The tire pressure warning light comes on
when the engine switch is turned to the
“ON” position and goes off after a few
seconds. This means the tire pressure
warning system is operating properly. If
the tire inflation pressure becomes low,
the light comes on again. In this case,
adjusting the tire inflation pressure will
turn off the light after several minutes. If
the light comes on after blinking for 1
minute, the tire pressure warning system
is not working properly.

CAUTION
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on, be sure to observe the
following precautions. Failure to do
so could cause loss of vehicle control
and result in death or serious injury.
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible. Adjust the tire
inflation pressure immediately.
If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, it is probable
that you have a flat tire. Check the
tires. If the tire is flat, change to
the temporary spare tire and have
the flat tire repaired by the nearest
Toyota dealer.
Avoid abrupt maneuvering and brak-
ing. If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the steer-
ing wheel or the brakes.

end (Type A) or jack handle exten-
sion No.2 (Type B) into the lower-
ing screw and turn it counterclock-
wise.
3. After the tire is lowered completely to the ground, remove the holding
bracket.
When storing the temporary spare
tire, put it in place with the outer side
of the wheel facing up. Then secure
the tire, taking care that the tire goes
straight up without catching on any
other part, to prevent it from flying for-
ward during a collision or sudden
braking.
Keep winding until three clicks are
heard.

2. Block the wheel diagonally op- posite the flat tire to keep the
vehicle from rolling when it is
jacked up.
When blocking the wheel, place a
wheel block in front of one of the front
wheels or behind one of the rear
wheels.

5. After making sure that no one is in the vehicle, as the jack
touches the vehicle and begins
to lift, doublecheck that it is
properly positioned.

groove on the top of the jack fits with
the rear axle housing.

6. After making sure that no one is in the vehicle, raise it high
enough so that the temporary
spare tire can be installed.
Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the tempo-
rary spare tire than when removing
the flat tire.
—Raising your vehicle

To raise the vehicle, insert the jack
handle end with the extension into the
jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clock-
wise with the handle. As the jack
touches the vehicle and begins to lift,
double −check that it is properly posi-
tioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when
the vehicle is supported by the
jack alone.

7. Remove the wheel nuts and change tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it
aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and
align the holes in the wheel with the
bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get
at least the top bolt started through
its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it
back over the other bolts.

Before putting on wheels, remove any
corrosion on the mounting surfaces
with a wire brush or such. Installation
of wheels without good metal− to−met-
al contact at the mounting surface can
cause wheel nuts to loosen and
eventually cause a wheel to come off
while driving.

Torque specification:
Taper type (Steel wheels)—
209 N· m (21. 3 kgf · m , 154 ft · lbf )
Flat washer type
(Aluminum wheels)—
131 N·m (13.4 kgf·m, 97 ft·lbf)
∗
∗
: When temporarily used on spare tire/wheel, apply 209 N·m (21.3
kgf·m, 154 ft·lbf) 10.Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressu re to the specifi-
cation designated on page 594 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.
11. 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 515 with a
torque wrench. Have a technician re-
pair the flat tire and replace the tem-
porary spare tire with it. Initial adjustment of the tire
pressure warning system is
necessary after your have replaced
your tires or wheels. See “Tire
pressure warning system” on page
254 in Section 17.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.
