may not be performed 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 bottle. The sealant should 

be replaced before the expiry 

date. Contact your Toyota dealer 

for replacement.

●

The sealant stored in the emer-

gency tire puncture repair kit can 

be used only once to temporarily 

repair a single tire. If the sealant in 

the bottle and other parts of the kit 

have been used and need to be 

replaced, contact your Toyota 

dealer.

●

The compressor can be used 

repeatedly.

●

The sealant can be used when the 

outside temperature is from -40°F 

(-40°C) to 140°F (60°C).

●

The kit is exclusively designed for 

size and type of tires originally 

installed on your vehicle. Do not 

use it for tires that 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. Immedi-

ately wipe away the sealant with a 

wet cloth.

●

During operation of the repair kit, 

a loud operation noise is pro-

duced. 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 trunk.

Injuries may result in the event 

of an accident or sudden brak-

ing.

●

The repair kit is exclusively only 

for your vehicle.

Do not use repair kit on other 

vehicles, which could lead to an 

accident causing death or seri-

ous 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 accident caus-

ing death or serious injury.

■

Precautions for use of the 

sealant

●

Ingesting the sealant is hazard-

ous to your health. If you ingest 

sealant, consume as much 

water as possible, and then 

immediately consult a doctor.

●

If sealant gets in eyes or 

adheres to skin, immediately 

wash it off with water. If discom-

fort persists, consult a doctor.

The air pressure gauge will 
display the actual tire inflation 
pressure about 1 to 5 min-
utes after the switch is turned 
on.

Turn the compressor switch off and 

then check the tire inflation pres-

sure. Being careful not to over 

inflate, check and repeat the infla-

tion procedure until the specified 

tire inflation pressure is reached.
The tire can be inflated for about 5 

to 20 minutes (depending on the 

outside temperature). If the tire 

inflation pressure is still lower than

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 

circumferential 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 immedi-

ately 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 

properly connected to the valve, 

air leakage may occur as seal-

ant 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 dis-

connected or some air is let out 

of the tire.

●

Follow the operation procedure 

to repair the tire. If the proce-

dures not followed, 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 per-

formed. If you notice any cracks 

or deformation of the tire, turn 

off the compressor switch and 

stop the repair operation imme-

diately.

●

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 connecting 

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 

airbag from operating properly.

■

Driving to spread the liquid 

sealant 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 steering wheel, stop 

the vehicle and check the fol-

lowing.

• Tire condition. The tire may 

have separated from the wheel.

NOTICE

■

When performing an emer-

gency repair

●

A tire should only be repaired 

with the emergency tire punc-

ture 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.

■

Precautions for the emer-

gency 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 fuel splatters on the repair kit, 

the repair kit may deteriorate. 

Take care not to allow fuel 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 trunk 

out of reach of children.

●

Do not disassemble or modify 

the repair kit. Do not subject 

parts such as the air pressure 

indicator to impacts. This may 

cause a malfunction.

■

To avoid damage to the tire 

pressure warning valves and 

transmitters (vehicles with a 

tire pressure warning system)

When a tire is repaired with liquid 

sealants, the tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter may not 

operate properly. If a liquid seal-

ant is used, contact your Toyota 

dealer or other qualified service 

shop as soon as possible. After 

use of liquid sealant, make sure to 

replace the tire pressure warning 

valve and transmitter when repair-

ing or replacing the tire. (

The compact spare tire is identi-

fied by the label “TEMPORARY 

USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall. 

Use the compact spare tire tempo-

rarily, and only in an emergency.

●

Make sure to check the tire infla-

tion pressure of the compact 

spare tire. (

P.564)

■

When the compact spare tire is 

equipped

The vehicle becomes lower when 

driving with the compact spare tire 

compared to when driving with stan-

dard tires.

■

After completing the tire 

change (vehicles with a tire 

pressure warning system)

The tire pressure warning system 

must be reset. (



P.481)

■

When using the compact spare 

tire (vehicles with a tire pres-

sure warning system)

As the compact spare tire is not 

equipped with a tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter, low infla-

tion pressure of the spare tire will 

not be indicated by the tire pressure 

warning system. Also, if you replace 

the compact spare tire after the tire 

pressure warning light comes on, 

the light remains on.

■

If you have a flat front tire on a 

road covered with snow or ice

Install the compact spare tire on one 

of the rear wheels of the vehicle. 

Perform the following steps and fit 

tire chains to the front tires:

1

Replace a rear tire with the com-

pact spare tire.

2

Replace the flat front tire with the 

tire removed from the rear of the 

vehicle.

3

Fit tire chains to the front tires.

system: Open and close any 
of the doors of your vehicle 
with the engine switch OFF.

6

Maintain the engine speed of 
the second vehicle and start 
the engine of your vehicle by 
turning the engine switch to 
ON.

7

Once the vehicle’s engine 
has started, remove the 
jumper cables in the exact 

reverse order from which 
they were connected.

