CAUTION
■Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury:
●Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi-
ately after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around
the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet
or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
●Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf
(103 N
•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
●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 Scion
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.
■When installing the wheel nuts
Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the tapered end facing inward.
( P. 251)
■After using the tools and jack

their storage location to reduce the po ssibility of personal injury during a
collision or sudden braking.

●Make sure the rear seats are in their original position.
●When carrying the flat tire, secure it using a tire tie-down belts. Other-
