DMake sure to set the jack properly
in the jack point. Raising the ve-
hicle with the jack improperly posi-
tioned will damage the vehicle or
may allow the vehicle to fall off the
jack and cause death or serious in-
jury.
DNever get under the vehicle when
the vehicle is supported by the jack
alone.
DUse the jack only for lifting your
vehicle during wheel changing.
DDo not raise the vehicle with any-
one in the vehicle.
DWhen raising the vehicle, do not
place any objects on top of or un-
derneath the jack.

flated tire. Driving even a short dis-
tance can damage the tire and wheel
beyond repair.

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.

DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Engine and Chassis271
NOTICE
Tires may have damage to its tire
wheel when receiving impact from the
road surface. Therefore, pay attention
to the following.
zBe sure to use with proper tire
inflation pressure. If the tire infla-
tion pressure is low, the tire may
have greater damage. For detailed
information about tire inflation pres-
sure, see page 299.
zAvoid driving onto high, sharp−
edged objects and other road haz-
ards. Failure to do so can lead to
severe tire damage.
The effectiveness of snow tires is lost
if the tread wears down below 4 mm
(0.16in.).
If you have tire damage such as cuts,
splits, cracks deep enough to expose
the fabric, or bulges indicating internal
damage, the tire should be replaced.
If a tire often goes flat or cannot be prop-
erly repaired due to the size or location
of a cut or other damage, it should be
replaced. If you are not sure, consult with
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer,
or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
If air loss occurs while driving, do not
continue driving. Driving even a short dis-
tance could damage a tire beyond repair.
Any tires which are over 6 years old
must be checked by a qualified techni-
cian even if damage is not obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if they
have never or seldom been used.
This applies also to the spare tire and
tires stored for future use.REPLACING YOUR TIRES
When replacing a tire, use a tire of the
same size and construction, and the
same or greater load capacity as the
originally installed tires.
Using any other size or type of tire may
seriously affect handling, ride, speedome-
ter/odometer calibration, ground clearance,
and clearance between the body and tires
or snow chains.
CAUTION
Observe the following instructions.
Otherwise, an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious injuries.
DDo not mix radial, bias belted, or
bias−ply tires on your vehicle, as
this may cause dangerous handling
characteristics resulting in loss of
control.
DDo not use tires other than the
manufacturer ’s recommended size,
as this may cause dangerous han-
dling characteristics resulting in
loss of control.
DDo not mix tires of different makes,
models or tread patterns, and do
not mix tires of remarkably different
treadwear. This may cause danger-
ous handling characteristics result-
ing in loss of control.
Never use second−hand tires on your
To y o t a .
Using tires whose previous history is un-
known is a risk.
Toyota recommends all tires be re-
placed at a time as a set.
See “If you have a flat tire” on page 226
in Section 4 for tire change procedure.
