CAMRY_HV_EE
NOTICE
■ When performing an emergency repair
●
Perform the emergency repair without removing the nail or screw that has
punctured the tread of the tire. If the object that has punctured the tire is
removed, repair by the emergency tire puncture repair kit may not be pos-
sible.
● The kit is not waterproof. Make sure that the kit is not exposed to water,
such as when it is being used in the rain.
●
Do not put the kit directly onto dusty ground such as sand at the side of the
road. If the kit vacuums up dust, etc., a malfunction may occur.
● Make sure to stand the kit with the bottle vertical. The kit cannot work
properly if it is laid on its side.
■
Handling the emergency tire puncture repair kit
● The compressor power source should be 12 V DC suitable for vehicle use.
Do not connect the compressor to any other source.
●
If gasoline splatters on the kit, the kit may deteriorate. Take care not to
allow gasoline to contact it.
● When the emergency tire puncture repair kit is not being used, be sure to
leave it in the plastic bag and keep it in its proper storage position to pre-
vent it from being exposed to dirt or water.
● Store the kit in its assigned place out of reach of children.
● Do not disassemble or modify the kit. Do not subject parts such as the air
pressure indicator to impacts. This may cause a malfunction.
■
To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters
When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. After use of liq-
uid sealant, make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter when repairing or replacing the tire. (
