When you notice you have a puncture, do not continue driving your Toyota, as this can rapidly damage both the tyre and wheel. Stop your car safely and away from traffic if possible. If needed, set up a warning triangle and turn on the hazard lights. Apply the parking brake so the car doesn’t accidentally move.
Locate and examine the puncture. Don’t use the repair kit if it is larger than 4 millimetres in diameter, if the wheel rim is damaged, or if the tyre has been flat or at low pressure for an extended period.
Move the vehicle so that the puncture is positioned as high as possible in the top half of the tyre. If a nail or screw is in the tyre - a common occurrence - do not remove it. Make sure also that the air valve is positioned in the top half of the tyre. This will help stabilise the bottle of sealant you will be using.
The Toyota tyre repair kit is located in the boot under the false floor. The kit consists of a compressor for re-inflating the tyre, a bottle of sealant you’ll use to fill the hole, and warning stickers.
First apply a sticker to the wheel to show there is sealant in the tyre. Apply another to the A-pillar to remind you to change the wheel at the next opportunity.
Remove the valve cap and screw the sealant bottle tightly on the valve. Then remove the cap from the end of the sealant bottle. Unravel the hose at the back of the compressor and screw it tightly onto the sealant bottle. Unravel the wiring connected to the compressor and plug it into the auxiliary socket inside the car.
For a non-hybrid vehicle, start the engine. For a hybrid vehicle have the “ready” light on. Turn on the compressor. It should take no more than 10 minutes to inflate the tyre to an acceptable level. Then switch off the compressor and press the yellow button to test the pressure in the tyre.
It is important to check your owner’s manual for the correct pressure level for your vehicle. If the tyre does not reach this you will need to call a recovery service.
If the pressure is OK, remove the sealant bottle from the valve and re-install the valve cap. You then need to drive about 3 miles, as the sealant spreads itself around and over the punctured area. Drive with caution because the tyre is not yet fully re-inflated.
Then stop and re-examine the tyre. If it appears damaged, you should call a recovery service. If it remains inflated and looks OK, refit the kit and continue to inflate the tyre to the pressure listed in the owner’s manual.
The car is now safe to drive. But don’t exceed 50 miles per hour. And accelerate, brake and corner gently. The repair is only a temporary measure. Go to a Toyota repairer as soon as you can.
There you will receive expert assistance and the best possible care for your Toyota - ensuring that your driving experience remains safe and pleasurable. - Авто та транспорт
Just bring back the spare tyre. It’s a waste of time at lonely places In the dark. Imagine, how scary it would be, to be alone in the middle of no where at night.
I agree. I rented a car from budget. They had no spare tire. They had the sealant but there was no compressor. I called them at 5am in the morning and had to wait until 8am in the middle of no where. They asked me where I was. I told them there is not even one building around me.
A spare tyre is still the best option
Repair with this kit is more costly, takes a longer time, and may not solve your flat tyre. Many cases, your car will still require to be towed when it fails to inflat.
Workshop may render your tyres not safe for use and you may still need to purchase a new pair of tyres.
Workshops do not sell a single tyre, minimum 2 tyres for tyres beyond repair due to the gel that's left inside the punctured tyre.
Change to a spare tyre in contrast is easy and takes just 5mins or less for me. I will be on my way even if my punctured tyre is beyond repair by the gel kit. And that saves me the cost and time needed to call a tow truck, and wait for another 30mins or more for his arrival. Replacing a used bottle of gel is not cheaper than calling a tow truck, if u have to use it, u might as well call a tow truck from the start. Spare tyre can be reuse at no cost for your next puncture.
Spare wheel is better. It takes some space in the trunk, it may be a bit harder to change(sometimes) but you can change it in less then 10-15min. No need to worry if the hole is to big, or if the platform comes to late... :)
They don't ship all cars with spares anymore.
On german autobahn, cars around You are doing about 200 km/h... but I HAVE TO PLACE THE STICKER!! 😁😁😁👍
Had to buy a second hand spare wheel and jack kit because some clerk thought it's a great idea to save couple of bucks by giving you this useless piece of sh...kit.
If I'm traveling somewhere and tyre gets punctured, I don't want to loose half of the day just to repair the damn thing. If you apply this for fixing a small puncture, it will cost you much more to get it repaired, than to actually buy a spare wheel - tyre needs to be reinstalled, cleaned and repaired, and you will need a new valve and wheel balancing.
