WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi-

ately after the vehicle has been driven.

After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around

the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet

or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.

●

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to

loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103

N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off

the wheel while the vehicle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi-

cally designed for that wheel.

• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut

threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by

your Toyota dealer.

• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the

tapered ends facing inward. (

P. 452)

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.

If foreign matter is on the wheel

contact surface, the wheel nuts

may loosen while the vehicle is in

motion, causing the tire to come

off.

Install  the  tire  and  loosely  tighten  each  wheel  nut  by  hand  by
approximately the same amount.
When  replacing  a  steel  wheel
with  a  compact  spare  tire,
tighten the wheel nuts until the
tapered  portion  comes  into
loose  contact  with  the  disc
wheel seat.

When  replacing  an  aluminum
wheel  with  a  compact  spare
tire, tighten the wheel nuts until
the  tapered  portion  comes  into
loose  contact  with  the  disc
wheel seat.

Lower the vehicle.

■

The compact spare tire

●

The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE

ONLY” on the tire sidewall.

Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.

●

Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.

(

P. 546)

■

When the compact spare tire is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire

compared to when driving with standard tires.

■

After completing the tire change (vehicles with a tire pressure warn-

ing system)
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (

P. 442)

■

When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with a tire pressure

warning system)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be

indicated by the tire pressure warning system. Also, if you replace the

compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light

remains on.

■

If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle.

Perform the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:

Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehi-

cle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.

■

When reinstalling the wheel ornament (vehicles with steel wheels)
Align the cutout of the wheel ornament

with the valve stem as shown the illus-

tration.
