If “High electric power consumption Some functions disabled” is dis-
played (vehicles with 1GD-FTV engine)

The operation of the following systems are disabled until the Heated Wind-
shield Defroster is off and the message is resolved.

• Outer seconds seat heaters
• Luggage compartment power outlet (220 V AC)

■

If “Visit Your Dealer” is shown

The system or part shown on the multi-information display is malfunctioning.
Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer immediately. 

■

Warning buzzer

In some cases, the buzzer may not be heard due to being in a noisy location
or audio sound.

NOTICE

■

While the engine oil level warning is displayed

Continued engine operation with low engine oil will damage the engine.

■

Engine oil maintenance message (1GD-FTV engine only)

The warning message is based on the projected driving range after engine
oil maintenance message is reset. The system does not monitor the purity
of the engine oil.

■

If the “Drain Water from Fuel Filter” warning message is displayed (die-
sel engine)

Never drive the vehicle if the warning message is displayed. Continued driv-
ing with water accumulated in the fuel filter will damage the fuel injection
pump.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

If you have a flat tire (vehicles without 

a spare tire)

Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire
tread can be repaired temporarily with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit.

WARNING

■

If you have 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, which could result in an accident.
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.

●

Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.

●

Set the parking brake.

●

Shift the shift lever to P (automatic transmission) or N (manual
transmission).

●

Turn off the rear height control air suspension (if equipped).
(



Refer to the “Off-road driving Owner’s manual”)

●

Stop the engine.

●

Turn on the emergency flashers. (



P. 644)

●

Check the degree of the tire damage.

A tire should only be repaired
with the emergency tire punc-
ture repair kit if the damage is
caused by a nail or screw pass-
ing through the tire tread.

• Do not remove the nail or

screw from the tire. Remov-
ing the object may widen the
opening and disenable emer-
gency repair with the kit.

• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the area of the

puncture, if known, is positioned at the top of the tire.

■

A flat tire that cannot be repaired with the emergency tire repair kit

In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire
puncture repair kit. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

●

When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure

●

When the tire lost air pressure due to a crack or damage in the tire sidewall

●

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 there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Inflate the tire until the recom-
mended pressure is reached.

The sealant will be injected
and the pressure will spike
to 300 kPa (3.0 kgf/cm

2

 or

bar, 44 psi) or 400 kPa (4.0
kgf/cm

2

 or bar, 58 psi), then

gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
display the actual tire infla-
tion pressure about 1 minute
after the switch is turned on.

• 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 recom-
mended tire inflation pressure
is reached.

• If the needle of the air pressure gauge reaches the red zone (450

kPa [4.5 kgf/cm

2

 or bar, 65 psi] or more), there may be a malfunction

in the tire or in the kit itself. Stop operation immediately.

• If the tire inflation pressure is still lower than the recommended level

after inflation for 10 minutes with the switch on, the tire is too dam-
aged to be repaired. Turn the compressor switch off and contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

• If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the recommended level, let out

some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. (



P. 690)

Disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire and then pull out the
power plug from the power outlet socket.
To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, immediately drive
for about 5 km (3 miles).

After driving for about 5 km
(3 miles), stop your vehicle in a
safe place on a hard, flat sur-
face and reconnect the com-
pressor.

Turn the compressor switch on
and wait for several seconds,
then turn it off. Check the tire
inflation pressure.

If the tire inflation pressure is
below 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm

2

or bar, 19 psi): The puncture
cannot be repaired. Contact
any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
If the tire inflation pressure is between 130 kPa (1.3 kgf/cm

bar, 19 psi) and a point below the recommended level: The tire
can be repaired. Proceed to step

Emergency tire puncture repair kit

●

The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiry date is marked on the bottle.
The sealant should be replaced before the expiry date. Contact any autho-
rized 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 single tire. If the sealant in the bottle and
other parts of the kit have been used and need to be purchased, contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.

●

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 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. Immediately wipe away
the sealant with a wet cloth.

●

During operation of the kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does
not indicate a malfunction.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■

If the tire is inflated to more than the recommended level

Disconnect the hose from the valve.

Disconnect the hose from the valve, remove the air release cap from the
hose and then reconnect the hose.
Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then turn it
off. Check that the air pressure indicator shows the recommended level.
(



P. 761)

If the air pressure is lower than the recommended level, turn the compres-
sor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the recom-
mended pressure is reached.

■

After a tire is repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit (vehi-
cles with the tire pressure warning system)

●

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.

Install the air release cap to the end of
the hose and push the protrusion on the
air release cap into the valve to let
some air out.

WARNING

■

Precautions for use of the sealant

●

Ingesting the sealant is hazardous to your health. If you ingest sealant,
consume as much water as possible, 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.
