Toyota CH-R: If you have a flat tire (vehicles with an emergency tire puncture repair kit)

Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is equipped with an emergency tire puncture repair kit.

Have the tire repaired and replaced as soon as possible.

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, which could result in an accident.

Before repairing the tire

• Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
• Set the parking brake.
• Shift the shift position to P.
• Stop the hybrid system.
• 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 make emergency repair with the repair kit impossible.
• 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 any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

• When the tire is damaged due to driving without sufficient air pressure
• When there are any cracks or damage at any location on the tire, such as on the side wall, except the tread
• When the tire is visibly separated from the wheel
• When the cut or damage to the tread is 4 mm (0.16 in.) long or more
• When the wheel is damaged
• When two or more tires have been punctured
• When more than 2 sharp objects such as nails or screws have passed through the tread on a single tire
• When the sealant has expired
