WARNING
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation p ressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has t ires of a dif-
ferent size than the size indica ted on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should de termine
the proper tire inflation p ressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS -tire pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Acco rdingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning ligh t) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible , and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread lif e, and may
affect the vehicle’s handl ing and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintena nce, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warn-
ing system) malfunction indicato r to indicate when the system is not
operating properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) mal func-
tion indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the tell tale will
flash for approximately one mi nute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle star t-ups
as long as the malfunction exists . When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tir e pres-
sure as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or al ternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure w arning
system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunction telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning sys tem) to
continue to function properly.

HIGHLANDER_U
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire
Remove the inside spare tire
cover.
Fully depress the secondary
latch (A) and remove the hold-
ing bracket (B) from the hoist
assembly (C).
Tilt the holding bracket (B) so
that it can easily be passed
through the wheel opening.
After passing the holding
bracket through the wheel
opening, remove the hoist
assembly (C).

6248-2. Steps to take in an emergency
HIGHLANDER_U
Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.
If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact surface, the wheel nuts
may loosen while the vehicle is in
motion, causing the tire to come
off.
Install the spare tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.
Vehicles with a compact spare tire
Tighten the nuts until the
tapered portion comes into
loose contact with the disc
wheel seat.
Vehicles with a full-size spare tire
Turn the nuts until the washers
come into contact with the
wheel.

HIGHLANDER_U
Remove the center wheel ornament by pushing from the reverse
side.
Be careful not to lose the wheel ornament.
Stand the tire against the
bumper with the inner surface
facing toward you and install
the outside spare tire cover.
Pass the hoist assembly (C)
and holding bracket (B) through
the wheel opening.
WARNING
■ Stowing the flat tire
Failure to follow steps listed under stowing the tire may resul t in damage to
the spare tire carrier and loss of the tire, which could result in serious injury
or death.
