Remove all the wheel nuts and
the tire.
When resting the tire on the
ground, place the tire so that the
wheel design faces up to avoid
scratching the wheel surface.
Installing the spare tire
Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.
If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact surface, the wheel nuts
may loosen while the vehicle is
in motion, causing the tire to
come off.
Install the spare tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by
hand by approximately the same amount.When replacing an aluminum
wheel with a steel wheel, tighten
the wheel nuts until the tapered
portion comes into loose contact
with the disc wheel seat.

CAUTION
■Using the jack handle
Tighten all the jack handle bolts securely using a Phillips-head screw-
driver, to prevent the extension parts from coming apart unexpectedly.
■Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury.
●Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it from
under the vehicle.
●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.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a
serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
●Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 83 ft•lbf (110
N•m, 11.5 kgf•m) as soon as
possible after changing wheels.
●Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
●When installing a tire, only use whee l nuts that have been specifically
designed for that wheel.
●If there are any cracks or deformatio ns in the bolt screws, nut threads
or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall off, result ing in death or serious injury.

NOTICE
■Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.

■When stowing the flat tire
Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle
underbody.
■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.

If the vehicle becomes stuck
CAUTION
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the sur-
rounding area is clear to avoid striki ng other vehicles, objects or people. The
vehicle may also lunge forward or lu nge back suddenly as it becomes free.
Use extreme caution.
■ When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may
cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damage to the transmission and other components
● Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more
than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt or snow:
Stop the engine. Set the parki ng brake and shift the shift
lever to P.
Remove the mud, snow or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material under the tires
to help provide traction.
Restart the engine.
Shift the shift lever to the D or R position and carefully apply
the accelerator to free the vehicle.
Turn off TRAC (TRC) and VSC if these functions are hampering
your attempts to free the vehicle. ( P. 255)
