Spare wheelE00801100094
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of the car-
go bed.
A- Spare wheel
CAUTIONl When removing the spare wheel, put on
gloves. Removing the spare wheel with
your bare hands may cause injury to the
fingers.CAUTIONl 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.

5.Remove the hanger disc (G) from the spare
wheel.
To install
1.Install the hanger disc (A) in the wheel disc
hole.
2. Turn the wheel nut wrench (B) clockwise to
wind up the chain.
NOTE
l Confirm that the hanger disc is securely fit-
ted in the wheel disc hole when the wheel is
just lifted off the ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel sufficient-
ly, make sure it is not loose (the tightening
torque should be approximately 40 Nm) then
withdraw the jack handle, taking care not to
turn it in the reverse direction.
CAUTIONl The spare wheel should always be secure-
ly in position.
If a flat tyre is changed, put the flat tyre
in the spare wheel mounting position
with the wheel outer surface upward, and
use the wheel nut wrench to secure it firm-
ly.How to change a tyre E00801202653
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehicle in a
safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable ground.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission, turn
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.

11.Finger-tighten the wheel nuts. (Turn them
clockwise.)

Vehicles with steel wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (tapered nuts) until
the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose.
With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts in
the same way.
Vehicles with aluminium wheels
Tighten the wheel nuts (flange nuts) until the
flanges of the wheel nuts touch the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.Normal wheels and spare wheel
(aluminium wheels)
With a spare wheel, tighten the wheel nuts un-
til the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make
light contact with the seats of the wheel
holes and the wheel is not loose.
Spare wheel (steel wheels)
CAUTIONl Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts
or the nuts, or they will tighten too much.
NOTE
l Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
spare wheel, but return to the original wheel
and tyre as soon as possible.
l If all four aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, use tapered nuts.
12. Lower the vehicle slowly and then tighten
the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps until each
nut has been tightened securely.
Tightening torqueSteel wheel: 137 to 157 Nm
Aluminium wheel: 118 to 137 Nm
( Achieved by applying a force at the end
of the wheel nut wrench supplied with
the vehicle.
Steel wheel: 510 to 580 N
Aluminium wheel: 440 to 500 N)
Five wheel nuts

Towing with rear wheels off the ground (Type C)
Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion (manual transmission) or the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (automatic transmis-
sion). Turn the ignition key to the “ACC” position
and secure the steering wheel in a straight ahead po-
sition with a rope or tie-down strap. Never place
the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position when
towing.
Emergency towing
If towing service is not available in an emergency,
your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a cable
or chain secured to the towing hook.
If your vehicle is to be towed by another vehicle,
pay careful attention to the following points.
If your vehicle is to be towed by anoth-
er vehicle 1.The front towing hooks (A) and rear towing
hook (B) are located as shown in the illustra-
tion. Secure the tow rope to the towing hook.

Front (2WD vehicles with 15 inch wheels)Front (2WD vehicles with 16 inch wheels and
4WD vehicles)Rear*
NOTE
l Using any part other than the designated tow-
ing hooks could result in damage to the vehi-
cle body.
l Using a wire rope or metal chain can result
in damage to the vehicle body. It is best to
use a non-metallic rope. If you use a wire
rope or metal chain, wrap it with cloth at any
point where it touches the vehicle body.
l Take care that the tow rope is kept as horizon-
tal as possible. An angled tow rope can dam-
age the vehicle body.
l Secure the tow rope to the same side towing
hook, to keep the tow rope as straight as pos-
sible.
2. Keep the engine running. If the engine is not running, turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “ON” position to un-
lock the steering wheel.CAUTIONl When the engine is not running, the
brake booster and power steering pump
do not operate. This means higher brake
depression force and higher steering ef-
fort are required. Therefore, vehicle oper-
ation is more difficult than usual.
l Do not leave the key in the “LOCK” posi-
tion. The steering wheel will lock, causing
loss of control.
3. Place the gearshift lever in the “N” (Neutral)
position (manual transmission) or the selec-
tor lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (au-
tomatic transmission).
4. On 4WD vehicles, the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position.
5. Turn on the hazard warning lamps if required by law.
( Follow the local driving laws and regula-
tions.)
6. During towing make sure that close contact
is maintained between the drivers of both ve-
hicles, and that the vehicles travel at low
speed.

WARNINGlTo prevent entry of exhaust gas from the
towing vehicle, set your air selection lever
to the recirculation position.
l Avoid sudden braking, sudden accelera-
tion and sharp turning; such operation
could cause damage to the towing hooks
or the tow rope.
People in the vicinity could be injured as
a result.
l When towing or being towed down a long
slope, the brakes may overheat reducing
the effectiveness. In this situation, have
your vehicle transported by a tow truck.
l When the vehicle with automatic trans-
mission is to be towed by another vehicle
with all the wheels on the ground, make
sure that the towing speed and distance
given below are never exceeded, causing
damage to the transmission.

Towing speed: 50 km/h (30 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (30 miles)

For the towing speed and the towing dis-
tance, follow the local driving laws and
regulations.
If your vehicle tows another vehicle (vehicles with
rear towing hook only)
The rear towing hook is located as shown in the il-
lustration. Secure the tow rope to the rear towing
hook.
NOTE
l Using any part other than the designated tow-
ing hook could result in damage to the vehi-
cle body.CAUTIONl On vehicles with super select 4WD, when
you are going to tow another vehicle,
move the transfer shift lever to “4H” posi-
tion.
Selecting “2H” drive may increase the dif-
ferential oil temperature, resulting in pos-
sible damage to the driving system.
Further, the drive train will be subjected
to excessive loading possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.NOTE
l Your vehicle should only be used to tow an-
other vehicle if the weight of the other vehi-
cle is less than the weight of your vehicle.
