the ignition key to the “LOCK” position,
move the gearshift lever to the “R” (Reverse)
position.
On vehicles with automatic transmission,
move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) po-
sition, turn the ignition key to the “LOCK”
position.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and set up a warning triangle, flashing signal lamp,
etc., at an adequate distance from the vehi-
cle, and have all your passengers leave the ve-
hicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when it is raised on the jack, place chocks or blocks
(A) at the tyre that is diagonally opposite
from the tyre (B) you are changing. WARNING
l Be sure to apply chocks
or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE l The
chocks shown in the

2. Using the jack handle, turn the release valve
anticlockwise slowly to lower the ram and re-
move the jack. 3. Press the piston down all the way, and turn
the release valve clockwise as far as possible.
4. Store jack, jack handle and chocks. WARNING
l Be sure to open
the
release valve slowly.
If it is opened quickly, the vehicle will
drop abruptly and the jack may come out
of position, causing a serious accident. CAUTION
l
If the release valve
is
loosened too much
(2 or more turns) in the anticlockwise di-
rection, the jack’s oil will leak and the
jack cannot be used. CAUTION
l
Close the release valve slowly
when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.
NOTE l Occasionally
when the vehicle is

jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated point
will not come off. When this happens, rock
the vehicle to lower the ram.

sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).
Then using the handle, remove the jack. WARNING
l Stop jacking up the
vehicle
as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
l Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. WARNING
l Do not bump the raised
vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.

pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
l Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.

go bed. A- Spare wheel
CAUTION
l
When removing the spare
wheel,
put on
gloves. Removing the spare wheel with
your bare hands may cause injury to the
fingers. CAUTION
l
Check the air pressure of
the spare wheel
frequently and make sure it is ready for
emergency use at any time.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient
tyre pressure, keep your speed down and
inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as
soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures” on page 8-12.)
Maintaining the spare wheel at the high-
est specified air pressure will ensure that
it can always be used under any condi-
tions (city/high-speed driving, varying
load weight, etc.).
To remove 1. Set the jack handle. (Club

cab, Double cab
with rear retractable power window only)
(Refer to “To use the jack handle” on page
6-12.)
2. Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole (B) be- low the rear gate. 3. Securely insert the pin (C) on the jack handle
into the holder (D) of the spare wheel carrier. 4. Insert the wheel nut wrench (E) through the
end of the jack

handle hole (F), and then turn
it anticlockwise to lower the spare wheel com-
pletely to the ground and to slack the chain. For emergencies

The spare wheel should
always
be secure-
ly in position.
If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre

l Put
the spare wheel under

the vehicle body
near the flat tyre. This makes it safer if the
jack slips out of position. 7. Loosen
the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench. Do not remove the wheel nuts yet.
Five wheel nuts
