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
a torque wrench to 131 N·m (13.4
kgf·m, 96.6 ft·lbf), as soon as pos-
sible after changing wheels. Other-
wise, the nuts may loosen and the
wheels may fall off, which could
cause a serious accident.
—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
injury.
—After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re- placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designated on page 298. If the pressure
is lower, drive slowly to the nearest ser-
vice station and fill to the correct pres-
sure.
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 on page 298 with a torque
wrench. Have a technician repair the flat
tire.
This is the same procedure for changing
or rotating your tires.
