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.
10.Reinstall the wheel ornament.
Align the cutout of the wheel orna-
ment with the valve stem as shown.
Then press hand firmly on one side
of wheel ornament and then firmly tap
the other side around the edge of
wheel ornament with the heel of your
hand to snap 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 pressu re to the specifi-
cation designated on page 378 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 th e 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 378 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire and re-
place the spare tire with it.
