WARNING
■
Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven.

other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
● Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
● Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 120 N
•m (12.2
kgf
•m, 89 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered ends facing inward. ( →P. 355)
