NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire

performance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire p ressure
warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled cor rectly.

When a tire is repaired with liqui d sealants, the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sea lant is
used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon
as possible. Make sure to replac e the tire pressure warning valve and

underbody.
●Securely tighten the spare tire clamp bolt to hold the spare wh eel car-
rier by the hook.
●Stow the flat tire in the spare tire location. Failure to do so may cause
damage to the spare tire carrier. Proper storage reduces the po ssibility

the hoist assembly and the wire cable cannot be raised or lower ed,
contact your Toyota dealer.
