WARNING
■ Replacing a flat tire
● 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 103 N·m
(10.5 kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifically
designed for that wheel.
• 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. 483)
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
■ When using the compact spare tire
● Remember that your compact spare tire is specifically designed for use
with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire on another vehicle.
● Do not use more than one compact spare tire simultaneously.
● Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.
● Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.

If you have a flat tire (vehicles with emergency tire puncture repair kit)
Your vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire, but instead is
equipped with an emergency tire puncture repair kit.
A puncture caused by a nail or screw passing through the tire tread
can be repaired temporarily using the emergency tire puncture repair
kit. (The kit contains a bottle of sealant. The sealant can be used only
once to temporarily repair one ti re without removing the nail or
screw from the tire.) Depending on the damage, this kit cannot be
used to repair the tire. ( P. 586)
After temporarily repairing the tire with the kit, have the tire repaired
or replaced by any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional. Repairs conducted using
the emergency tire puncture repair kit are only a temporary measure.
Have the tire repaired and replaced as soon as possible.
■ Before repairing the vehicle
● Stop the vehicle in a safe place on a hard, flat surface.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the lever to “P” (Multidrive) or “N” (manual transmission).
