NOTICE
■
Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire.
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.

installed on the vehicle. (vehicles with a compact spare tire)
The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire com-
pared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over
uneven road surfaces.

Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving per-

jack handle attaches to is pointing towards the inside of the trunk. Failure to
do so may damage the vehicle body.
■ When replacing the tires

When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact
any authorized Toyota dealer or re pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible.

WARNING
■
When attempting to free a stuck vehicle

than necessary.
● If the vehicle remains stuck even after these procedures are performed,
the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
