CAUTION
■Replacing a flat tire
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it from under the vehicle.
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in handling the ornament to avoi d unexpected personal 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 extremel y hot. Touching these areas with
hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc., may
result in burns.
●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 as soon as pos- sible after changing wheels.
Steel wheel: 154 ft·lbf (209 N·m, 21.3 kgf·m)
Aluminum wheel: 97 ft·lbf (131 N·m, 13.4 kgf·m)
• When installing a tire, only use w heel nuts that have been specifi-
cally designed for that wheel.
• Retighten the wheel nuts within 100 miles (160 km) of driving.
• If there are any cracks or deforma tions in the bolt screws, nut
threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off
the wheel while the vehicle is moving.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the
tapered ends facing inward. ( →P. 438)
