• If the tire pressure warning light comes on Be sure to observe the following precautions. Failure to do so could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in death or serious injury.
• Stop your vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible. Adjust the tire inflation pressure immediately. If the tire pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure adjustment, you probably have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair the flat tire by using an emergency tire puncture repair kit.
• Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking. If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
• If a blowout or sudden air leakage should occur The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
• Maintenance of the tires Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)

WARNING

As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevents the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to continue to function properly.

NOTICE

• Ensure the tire pressure warning system operates properly
• Do not install tires with different specifications or makers, as the tire pressure warning system may not operate properly.

Vehicle maintenance tips

If you have a flat 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 puncture 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.
• Driving with a flat tire may cause a circumferential groove on the side wall.
• In such a case, the tire may explode when using the emergency tire puncture repair kit, resulting in death or serious injury.

Before repairing the vehicle

• 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 R (manual transmission).
• Stop the engine.
• Turn on the emergency flashers.
• Check the degree of the tire damage. A tire should only be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit if the damage is caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread.
• Do not remove the nail or screw from the tire. Removing the object may widen the opening and disable emergency 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 puncture repair kit

• In the following cases, the tire cannot be repaired with the emergency tire puncture repair kit.
• Contact your Toyota dealer.
• 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 0.16 in. (4 mm) long or more
• When the wheel is damaged
• When 2 or more sharp objects, such as nails or screws, have passed through the tread on a single tire
• When there is more than one hole or cut in the damaged tire
• When the sealant has expired

Quick fixes for car problems

• The sealant has a limited lifespan. 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 emergency tire puncture repair kit can be used only once to temporarily repair a single tire. If the sealant has been used and needs to be purchased, contact your Toyota dealer.
• The compressor is reusable.
• The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from -22°F (-30°C) to 140°F (60°C).
• The kit is exclusively designed for the size and type of tires originally installed on your vehicle. Do not use it for tires that are 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 the operation of the kit, a loud operation noise is produced. This does not indicate a malfunction.
• Do not use the emergency tire puncture repair kit to check or adjust the tire pressure.
• In extremely low temperatures -22°F to -4°F (-30°C to -20°C), the viscosity of the sealant increases and the sealant will flow more slowly
• In such temperatures, bring the sealant into the vehicle to warm it up before use.
• Note for checking the emergency tire puncture repair kit Check the sealant expiry date occasionally. 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 performed properly.

WARNING

• Caution while driving
• Store the repair kit in the trunk. Injuries may result in the event of an accident or sudden braking.
• The repair kit is exclusively only for your vehicle. Do not use repair kits on other vehicles, which could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
• Do not use a 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 causing death or serious injury.
• 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 the eyes or adheres to the skin, immediately wash it off with water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
• If a person who is allergic to natural rubber comes in contact with the sealant, allergy symptoms may occur.

Taking out the emergency tire puncture repair kits

   • The engine switch must be in ACC.
     • Power plug
     • Power outlet
8. To inject the sealant and inflate the tire, turn the compressor switch on.
9.  Adjust the air pressure to the appropriate level (green zone of the air gauge). After the compressor starts to operate, the air pressure will temporarily rise to 44 psi (300 kPa, 3.0kgf/cm2 or bar) or higher. After about 30 seconds when all of the sealant is inside the tire, the air pressure will lower, representing the air pressure in the tire.
10. While filling the tire with air, attach the speed limit label on the position shown in the illustration.
11. Turn the air compressor power switch off when the air pressure reaches the green zone of the air gauge. Remove the power plug from the accessory power socket.
12. With the compressor switch off, disconnect the hose from the valve on the tire and then pull out the power plug from the power outlet socket. Some sealant may leak when the hose is removed.
13. Install the valve cap onto the valve of the emergency repaired tire.
14. Connect the hose of the bottle to the valve of the bottle in a circular fashion to avoid leakage of the remaining sealant. The sealant may stain clothing.
15. Stow the kit back in the vehicle and drive your vehicle immediately for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km).
16. After driving for 10 minutes or 3 miles (5 km), pull your vehicle over in a safe place and reconnect the compressor.
17. Turn the compressor switch on and wait for several seconds, then turn it off. Check the tire inflation pressure.
18. If the air pressure is in the red zone of the air gauge, the kit did not successfully seal the puncture. In this case, please stop driving and contact your Toyota dealer.
19. Taking 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 124 miles (200 km) away for tire repair or replacement.

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 pressure 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 circumferential groove on the side wall. In such a case, the tire may explode when using a repair kit.
• When fixing a 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

WARNING

• 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 or 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 the inflation of the tire has been completed, 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 procedure is not followed, the sealant may be sprayed 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 performed. If you notice any cracks or deformation of the tire, turn off the compressor switch and stop the repair operation immediately.
• The kit may overheat if operated for a long period. Do not operate the compressor continuously for more than 10 minutes.
• Parts of the kit become hot during operation. Be careful handling the kit during and after the operation. Do not touch the metal part around the connecting area between the bottle and 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 tire. The tire may have separated from the wheel.

NOTICE.

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 electrical components when the vehicle is running at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.

Charging the battery

• The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)

When the battery is removed or discharged

• Information stored in the ECU is cleared. When the battery is depleted, have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.

When removing the battery terminals

• When the battery terminals are removed, the information stored in the ECU is cleared. Before removing 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 natural discharge and the draining effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges automatically during driving.)

When recharging or replacing the battery

• In some cases, it may not be possible to unlock the doors using the smart key system when the battery is discharged. Use the wireless 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 memorized by the vehicle. When the battery is reconnected, the system will return to the mode it was in before the battery was discharged. 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.
• Make sure that the key is not inside the vehicle when recharging or replacing the battery. The key may be locked in the vehicle if the alarm is activated.  

WARNING

Avoiding battery fires or explosions

• Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flammable gas that may be emitted from the battery:
  • Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that it is not unintentionally 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.
  • Do not allow the + and – clamps of the jumper cables to come into contact with each other.
    Do not smoke, use matches, or cigarette lighters, or allow open flame near the battery.

Battery precautions

• The battery contains poisonous and corrosive acidic electrolytes, while related parts contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the following precautions when handling the battery:
  • When working with the battery, always wear safety glasses and take care not to allow any battery fluids (acid) to come into contact with skin, clothing, or the vehicle body.
  • Do not lean over the battery.
  • If battery fluid comes into contact with the skin or eyes, immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical attention. Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical attention can be received.
  • Always wash your hands after handling the battery support, terminals, and other battery-related parts.

   • If the fan is not operating:
   • Stop the engine immediately and contact your Toyota dealer.
7. If the fan is operating:
   • Has the vehicle been inspected at the nearest Toyota dealer?

WARNING

• When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
  Observe the following precautions.
  Failure to do so may result in serious injuries such as burns.
  • If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The engine compartment may be very hot.
  • Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, a scarf, or a muffler) away from the fans and belts.
  • Do not loosen the radiator cap and the coolant reservoir cap while the engine and radiator are hot. High-temperature steam or coolant could spray out.

NOTICE

• When adding engine coolant
  Wait until the engine has cooled down before adding engine coolant. When adding coolant, do so slowly. 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 precautions:
  • Avoid contaminating the coolant with foreign matter (such as sand or dust etc.).
  • Do not use any coolant additives.

If the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow:
