. (P. 417, 448)

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 emergency tire puncture repair kit, the valve

should be replaced.

■ 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 that has passed its expiry date. You may be unable to

complete the repair using the emergency tire puncture repair kit.

WARNING

■ Caution while driving

● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment.

Otherwise, injuries may result in the event of sudden braking, sudden

swerving or an accident.

●The emergency tire puncture repair kit is made exclusively for your vehi-

cle. Do not use it on other vehicles, which could lead to an accident caus-

8

ing death or serious injury.

●Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit for tires that are a differ-

ent size than the specified ones or for any other purpose. Doing so may

cause the tires to not be repaired properly, which could lead to an accident

causing death or serious injury.

■ Precautions for use of the sealant

● Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,

consume as much water as possible, and then immediately consult a doc-

tor.

● If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with

water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.

WARNING

■ 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.

● 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.

●Connect the valve and hose securely with the tire installed on the vehicle.

● If the hose is not properly 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 completed, 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 fol-

lowed, the sealant may spray out.

● Keep back from the tire while it is being repaired, as there is a chance of it

bursting while the repair operation is being performed. If you notice any

cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop

the repair operation immediately.

●The repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not

operate the repair kit continuously for more than 40 minutes.

● Parts of the repair kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the

repair kit during and after operation. Do not touch the metal part around

the connecting area between the bottle and the compressor. 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 air

bag from operating properly.

WARNING

■ Driving to spread the liquid sealant evenly

Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.

Failure 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 turn-

ing and cornering.

● If the vehicle does not drive straight or you feel a pull through the steering

wheel, stop the vehicle and check the following:

• Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel.

• Tire inflation pressure. If 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 disenable 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 malfunction may

occur.

●Do not turn the bottle upside down when using it, as doing so may cause

damage to the compressor.

8

■ Handling 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.

● If gasoline splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate. Take

care not to allow gasoline to contact it.

● Place the repair kit in a storage to prevent it from being exposed to dirt or

water.

● Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment out of reach of children.

●Do not disassemble or modify the repair kit. Do not subject parts such as

the air pressure gauge to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
