mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specification at each lubrication interval.
Adjust tire pressure to the COLD pressure.
COLD pressure:
After vehicle has been parked for three
hours or more or driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label affixed to
the driver side center pillar.
For models equipped with the low tire
pressure warning system:
After adjusting tire pressure to the COLD tire
pressure, the display of the tire pressure infor-
mation may show higher pressure than the
COLD tire pressure after the vehicle has been
driven more than 1 mile (1.6 km). This is because
the tire pressurizes as the tire temperature rises.
This does not indicate a system malfunction.5. Securely store the flat tire and jacking equip-
ment in the vehicle.
6. Close the floor cover.
WARNING

Always make sure that the spare tire
and jacking equipment are properly

The spare tire is designed for emer-
gency use. See specific instructions

jacking tools.
Make sure that the hook is properly secured in
the stored place after use.

vehicle at an angle.

Pulling devices such as ropes or canvas
straps are not recommended for use in ve-
