Toyota Corolla: If you have a flat tire (vehicles without spare tire) / Before repairing the tire
- Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
- Set the parking brake.
- Shift the shift lever to P (continuously variable transmission) or N (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 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.
