WARNING

■Using the tire jack

Observe the following precautions.

Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off

the jack, leading to death or serious injury.

●Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or

installing and removing tire chains.

●Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat

tire.

Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for

replacing tires on this vehicle.

● Put the jack properly in its jack point.

●Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported

by the jack.

● Do not start the engine or drive the vehicle while the vehicle is sup-

ported by the jack.

● Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside.

●When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack.

●Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to

replace the tire.

●Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle.

●When lowering the vehicle, make sure that there is no-one near the

vehicle. If there are people nearby, warn them vocally before lowering.

■Using the jack handle

Insert the square head securely until you hear a click to prevent the

extension parts from coming apart unexpectedly.

WARNING

■Replacing a flat tire

●Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in serious injury:

• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it

from under the vehicle.

• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in

handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.

• 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 83 ft·lbf

(113 N·m, 11.5 kgf·m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• 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.

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

the wheel while the vehicle is moving.

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

tapered ends facing inward. (P. 532)

Installing the spare tire

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-

1

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.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

■The temporary spare tire

●The temporary spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE

ONLY” on the disc wheel.

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

●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the temporary spare

tire. (P. 633)

■After completing the tire change (vehicles with the tire pressure

warning system)

The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (P. 521)

■When using the temporary spare tire (vehicles with the tire pressure

warning system)

As the temporary spare tire is not equipped with the 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

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

light remains on.

■If you have a flat rear tire on a road covered with snow or ice

Install the temporary spare tire on one of the front wheels of the vehicle.

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

1

Replace a front tire with the temporary spare tire.

2

Replace the flat rear tire with the tire removed from the front of the

vehicle.

3

Fit tire chains to the rear tires.

608

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency

NOTICE

■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 tire chains and the temporary spare tire

Do not fit tire chains to the temporary spare tire.

Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving

performance.

■When replacing the tires (vehicles with the tire pressure warning

system)

When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure

warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

■ To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmit-

ters (if equipped)

When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning

valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is

used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon

as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and

transmitter when replacing the tire. (P. 520)
