Tighten each nut a little at a time in
the order shown. Repeat the process
until all the nuts are tight.
CAUTION

When lowering the vehicle,
make sure all portions of your
body and all other persons
around will not be injured as
the vehicle is lowered to the
ground.

Have the wheel nuts tightened
with torque wrench to 103 N´m
(10.5 kgf´m, 76 ft´lbf), as soon
as possible after changing
wheels. Otherwise, the nuts
may loosen and the wheels
may fall off, which could cause
a serious accident.
Ty p e A
Ty p e B10.Reinstall the wheel ornament.
1. Put the wheel ornament into posi-
tion.
2. Then tap it firmly with the side or
heel of your hand to snap it into
place.
CAUTION
Take due care in handling the or-
nament to avoid unexpected per-
sonal injury.

11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 410 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 infla-
tion 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
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 410 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire and re-
place the spare tire with it.
Initial adjustment of the tire pres-
sure warning system is necessary
after you have replaced your tires
or wheels. See Tire pressure
warning systemº on page 161 in
Section 1- 7.CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are se-
curely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden braking.
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
Two- wheel drive modelsÐ
Turn off the traction control system to
become unstuck to allow the tires to
spin enough to remove the vehicle from
the obstruction. (For details, see Trac-
tion control system (two- wheel drive
models)º on page 156 in Section 1- 7.)
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.

inflate the front and rear tires to the following tire inflation pressure provided
that it does not exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure molded
on the tire sidewall.

VSC and Tire Pressure Warning System
1. ABS Operation
If the brake pedal is depressed suddenly, the ABS controls the hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinders for all the four
wheels to automatically avoid wheel locking and ensure the directional and steering stability of the vehicle. If the brake pedal
is depressed suddenly, the skid control ECU with actuator controls the solenoids in the actuators using the signals from the
sensors to move the brake fluid to the reservoir in order to release the braking pressure applied to the wheel cylinder. If the
skid control ECU with actuator detects that the fluid pressure in the wheel cylinder is insufficient, the ECU controls the
solenoids in the actuators to increase the braking pressure.
2. Traction Control Operation
The traction control system controls the engine torque, the hydraulic pressure of the driving wheel cylinders, slipping of the
wheels which may occur at start or acceleration of the vehicle, to ensure an optimal driving power and vehicle stability
corresponding to the road conditions.
3. VSC Operation
Unexpected road conditions, vehicle speed, emergency situation, and any other external factors may cause large under- or
over-steering of the vehicle. If this occurs, the VSC system automatically controls the engine power and wheel brakes to
reduce the under- or over-steering.
To reduce large over-steering :
If the VSC system determines that the over-steering is large, it activates the brakes for the outer front turning wheels
depending on the degree of the over-steering to produce the moment toward the outside of the vehicle and reduce the
over-steering.
To reduce large under-steering :
If the VSC system determines that the under-steering is large, it controls the engine power and activates the rear wheel
brakes to reduce the under-steering.
VSC indicator light
If an mulfunction occurs in the VSC system, the VSC indicator lights up to warn the driver.
4. Mutual System Control
To efficiently operate the VSC system at its optimal level, the VSC system and other control systems are mutually controlled
while the VSC system is being operated.
Engine control
The engine power does not interfere with the VSC brake control by fuel cut controlling and reducing the engine output.
Engine control and electronically controlled transmission control
The strong braking force does not interfere with the braking force control of the VSC system by turning off the accel and
reducing changes in the driving torque at shift-down.
VSC system operation indication
The slip indicator light flashes and the buzzer alarm intermittently to warn the driver that the current road is slippery, while the
VSC system is being operated.
5. Fail Safe Function
If an mulfunction occurs in the skid control ECU with actuator, sensor signals, and/or actuators, the skid control ECU with
actuator inhibits the brake actuator control and inputs the mulfunction signal to the engine control module. According to the
mulfunction signal, the brake actuator turns off the solenoid and the engine control module rejects any electronically
controlled request from the VSC system. As a result, the vehicle functions without the ABS, BA, TRAC, and VSC systems.