It takes you max 30 minutes to swap the spare wheel, continue on driving normally, and then fix the wheel when you have time. Small punctures are quick and easy to repair and they usually don't require tyre removal from the rim.
Refitt with the sealant or without the sealant??? if I have applied the kit with sealant once then check by driving 2/3 miles. if it is found ok, then should I only refitt the inflitator kit or with the sealant again??????? pls answer.
how the heck i check puncher size
What to do with the sealant bottle once used throw it away refill or what for future issue?
Toyota is always better. Best excellent 👍👍👍
Spare wheel is very important 🚗🇵🇰
True but hybrid car cannot fit in spare tire anymore because of its battery. If petrol engine car no spare tire, you should kick their ass.
@@kf160k160 no it is completely the same as non hybrid. The traction battery is under the rear seat. Does not take any space at all. All Fucking manufacturer: skoda, benz, toyota, etc. save cost by giving us cheaper kit than real tire. I just yank all the B S from under the trunk and put full size wheel instead. Get it cheap from junkyard and fully functional in unlimited speed zone
@@rondhole 2014 Crosstrek and not sure bout other years...hybrid battery takes up trunk....
@@rrsnotyours No after 2010. They are always under the rear seat or front seat in minivan. Minivan as big as Sienna with 8 passenger gets 35MPG in city is insane compared to other minivans. My Corolla have full size wheel because the HV battery is under the rear seat and 12V battery is also in the engine bay. Trunk size is identical with non hybrid. Besides that, only buy Toyota Hybrid or Toyota technology HSD like in Ford and Pacifica. Don't buy stupid hybrid with dual clutch transmission like Hyundai/KIA or VW.
Supply spare wheel and we might buy your cars. These only work on the smallest of punctures. Which most are not. You have to buy a new wheel and tyre to move your car. Or take the punctured tyre and wheel somewhere to get it fixed and then bring it back. All the time your car is jacked up at the side of the road.. In cars this size it's not a problem to carry a spare wheel. So fit one please..
The salesman didn't tell me I had a tire repair kit instead of a spare tire. I found out several months later. Toyota is not the only company that is phasing out the spare tire. My car is a Jeep.
mine is a KIA..
Mine Mercedes .. same problem ..
Mine Mazda
Insanity for a jeep
Anyone out there, I am trying to find out how to reconnect the spilt back rest on the rear seat on my 07 avalon. Help.
Replace the tire because of a small screw? Can't be plugged in later?
A lot of new cars dont come with a spare anymore
do i need to pull out the screw from tire before used sealant or just leave it?
Leave it, removing it makes things worse.
@James marshall You are the moron
Do not use the glue, 4mm is not much, trust me I work on UK motorways if you have a small puncture a trye which may have lots of wear left is now useless and a new one had to bought. Always negotiate with the dealer for either a space saver or full size spare, you do not want to trying this kind of repair on any fast road.
You have to bring the car to the dealer because the sealant will destroy your tire pressure sensor. Well done $$$
good
this helped me when i hit a cinderblock on i71 and shredded my tire into a million little pieces in the roadway
both the air valve and the random puncture should be in the top half of the tire? what if they are in opposite halves? haha
Simply remove the screw or nail and insert it closer to the valve.
Next technology: drive your car with flat tyre to the farthest dealership to fix it.
I just found this items in my moms car and I was wondering if I could use it😂😂😅
Wanna hear a dumb thing, ME TOO.
You probably thought it's for body cleaning or something like that
Instead use a spare wheel
I'm with you on this, but make sure your spare wheel is the same size as your regular wheels, and not some cheap doughnut! I did this for my Ford Escape!
No more spare wheels, all New cars comes with this kit now
greedy fuckers. We all have to buy a spare wheel. This is the deal we have. A fucking joke...
@@kebruya
You sure about that? The new 2019 RAV4 comes with a spare. The Ford Escape (aka Kuga) also has one. So does the Mazda CX-5 and Honda CRV. To be completely honest with you, I haven't seen a single car without a spare, but maybe that's just because of the types of cars I'm checking out.
@@Lucky8s I'm sure expensive cars may have. However, Seat Aron came without. I bought a second hand wheel with a new tire and this car has room for a normal one.
I would never go on a long road with that stupid kit. I don't really trust it.
Can you use the pump without the bottle just to pump up the tyre
Yes, you can. The compressor is an efficient, quick way to reflate a tyre, better than a foot pump.
