8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If you have a flat tire (vehicles with an
emergency tire puncture repair kit)
Vehicles equipped with an emergency tire puncture repair kit do
not have a spare tire equipped.
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.

Before repairing the tire
● Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift lever to P.
● Stop the hybrid system.
● Turn on the emergency flashers.
● 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 make emer-
gency repair with the repair
kit impossible.
• To avoid sealant leakage, move the vehicle until the area of the
puncture, if known, is positioned at the top of the tire.

15
Inflate the tire until the specified
air pressure is reached.
The sealant will be injected
1
and the pressure will surge
and then gradually decrease.
The air pressure gauge will
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 the tire until the speci-
fied air pressure.
• 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 compres-
sor switch off and contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer.

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).

● 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
■ Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
