WARNING
■ Replacing a flat tire
● Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:
• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
• 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 103 N•m (10.5
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheel may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death or
serious injury.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install the wheel nuts with the
tapered ends facing inward. ( P. 489)

■The full-size spare tire
● On vehicles with a tire pressure warning system, the full-size spare tire has
a “Temporary use only” label on the outer surface of the wheel.
Use the full-size spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
● Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the full-size spare tire.
( P. 623)
■ The compact spare tire
● The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
● Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P. 623)
■ When using the spare tire (vehicles with tire pressure warning system)
As the spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve and trans-
mitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be indicated by the tire
pressure warning system. Also, if you repl ace the spare tire after the tire pres-
sure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
■ If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehicles
with compact spare tire)
Install the compact spare tire on the rear of the vehicle. Perform the following
steps and fit tire chains to the front tires.
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