Once the engine starts, have the 
vehicle inspected at your Toyota 
dealer as soon as possible.

■

Starting the engine when the 

battery is discharged

The engine cannot be started by 

push-starting.

■

To prevent battery discharge

●

Turn off the headlights and the 

audio system while the engine is 

off.

●

Turn off any unnecessary electri-

cal components when the vehicle 

is running at a low speed for an

■

When removing the battery ter-

minals

When the battery terminals are 

removed, the information stored in 

the ECU is cleared. Before remov-

ing the battery terminals, contact 

your Toyota dealer.

■

Charging the battery

The electricity stored in the battery 

will discharge gradually even when 

the vehicle is not in use, due to nat-

ural discharge and the draining 

effects of certain electrical appli-

ances. If the vehicle is left for a long 

time, the battery may discharge, 

and the engine may be unable to 

start. (The battery recharges auto-

matically during driving.)

■

When recharging or replacing 

the battery (vehicles with a 

smart key system)

●

In some cases, it may not be pos-

sible to unlock the doors using the 

smart key system when the bat-

tery is discharged. Use the wire-

less remote control or the 

mechanical key to lock or unlock 

the doors.

●

The engine may not start on the 

first attempt after the battery has 

recharged but will start normally 

after the second attempt. This is 

not a malfunction.

●

The engine switch mode is memo-

rized by the vehicle. When the 

battery is reconnected, the system 

will return to the mode it was in 

before the battery was dis-

charged. Before disconnecting the 

battery, turn the engine switch off.

If you are unsure what mode the 

engine switch was in before the 

battery discharged, be especially 

careful when reconnecting the 

battery.

■

When replacing the battery

●

Use a battery that conforms to 

European regulations.

●

Use a battery with the same case 

size as the previous battery and 

an equivalent 20 hour rate capac-

ity (20HR) or greater.

• If the sizes differ, the battery can-

not be properly secured.

• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, 

even if the time period where the 

vehicle is not used is a short time, 

the battery may discharge and the 

engine may not be able to start.

●

For details, consult your Toyota 

dealer.

WARNING

■

When removing the battery 

terminals

Always remove the negative (-) 

terminal first. If the positive (+) ter-

minal contacts any metal in the 

surrounding area when the posi-

tive (+) terminal is removed, a 

spark may occur, leading to a fire 

in addition to electrical shocks 

and death or serious injury.

■

Avoiding battery fires or 

explosions

Observe the following precautions 

to prevent accidentally igniting the 

flammable gas that may be emit-

ted from the battery:

●

Make sure each jumper cable is 

connected to the correct termi-

nal and that it is not unintention-

ally in contact with any other 

than the intended terminal.

●

Do not allow the other end of 

the jumper cable connected to 

the “+” terminal to come into 

contact with any other parts or 

metal surfaces in the area, such 

as brackets or unpainted metal.

NOTICE

■

When adding engine coolant

Add coolant slowly after the 

engine has cooled down suffi-

ciently. Adding cool coolant to a 

hot engine too quickly can cause 

damage to the engine.

■

To prevent damage to the 

cooling system

Observe the following precau-

tions:

●

Avoid contaminating the coolant 

with foreign matter (such as 

sand or dust etc.).

●

Do not use any coolant additive.

COROLLA_U

1

Stop the engine. Set the 
parking brake and shift the 
shift lever to P (continuously 
variable transmission) or N 
(manual transmission).

2

Remove the mud, snow or 
sand from around the front 
wheels.

3

Place wood, stones or some 
other material under the front 
wheels to help provide trac-
tion.

4

Restart the engine.

5

Shift the shift lever to D or R 
(continuously variable trans-
mission) or 1 or R (manual 
transmission) and release 
the parking brake. Then, 
while exercising caution, 
depress the accelerator 
pedal.

■

When it is difficult to free the 

vehicle

Press the 

 switch to turn off 

TRAC.

If the vehicle becomes 

stuck

Carry out the following pro-
cedures if the tires spin or 
the vehicle becomes stuck 
in mud, dirt or snow:

Recovering procedure

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a 

stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle 

back and forth to free it, make 

sure the surrounding area is clear 

to avoid striking other vehicles, 

objects or people. The vehicle 

may also lunge forward or lunge 

back suddenly as it becomes free. 

Use extreme caution.

■

When shifting the shift lever 

(vehicles with a continuously 

variable transmission)

Be careful not to shift the shift 

lever with the accelerator pedal 

depressed.

This may lead to unexpected 

rapid acceleration of the vehicle 

that may cause an accident 

resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

To avoid damaging the trans-

mission and other compo-

nents

●

Avoid spinning the front wheels 

and depressing the accelerator 

pedal more than necessary.

●

If the vehicle remains stuck 

even after these procedures are 

performed, the vehicle may 

require towing to be freed.

