IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY231
—Raising your vehicle
MS41014b
6. After making sure that no one is in
the vehicle, raise it high enough so
that the spare tire can be installed.
Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare tire
than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicle, turn the jack handle
clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle
and begins to lift, double−check that it is
properly positioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when the
vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.
—Changing wheels
MS41015a
7. Remove the wheel bolts and change
tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it
aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and
align the vehicle side holes with the tire
wheel holes. Then secure the wheel with
the bolts.

MS41016a
Before putting on wheels, remove any cor-
rosion on the mounting surfaces with a
wire brush or such. Installation of wheels
without good metal−to−metal contact at the
mounting surface can cause wheel bolts to
loosen and eventually cause a wheel to
come off while driving.
—Reinstalling wheel bolts
MS41017a
8. Reinstall all the wheel bolts finger
tight.
Reinstall the wheel bolts and tighten them
as much as you can by hand. Press back
on the tire and see if you can tighten
them more.
CAUTION
Never use oil or grease on the bolts.
Doing so may lead to overtightening
the bolts and damaging the bolts. The
bolts may loosen and the wheels may
fall off, which could cause a serious
accident. If there is oil or grease on
any bolt, clean it.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY233
—Lowering your vehicle
MS41018b
9. Lower the vehicle completely and
tighten the wheel bolts.
Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to
lower the vehicle.
Use only the wheel bolt wrench and turn
it clockwise to tighten the bolts. Do not
use other tools or any additional leverage
other than your hands, such as a hammer,
pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench
is securely engaged over the bolt.
Tighten each bolt a little at a time in the
order shown. Repeat the process until all
the bolts are tight.
CAUTION
DWhen lowering the vehicle, make
sure that all portions of your body
and all other persons around will
not be injured as the vehicle is low-
ered to the ground.
DHave the wheel bolts tightened with
torque wrench to 103 N·m (10.5
kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf), as soon as pos-
sible after changing wheels. Other-
wise, the bolts may loosen and the
wheels may fall off, which could
cause a serious accident.
DTightening the bolts too much could
cause wheel deformation or cracks,
and may result in serious accidents.
DDo not attach a heavily damaged
plastic wheel ornament. It may fly
off the wheel and cause accidents
while the vehicle is moving.

CAUTION
Steel wheels: Never use tools, such
as an Allen wrench, that are used by
applying them to a hexagonal con-
cave portion of a bolt head. Doing so
could cause bolt deformation and im-
proper installation, and may result in
serious injury.

10. Reinstall the wheel ornament.
1. Put the wheel ornament into position.
Align the cutout of the wheel ornament
with the valve stem as shown.
2. Press hand firmly on one side of wheel
ornament and then firmly tap the other
side, around the edge of the wheel
ornament, with the heel of your hand
to snap into place.
CAUTION
DTake due care in handling the orna-
ment to avoid unexpected personal
injury.
DDo not attach a heavily damaged
plastic wheel ornament. It may fly
off the wheel and cause accidents
while the vehicle is moving.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY235
—After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifica-
tions designated on page 299 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 valve
cap as dirt and moisture could get into
the 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 as possible after changing
wheels, tighten the wheel bolts to the
torque specified on page 299 in Section
8 with a torque wrench. Have a technician
repair the flat tire and replace the spare
tire with it.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
placed in their storage locations to
reduce the possibility of death or se-
rious injury during sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
PS41515
Aluminium wheels:
Before stowing the flat tire, remove the
center wheel ornament by pushing from
the reverse side.
Be careful not to lose the wheel ornament.

236IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt
to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.
NOTICE
If you rock your vehicle, observe the
following precautions to prevent dam-
age to the transmission and other
parts.
zDo not race the engine and avoid
spinning the wheels.
zIf your vehicle remains stuck after
rocking the vehicle several times,
consider other ways such as tow-
ing.
MS41002
(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck—
—From rear
(b) Using flat bed truck
—From front
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you have it done by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or qualified
professional, such as a commercial tow
truck service. In consultation with them,
have your vehicle towed using either (a)
or (b).
Only when you cannot receive a towing
service from any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or qualified profes-
sional, such as a commercial tow truck
service, tow your vehicle carefully in
accordance with the instructions given
in “—Emergency towing” on page 238
in this Section.
AYGO WE 99E37E11 02.18
If your vehicle becomes
stuckIf your vehicle needs to be
towed—

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY237
Proper equipment will help ensure that
your vehicle is not damaged while being
towed. Commercial operators are generally
aware of the state/provincial and local
laws pertaining to towing.
Your vehicle could be damaged if it is
towed incorrectly. Although most operators
know the correct procedure, it is possible
to make a mistake. To avoid damage to
your vehicle, make sure the following pre-
cautions are observed. If necessary, show
this page to the tow truck driver.
TOWING PRECAUTIONS:
Use a safety chain system for all towing,
and abide by the state/provincial and local
laws. The wheels and axle on the ground
must be in good condition. If they are
damaged, use a towing dolly.
(a) Towing with wheel lift type truck
From front—Release the parking brake.
NOTICE
When lifting wheels, take care to en-
sure adequate ground clearance for
towing at the opposite end of the
raised vehicle. Otherwise, the bumper
and/or underbody of the towed vehicle
may be damaged during towing.
From rear—
DManual transmission:
We recommend using a towing dolly
under the front wheels. If you do not
use a towing dolly, place the engine
switch in the “ACC” position and put
the transmission in neutral.
DMulti−mode manual transmission:
We recommend using a towing dolly.
The towing dolly is set up under the
front wheels. If you do not use the
towing dolly (or if it is not available),
first turn the engine switch “ON” and
shift the shift lever to “N”. Make sure
that the gear is in the “N” position by
checking the gear position indicator.
Multi−mode manual transmission only:
After shifting the shift lever to the “N”
position, always make sure that the gear
is actually disengaged and is in neutral by
pushing the vehicle by hand or other
means. In case the gear can not be put
in neutral, turn the engine switch from the
“OFF” to “ON” position, and operate the
shift lever once from “N” to “E”, “M” or
“R”, then back to “N” again. Then turn the
engine switch from the “ON” to “OFF”
position. These procedures may help put
the gear in neutral. If the gear still can
not be put in neutral, you can not tow
without a towing dolly.
NOTICE
Do not tow with the key removed or
in the “LOCK” position when towing
from the rear without a towing dolly.
The steering lock mechanism is not
strong enough to hold the front
wheels straight.
(b) Using a flat bed truck

—Emergency towing
MS41062
If towing is necessary, we recommend
you to have it done by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or qualified
professional, such as a commercial tow
truck service.
If a towing service is not available in
an emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed by a cable or chain
secured to the right emergency towing
eyelet on the front of the vehicle. Use
extreme caution when towing vehicles.
To install the front towing eyelet, see
“—Installing front towing eyelet” on page
240 in this Section.
NOTICE
Only use the specified towing eyelets;
otherwise your vehicle may be dam-
aged.
A driver must be in the vehicle to steer
it and operate the brakes.
Towing in this manner may be done only
on hard−surfaced roads for short dis-
tances and at low speeds. Also, the
wheels, axles, drive train, steering and
brakes must all be in good condition.
