7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

When replacing tires on a vehi-
cle with wheel lock nuts, use the
following procedures to remove
and install the wheel lock nuts.
The wheel lock key is stored in
the tray inside the luggage com-
partment. Always return the
wheel lock key to its original
position after use, so that it does
not get lost. (



P.406)

■

Removal

For ease of removal, the wheel
lock nut should always be the
first one loosened.

Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.

Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, loosen
the wheel lock nut.

■

Installation

For ease of installation, the
wheel lock nut should always be
the last one tightened.

By hand, install a wheel lock
nut on the wheel to be
installed.

Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.

Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, tighten
the wheel lock nut to the rec-
ommended torque.

WARNING

●

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 neces-

sary 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.

WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Do not touch the disc wheels or

the area around the brakes

immediately after the vehicle

has been driven. After the vehi-

cle 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 precau-

tions could cause the wheel

nuts to loosen and the tire to fall

off, resulting in death or serious

injury.

• Never use oil or grease on the

wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Oil and grease may cause the

wheel nuts to be excessively

tightened, leading to bolt or disc

wheel damage. In addition, the

oil or grease can cause the

wheel nuts to loosen and the

wheel may fall off, causing an

accident and resulting in death

or serious injury. Remove any

oil or grease from the wheel

bolts or wheel nuts.

412

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Remove any dirt or foreign
matter from the wheel con-
tact surface.

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 steel wheel, tighten the wheel
nuts until the tapered portion

comes into loose contact with the
disc wheel seat

When replacing an aluminum wheel

with a steel wheel, tighten the

wheel nuts until the tapered portion

comes into loose contact with

the disc wheel seat

WARNING

• 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 dam-

aged wheel ornament, as it may

fly off the wheel while the vehi-

cle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

• If there are any cracks or defor-

mations 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.

■

Replacing a flat tire for vehi-

cles with power back door (if

equipped)

In cases such as when replacing

tires, make sure to canceling the

power back door system

(



P.116). Failure to do so may

cause the back door to operate

unintentionally if the power back

door switch is accidentally

touched, resulting in hands and

fingers being caught and injured.

Installing the spare tire

413

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

tro

Lower the vehicle.

Firmly tighten each wheel nut
two or three times in the
order shown in the illustra-
tion.

Vehicles with wheel locks: Tighten

the wheel lock using the wheel lock

key after tightening the other wheel

nuts.
Tightening torque:

76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)

Stow the flat tire, tire jack and
all tools.

The compact spare tire

●

The compact spare tire is identi-

fied by the label “TEMPORARY

USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall.

Use the compact spare tire tempo-

rarily, and only in an emergency.

●

Make sure to check the tire infla-

tion pressure of the compact

spare tire. (



P.434)

■

When the compact spare tire is

equipped

The vehicle becomes lower when

driving with the compact spare tire

compared to when driving with stan-

dard tires.

■

After completing the tire

change

The tire pressure warning system

must be reset. (



P.356)

■

When using the compact spare

tire

As the compact spare tire is not

equipped with a tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter, low infla-

tion 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.

■

When reinstalling the wheel

ornament (steel wheels except

compact spare tire)

Align the cutout of the wheel orna-

ment with the valve stem as shown

in the illustration.

WARNING

■

When using the compact

spare tire

●

Remember that the compact

spare tire provided is specifi-

cally designed for use with your

vehicle. Do not use your com-

pact spare tire on another vehi-

cle.

414

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

WARNING

●

Do not use more than one com-

pact spare tires simultaneously.

●

Replace the compact spare tire

with a standard tire as soon as

possible.

●

Avoid sudden acceleration,

abrupt steering, sudden brak-

ing and shifting operations that

cause sudden engine braking.

■

When the compact spare tire

is attached

The vehicle speed may not be

correctly detected, and the follow-

ing systems may not operate cor-

rectly:

• ABS & Brake assist

• VSC

• TRAC

• Automatic High Beam

• AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting

System) (if equipped)

• Dynamic radar cruise control

with full-speed range

• EPS

• PCS (Pre-Collision System)

• Rear view monitor system

Also, not only can the following

system not be utilized fully, but it

may even negatively affect the

drive-train components:

• AWD system (AWD models)

■

Speed limit when using the

compact spare tire

Do not drive at speeds in excess

of 50 mph (80 km/h) when a com-

pact spare tire is installed on the

vehicle.

The compact spare tire is not

designed for driving at high

speeds. Failure to observe this

precaution may lead to an acci-

dent causing death or serious

injury.

■

After using the tools and jack

Before driving, make sure all the

tools and jack are securely in

place in their storage location to

reduce the possibility of personal

injury during a collision or sudden

braking.

NOTICE

■

Be careful when driving over

bumps with the compact

spare tire installed on the

vehicle.

The vehicle becomes lower when

driving with the compact spare tire

compared to when driving with

standard tires. Be careful when

driving over uneven road sur-

faces.

■

Driving with tire chains and

the compact spare tire

Do not fit tire chains to the com-

pact spare tire. Tire chains may

damage the vehicle body and

adversely affect driving perfor-

mance.

handled correctly.

■

To avoid damage to the tire

pressure warning valves and

transmitters

When a tire is repaired with liquid

sealants, the tire pressure warn-

ing valve and transmitter may not

operate properly. If a liquid seal-

ant 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.

If the engine will not

start
