a. Using the illustration as a guide, run
your fingers across the luggage compart-
ment floor itself to locate the position of
the bolts underneath.
b. Remove the bolt.
c. Insert a 10 mm (0.4 in.) spacer and
tighten down the anchor bracket for your
child restraint system with a bolt. Torque
the bolt to 16.5—24.7 N⋅m (1.68—2.52
kgf⋅m, 12.2—18.2 ft⋅lbf).
This model sold in Canada is provided
with a bracket set in the glove box, de-
signed for use with any of the 2 anchor
locations shown in the illustration.
If your child restraint system does not
provide any of the necessary parts, ask
your Toyota dealer. (See ”—Child restraint
system”.)
If you remove the anchor brackets when
the child restraint system is necessary no
longer, replace the bolts in the holes to
prevent entry of exhaust emissions, water
or dirt.

—Reinstalling wheel ornament
10. Reinstall the wheel ornament.
Put the wheel ornament into position and
then tap it firmly with the side or heel of
your hand to snap it into place.
CAUTION
Take due care in handling the orna-
ment to avoid unexpected personal
injure.
—After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designated in Section 8. If the pressure is
lower, drive slowly to the nearest service
station and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
valve cap as dirt and moisture could get
into the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat
tire securely.
As soon after changing wheels as pos-
sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque
specified in Section 8 with a torque
wrench, have a technician repair the flat
tire and replace the spare tire with it.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
in place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of personal in-
jury during a collision or sudden
braking.
