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.

• Have the wheel nuts tightened

with a torque wrench as soon as

possible after changing wheels.

Steel wheel: 154 ft•lbf (209 N•m,

21.3 kgf•m)

Aluminum wheel: 97 ft•lbf (131

• When installing a tire, only use

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

• Retighten the wheel nuts within

100 miles (160 km) of driving.

• 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.
