Place chocks or other suitable
objects in front of and behind the
wheel directly opposite to the one
being changed.
If it is necessary to change a wheel
on a slight downhill slope, place
chocks and other suitable objects,
for example stones, under the
wheels of the front and rear axles in
the opposite direction to the direc-
tion of roll.
The wheel locking bolts have a spe-cial coding. The blots can only be
released with the adapter that
matches the coding.
The adapter of the thiefproof wheel
studs can be found in the on-board
tool kit or in an oddments tray in the

2Stow the faulty wheel in the
boot, if necessary.
Due to its size, the faulty wheel cannot
be accommodated under the boot floor.
3Check tyre inflation pressure at
the next opportunity and correct
as necessary.
4Reset the Tyre Pressure Monitor
(TPM).
5Check the tight fit of the wheel
studs using a calibrated torque
wrench.
6Drive to the nearest any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any relia-ble repairer to have the dam-
aged tyre replaced.
In case of a flat tyre, the emergency
wheel can be used as a replace-
ment for the defective tyre. The
emergency wheel is intended for
short-term use until the defective
wheel has been replaced.
Only fit one emergency wheel at
most.
Additionally, regularly check the
tyre inflation pressure of the emer-
gency wheel in the boot and correct
the pressure if necessary. After changing the wheel
