| 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 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 specifically
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.

Installing the spare tire
1. Remove any dirt or foreign matter
from the wheel contact 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.
2. Install the tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.
Tighten the wheel nuts until the
tapered portion comes into loose
contact with the disc wheel seat.
3. Lower the vehicle.
4. Firmly tighten each wheel nut
two or three times in the order
shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque:
76 ft*lbf (103 N*m, 10.5 kgf*m)
5. Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all tools.
■The compact spare tire

compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is equipped
When driving with the compact spare tire installed, the vehicle height
will
be different than when driving with standard tires.
