460
5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Emergency tire puncture repair kit
●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 replaced, purchase a new bottle at your Toyota dealer. The compressor is reusable.
●The sealant can be used when the outside temperature is from
-40°F (-40°C) to 140°F (60°C).
●The repair 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 dif- ferent size than the original ones, or for any other purposes.
●The sealant has a limited lifespan. The expiration date is marked on the bottle. The bottle of sealant should be replaced with a new bottle before the expiration date. Contact your Toyota dealer for replace- ment.
●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. Immedi- ately 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.
461
5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
■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.
■Caution while driving
●Store the repair kit in the luggage compartment.
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 kit on other vehicles, which could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
●Do not use 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, and then immediately consult a doctor.
●If sealant gets in eyes or adheres to skin, immediately wash it off with
water. If discomfort persists, consult a doctor.
■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 vehi- cle. If the hose is not properly 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.
462
5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
●After inflation of the tire has 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 procedures not
followed, the sealant may spray 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 repair kit may overheat if operated for a long period of time. Do not
operate the repair kit continuously for more than 35 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 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 following. • Tire condition. The tire may have separated from the wheel. • Tire inflation pressure. If the tire inflation pressure is 19 psi (130
kPa, 1.3 kgf/cm2 or bar) or less, the tire may be severely dam- aged.463
5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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 a 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 disenable 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 malfunction may occur.
■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.
●If gasoline splatters on the repair kit, the repair kit may deteriorate.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If your vehicle overheats
If “High Battery Temp” is shown on the multi-information display, the vehicle may be overheating. If the message does not disappear after driving for a little while, fol- low the correction procedure as described below.
Correction procedures
STEP 1
STEP 2
Stop the vehicle in a safe place and turn off the air condition- ing system. Check to see if steam is coming out from under the hood. If you see steam:
Stop the EV system. Carefully lift the hood after the steam subsides and then restart the EV system.
If you do not see steam:
Leave the EV system operating and carefully lift the hood.
STEP 3
Check to see if the cooling fans are operating. If the fans are operating:
Wait until “High Battery Temp” disappears and then stop the EV system.
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the EV system immediately and contact your Toyota dealer.
STEP 4
After “High Battery Temp” disap- pears, check the motor/traction battery coolant level and inspect the cooling system for leaks.
There are 2 powertrain coolant reservoirs. Make sure to check both of them. (P. 357)

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
STEP 5
If necessary, add motor coolant up to the “FULL” line.
Add after confirming the type of coolant. (P. 357) Water can be used in an emer- gency if motor coolant is unavail- able.
Have the vehicle checked at nearest Toyota dealer as soon as possi- ble.
CAUTION
■To prevent an accident or injury when inspecting under the hood of
your vehicle ●If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until the steam has subsided. The motor compartment may be very hot, caus- ing serious injury such as burns.
●Check that the indicator on the “POWER” switch and the “READY” indica-
tor are off.
●When the “READY” indicator is illuminated, the cooling fans may suddenly start to operate. Do not touch or approach the fans. Doing so may lead to fingers, clothes or tools getting caught, resulting in an accidental injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap while the EV system and radiator
are hot. Serious injury, such as burns, may result from hot coolant and steam released under pressure.
NOTICE
■When adding motor coolant
Wait until the EV system has cooled down before adding motor coolant. When adding coolant, do so slowly. Adding cool coolant to a hot EV system too quickly can cause damage to the EV system.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If the vehicle becomes stuck
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:
STEP 1
STEP 2
STEP 3
STEP 4
STEP 5
Set the parking brake, change the shift position to P and stop the EV system. Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the front wheels. Place wood, stones or some other material under the front wheels to help provide traction. Restart the EV system. Make sure to change the shift position to D or R, release the parking brake, and then carefully apply the accelerator to free the vehicle.
■When it is difficult to free the vehicle
Press the VSC OFF switch to turn off TRAC.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur- rounding area is clear to avoid striking other vehicles, objects or people. The vehicle may also lunge forward or lunge back suddenly as it becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When changing the shift position
Be careful not to change the shift position with the accelerator pedal depressed. This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the transmission and other components
●Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
478
5-2. Steps to take in an emergency If your vehicle has to be stopped in an emergency
Only in an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible to stop the vehicle in the normal way, stop the vehicle using the following pro- cedure:
STEP 1
STEP 2
Steadily step on the brake pedal with both feet and firmly depress it. Do not pump the brake pedal repeatedly as this will increase the effort required to slow the vehicle. Shift the shift position to N.
If the shift position is changed to N
STEP 3
STEP 4
After slowing down, stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road. Stop the EV system.
If the shift position cannot be changed to N
STEP 3
Keep depressing the brake pedal with both feet to reduce vehicle speed as much as possible.
STEP 4
To stop the EV system, press and hold the “POWER” switch for 2 consecutive seconds or more, or press it briefly 3
times or more in succession.Press and hold for 2 seconds or more, or press briefly 3 times or more
STEP 5
Stop the vehicle in a safe place by the road.
CAUTION
■If the EV system has to be turned off while driving
Power assist for the steering wheel will be lost, making the steering wheel heavier to turn. Decelerate as much as possible before turning off the EV system.
