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

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 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 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/cm

2

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.
