If your vehicle has Toyota optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, one on
each wheel will lock the tires and you must use a special key to unlock
them. This key will attach to the lug wrench. Register them with the
lock manufacturer by filling out the card provided in the glove com-
partment and mailing it in the ac companying envelope. If you lose this
key, consult your Toyota dealer or use the lock manufacturer’s order
form, which is with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used on steel wheels. This includes
situations when the spare tire is inst alled. If the spare tire is installed,
one of the original lug nuts (which should still be in the vehicle) must
be installed in place of the wheel lock.

WARNING
■Make sure the mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and lug nuts
are clean before changing or replacing tires
When changing or replacing a tire, not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and hub bolts is dangerous. The
lug nuts could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, result-
ing in an accident.
■Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts and do not tighten
the lug nuts beyond the recommended tightening torque
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
■Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The wheel
could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and
cause a serious accident.
■Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them
with metric nuts of the same configuration
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts on your Toyota have metric
threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On a metric stud, it would
not secure the wheel and would damage the stud, which could cause
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
■Do not drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure
Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. When
you check the regular tires’ air pressure, check the spare tire, too.

6-6. Emergency Towing
Towing Description
A towed vehicle usually should
have its drive wheels (front
wheels) off the ground. If exces-
sive damage or other conditions
prevent this, use wheel dollies.
When towing with the rear wheels
on the ground, release the parking
brake.
We recommend that towing be done only by your Toyota dealer
or a commercial tow-truck service.
Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to
the vehicle. Government and local laws must be followed.
Wheel dollies
NOTICE
●Do not tow the vehicle pointed back-
ward with driving wheels on the ground.
This may cause internal damage to the
transaxle.
● Do not tow with sling-type equipment.
This could damage your vehicle. Use
wheel-lift or flatbed equipment.
