13To inject the sealant and inflate the tire, turn the com- pressor switch on.
14Inflate the tire until the speci- fied air pressure is reached.
|

The sealant will be injected and the pressure will spike to between 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0 kgf/cm2 or bar) and 58 psi (400 kPa, 4.0 kgf/cm2 or bar), then gradually decrease.
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 the specified point after inflation for 25 minutes, the tire is too damaged
to be repaired. Turn the compres- sor switch off and contact your Toy- ota dealer.
If the tire inflation pressure exceeds the specified air pressure, let out some air to adjust the tire inflation pressure. (P.531, 564)
Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
17Attach the air release cap to the end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not attached, the sealant may leak and the vehicle may get dirty.
19To spread the liquid sealant evenly within the tire, imme- diately drive safely for about 3 miles (5 km) below 50 mph
(80 km/h).
20After driving, stop your vehi- cle in a safe place on a hard,
flat surface and reconnect the repair kit.
Remove the air release cap from the hose before reconnecting the hose.

531
22Turn the compressor switch on to inflate the tire until the specified air pressure is reached. Drive for about 3 miles (5 km) and then per- form step 20.
23Attach the air release cap to the end of the hose.
If the air release cap is not attached, the sealant may leak and the vehicle may get dirty.
25Taking precautions to avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp turns, drive carefully at under 50 mph (80 km/h) to the nearest Toyota dealer that is less than 62 miles (100 km) away for tire repair or replacement.
When having the tire repaired or replaced, make sure to tell the Toy- ota dealer that the sealant is injected.
If the air pressure is under the des- ignated pressure, turn the compres- sor switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the speci- fied air pressure is reached.
After a tire is repaired with the emer- gency tire puncture repair kit, the valve should be replaced.
The tire pressure warning valve and transmitter should be replaced.
Even if the tire inflation pressure is at the recommended level, the tire pressure warning light may come
on/flash.

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.

Replacing a flat tire
Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the vehicle has been driven. After the vehi- cle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
Failure to follow these precau- tions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Do not attach a heavily dam- aged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel while the vehi- cle is moving.
When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been spe- cifically designed for that wheel.
