WARNINGl Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If
it is opened quickly, the vehicle will drop
abruptly and the jack may come out of position, causing a serious accident.CAUTIONl If the release valve is loosened too much (2
or more turns) in the anticlockwise direction, the jack’s oil will leak and the jack cannot
be used.CAUTIONl Close the release valve slowly when lower-
ing the vehicle, or the valve may be dam-
aged.NOTEl Occasionally when the vehicle is jacked up,
the grooved portion of the designated pointwill not come off. When this happens, rock

sert the jack handle (L) into the bracket (M).
Then using the handle, remove the jack.WARNINGl Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.WARNINGl Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
l Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
l Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
l The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
l No one should be in your vehicle when us-

The spare wheel is stored under the floor of the cargo 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 10-12.)
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can always be used under any conditions (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 8-13.)
2. Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole (B)
below the rear gate.
3. Securely insert the pin (C) on the jack
handle into the holder (D) of the spare
wheel carrier.

3. After winding up the spare wheel suffi-
ciently, make sure it is not loose (the tightening torque should be approxi-
mately 40 Nm) then withdraw the jack
handle, taking care not to turn it in the
reverse direction.
CAUTIONl The spare wheel should always be securely
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 firmly.How to change a tyre

8.Find the closest jacking point to the flat
tyre (refer to “Jacking up the vehicle” on page 8-13). Then position the jack and
raise the vehicle until the tyre is slightly off the ground.
9. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.CAUTIONl Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
10. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (C), hub bolts (D) or in the installa- tion holes (E) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare wheel.
WARNINGl Mount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (F) facing outboard. If you cannot see the valve stem (F), you have installed
the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident.

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) un-
til 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 until the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with the seats of the wheel holes and the wheel is not
loose.
