WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Vehicles with under floor mounted spare tire: Lower the spare tire com-

pletely 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 immediately

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 112 N•m

(11.4 kgf•m, 83 ft•lbf) steel wheels, 103 N•m (10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) alu-
minum wheels, as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheel may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.

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

wheel while the vehicle is moving.

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

bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

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

designed for that wheel.

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

ends facing inward.
