65 ft⋅lbf (88 N⋅m, 8.9 kgf⋅m)
Stow the tools and jack securely.
CAUTION
Using the jack
Improper use of the jack may lead to death or injuries due to the vehicle
suddenly falling off the jack.
Do not use the jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or install−

348 5−2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
Using the jack
Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle.
Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one
working on or near the vehicle will be injured.
Using the jack handle
Tighten all the square head bolts securely to prevent the extension parts
from coming apart unexpectedly.
Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury.
Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
The oil or grease can cause the wheel nuts to loosen, causing a seri−
ous accident. Remove any oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel
nuts.
Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 85 ft⋅lbf (113
N⋅m, 11.5 kgf⋅m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheels may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death
or serious injury.
Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.

NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire.
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled cor−
rectly.
Replace the grommets for the tire pressure warning valves and trans−
mitters as well.
To avoid damaging the tire pressure warning valves and transmit
ters
Do not use liquid sealants on flat tires.
To prevent damage to the wheel ornament (vehicles with a steel
wheel)
Do not attach wheel ornament to the wheel on the back door.

Tire ply composition and materials
Plies are layers of rubber−coated parallel cords. Cords are the
strands which form the plies in a tire.
Uniform tire quality grading
For details, see “Uniform tire quality grading” that follows.
Load limit at maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 380)
Maximum cold tire inflation pressure ( P. 380)
This means the pressure to which a tire may be inflated.
TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE
A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly filled in the
tire. A tube type tire has a tu be inside the tire and the tube
maintains the air pressure.