This is a lot of BS ... just change the dam tire
So what happens to that tire with all that goop in it? can it be repaired usually?
No once you put that goop in you need to get another tyre.
@@gravemind6536 Really? I thought this is cleanable :/
In that case, even second hand spare wheel is a good investment.
@@bojned tire shops wont go near a tire with goop in it it ruins their equipment.
this video: how to make a tyre puncture event look like a dinausaur
Toyota tell your managers to STOP THIS TIRE REPAIR KIT NON SENSE. Some punctures are beyond repair. BRING BACK A SPARE TIRE.
Auris love car
I want my spare tyre back
why not a spare wheel
The "best possible care" would be a spare tyre...
Doesnt this make the tire useless after putting sealant inside
Yes it does its only a temporary fix until you get a new tyre and the mechanic you see will hate you for putting that nasty sealeant inside. It gets everywhere when they take the tyre off.
By all means get a full size spare tire!
Where is the spare
Seems like such a fuss!? Why make things so complicated??
Spare wheel would be a better option
"How to omit an essential piece of safety equipment from the cars you sell (i.e. a spare tire)."
what if the tyre get burst after hitting a pothole??
I think, this is the worst method for cost cutting or space saving
every car need a spare wheel its a safety feature to not get lost in wild.
What if this pumps broke ?? You need spare weel
In my culture: If it remains inflated then keep on driving until it gives up again
Spare wheel still the best option. Why give all the hard time to the driver this is unsafe.
I always thought it was tire and not tyre but eah maybe that's how they spell it in other countries
Get-The-Lead-Out.45 American and British
@@samteller7998 america and rest of the world *
Just tried this right now. It's frustrating getting a puncture even more so using this stupid device. Even putting on a maori biscuit ( spare) was better than this junk. I can't think of a worse scenario if this happens to a woman driving home at night. The safety implications of having this rather than a spare dumbfound me. 😵💫😬
All these space saver stuff is stupid, All we want is a full size spare tyre.
But all you "spare tyre" Party followers, don't forget to take the right screws with you when you use your summertime Aluminium wheels
This is a scam. Just provide a spare wheel for God's sake!
UnknownHumanoid l drive 2012 Prius and would prefer a space saver wheel any day. This repair kit would drive me bonkers. Have never used it. Now I know why!
Instead buy another car, but never from a Chevy dealer.
ok here's what you should and can do to repair
1. find the puncture (if its small like a pinhole then just pump up your tyre to about 50psi and fix it use tyre weld)
2. go to a store to buy a puncture repair kit
3. fix the puncture and then pump your tyre to 30psi if it leaks still use tyre weld
4. YOU CAN DRIVE OVER 50MPH YOUR TYRE IS FINE NOW
These systems are beyond stupid, for years we just carried a spare wheel, it's best and it's simple. These silly ' advancements ' are nearly always a backward step backwards, and I'd just get rid of this silly kit, and replace it with a spare wheel!
I do not purchase a new car without a spare tyre. I'm no idiot.
❌❌❌❌❌❌❌❌
Complete waste of time, C-HR had similar puncture to this video and the kit was totally useless. Toyota stop skimming customers and put a space saver in the cars.
Fuck repair kits. Give a god damn spare wheel!
Would rather have a spare wheel. What a huge fuck around -_-
What you do is throw the stupid tyre repair kit into the bin and use a spare wheel.
0:32 ok.... so if it is, what do you do then? whip out the spare tyre! oh wait hang on... where did it go? lost to time and space, back in a more civilised age...
It's stupid to call a recovery just for a tyre puncture if this kit won't work. Get a spare tyre instead of this to save a recovery truck coming just for a simple puncture. This kit is a joke if you're travelling in the wilderness at night.
I mean spare wheel instead. 😊
This fucking joke in the name of innovation must be stopped, instead of saving space please save people's time.
Agree, I dump those B S slime and put my full size winter tires on my auris. It fits perfectly and still have enough space for second row trunk.
Simply disgraceful that Toyota do not put spares in cars, it's a massive backward step
These things are crap no good if you get a puncture in the side wall,just useless.
Should have a spare wheel,video with annoying meaningless music
Toyota, if you cared for me, you would have put an extra tyre..... Shame on you
Stupid and dangerous! spare wheel is much better.
how much miles u can do after repaired by kit ?
