How to change a tyre
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi- cle in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF, and move the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or put the operation mode in OFF.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
jacking up the vehicle, place chocks or blocks (A) at the tyre that is diagonallyopposite from the tyre (B) you are
changing.:ARN,NGz Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.NOTEz The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
z If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack, jack handle and wheel nut
wrench ready.
Refer to “Tools, jack and jack handle” on page 8-12.

Spare wheel information
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of
the cargo bed.
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre- quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it canalways be used under any conditions (city/
high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
CAUT,ONz The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure
while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)To remove the spare wheel
1. Set the jack handle. (Club cab)
(Refer to “To use the jack handle (Club
cab)” on page 8-15.)
2. Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole (B)
below the rear gate.
3. Securely insert the pin (C) on the jack
handle into the holder (D) of the spare
wheel carrier.
4. Insert the wheel nut wrench (E) through
the end of the jack handle hole (F), and
then turn it anticlockwise to lower the
spare wheel completely to the ground
and to slack the chain.CAUT,ONz When removing the spare wheel, please ob-
serve the followings.
If you do not follow them, it could result in
break the spare wheel carrier.

NOTEzPut the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the flat tyre. This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.To change a tyre
1. Loosen the wheel nuts a quarter turn
with the wheel nut wrench. Do not re-
move the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points shown in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tyre you wish
to change.
A- Front jacking point
B- Rear jacking point
:ARN,NGz Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
z Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause personal injury. Always use the jack
on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand or peb-bles under the jack base.