Outside temperature

SAE 0W-20 is the best choice 
for good fuel economy and good 
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available, 
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used. 
However, it must be replaced 
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil 
change.
Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained 
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 indicates 

the characteristic of the oil 
which allows cold startability. 
Oils with a lower value before 
the W allow for easier starting 
of the engine in cold weather.

• The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the 

viscosity characteristic of the 
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature. An oil with a higher 
viscosity (one with a higher 
value) may be better suited if 
the vehicle is operated at high 
speeds, or under extreme 
load conditions.

How to read oil container label:

■

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability prob-

lems may be caused by the brand of 

gasoline you are using. If driveability 

problems persist, try changing the 

brand of gasoline. If this does not 

correct the problem, consult your 

Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of the use of 

gasoline containing detergent 

additives

●

Toyota recommends the use of 

gasoline that contains detergent 

additives to avoid the build-up of 

engine deposits.

●

All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. con-

tains minimum detergent additives 

to clean and/or keep clean intake 

systems, per EPA’s lowest addi-

tives concentration program.

●

Toyota strongly recommends the 

use of Top Tier Detergent Gaso-

line. For more information on Top 

Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list 

of marketers, please go to the offi-

cial website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of 

low emissions gasoline

Gasolines containing oxygenates 

such as ethers and ethanol, as well 

as reformulated gasolines, are avail-

able in some cities. These fuels are 

typically acceptable for use, provid-

ing they meet other fuel require-

ments.
Toyota recommends these fuels, 

since the formulations allow for 

reduced vehicle emissions.

■

Non-recommendation of the 

use of blended gasoline

●

Use only gasoline containing up to 

15% ethanol.

DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gas-

oline that could contain more than 

15% ethanol, including from any 

pump labeled E30 (30% ethanol 
[

]), E50 (50% ethanol [

]), E85 

(85% ethanol [

]) (which are only 

some examples of fuel containing 

more than 15% ethanol).

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle, 

be sure that it has an octane rat-

ing no lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the 

use of gasoline containing metha-

nol.

■

Non-recommendation of the 

use of gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane 

enhancing additive called MMT 

(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manga-

nese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use 

of gasoline that contains MMT. If 

fuel containing MMT is used, your 

emission control system may be 

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded 
gasoline.
Select octane rating of 87 
(Research Octane Number 
91) or higher. Use of 
unleaded gasoline with an 
octane rating lower than 87 
may result in engine knock-
ing. Persistent knocking 
can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you 
use should meet the specifica-
tions of ASTM D4814 in the 
U.S.A.

The malfunction indicator lamp on 

the instrument cluster may come on. 

If this happens, contact your Toyota 

dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light 

knocking for a short time while 

accelerating or driving uphill. This 

is normal and there is no need for 

concern.

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If 

improper fuels are used, the 

engine will be damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause 

damage to your vehicle’s 

three-way catalytic converters 

causing the emission control 

system to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than 

the type previously stated.

Other gasohol may cause fuel 

system damage or vehicle per-

formance problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with 

an octane number or rating 

lower than the level previously 

stated will cause persistent 

heavy knocking.

At worst, this will lead to engine 

damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot start-

ing, vaporization, engine knock-

ing, etc.) is encountered after 

using a different type of fuel, dis-

continue the use of that type of 

fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It 

can damage your vehicle’s paint.

Transportation.
It provides the purchasers

of Toyota vehicles with informa-
tion on uniform tire quality grad-
ing.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer 
any questions you may have as you

■

DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must 
conform to Federal Safety 
Requirements in addition to 
these grades. Quality grades 
can be found where applicable 
on the tire sidewall between 
tread shoulder and maximum 
section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Trac-
tion AA Temperature A

■

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the 
wear rate of the tire when tested 
under controlled conditions on a 
specified government test 
course.

For example, a tire graded 150

COROLLA_U

would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2) 
times as well on the government 
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires 
depends upon the actual conditions 
of their use. Performance may differ 
significantly from the norm due to 
variations in driving habits, service 
practices and differences in road 
characteristics and climate.

■

Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and 
C, and they represent the tire’s 
ability to stop on wet pavement 
as measured under controlled 
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt 
and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor 
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade 
assigned to this tire is based on 
braking (straight ahead) traction 
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.

■

Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A 

(the highest), B, and C, repre-
senting the tire’s resistance to 
the generation of heat and its 
ability to dissipate heat when 
tested under controlled condi-
tions on a specified indoor labo-
ratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can 
cause the material of the tire to 
degenerate and reduce tire life, and 
excessive temperature can lead to 
sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of 
performance which all passenger 
car tires must meet under the Fed-
eral Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher 
levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum 
required by law.
Warning: The temperature grades 
of a tire assume that it is properly 
inflated and not overloaded.
Excessive speed, underinflation, or 
excessive loading, either sepa-
rately or in combination, can cause 
heat buildup and possible tire fail-
ure.
