Changing a Flat Tire
Park on a level surface off the right-of-way and firmly set the park-
ing brake.
Put  a  vehicle  with  an  automatic  transaxle  in  Park  (P),  a  manual
transaxle in Reverse (R) or 1, and turn off the engine.
Turn on the hazard warning flasher.
Have  everyone  get  out  of  the  vehicle  and  away  from  the  vehicle
and traffic.
Remove the jack, tool, and spare tire ( P. 457).
Block  the  wheel  diagonally
opposite  the  flat  tire.  When
blocking  a  wheel,  place  a  tire
block  both  in  front  and  behind
the tire.
When  blocking  a  tire,  use  rocks
or wood blocks of sufficient size if
possible to hold the tire in place.
●If the following occurs while dri ving, it could indicate a flat tire.
• Steering becomes difficult.
• The vehicle begins to  vibrate excessively.
• The vehicle pulls in one direction.
●Make sure the jack is well lu bricated before using it.
If you have a flat tire, drive slowly to a level spot that is w ell off
the road and out of the way of traffic to change the tire.
Stopping  in  traffic  or  on  the  shoulder  of  a  busy  road  is  danger-
ous.

Continue  raising  the  jack  head
gradually  by  rotating  the  screw
with  your  hand  until  the  jack
head is inserted into the jack-up
position.
When raising the jack head into the
jacking  position  and  aligning  the
groove in the jack head with the rail
under  the  vehicle  body,  the  top  of
the  jack  head  contacts  the  vehi-
cle’s  underbody  without  the  rail
contacting  the  bottom  of  the
groove.
Insert the jack lever and attach
the lug wrench to tire jack.
Turn  the  jack  handle  clockwise
and  raise  the  vehicle  high
enough  so  that  the  spare  tire
can  be  installed.  Before  remov-
ing  the  lug  nuts,  make  sure
your  Toyota  is  firmly  in  position
and that it cannot slip or move.
Remove  the  lug  nuts  by  turning  them  counterclockwise;  then
remove the wheel  and center cap.

If Trouble Arises
If your Toyota is equipped with the optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, a
special key must be used to unlock the locking lug nut for each  wheel.
The  key  is  stored  in  the  glove  compartment,  center  console  stor age,
storage box, or trunk. Register the key and lug nuts with the l ock man-
ufacturer by filling out  the  r egistration card and mailing it  i n using the
accompanying envelope. If the ke y is lost, consult your Toyota dealer
or use the lock manufacturer’s order form to order a new key. A ntitheft
wheel  lug  nuts  cannot  be  installed  on  a  steel  wheel  spare  tire.  When
installing  a  temporary  spare  tire,  use  one  of  the  original  lug  nuts  in
place  of  the  locking  lug  nut.  The  original  lug  nuts  are  stored  inside
your Toyota.

WARNING
■Make  sure  the  mounting  surfaces  of  the  wheel,  hub  and  lug  nuts
are clean before changing or replacing tires
When changing or replacing a tire , not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting  surfaces  of  the  wheel,  hub  and  hub  bolts  is  dangerous.  The
lug nuts could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come  off, result-
ing in an accident.
■Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts and do not tig hten
the lug nuts beyond the r ecommended tightening torque
Applying  oil  or  grease  to  lug  nuts  and  bolts  is  dangerous. The  lug  nuts
could loosen while dri ving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident.  In  addition,  lug  nuts  and  bolts  could  be  damaged  if  t ightened
more than necessary.
■Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
Improperly  or  loosely  tightened  lug  nuts  are  dangerous.  The  whe el
could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle  control and
cause a serious accident.
■Be  sure  to  reinstall  the  same  nuts  you  removed  or  replace  them
with metric nuts of the  same configuration
Because  the  wheel  studs  and  lug  nuts  on  your  Toyota  have  metric
threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On  a metric stud, it would
not  secure  the  wheel  and  would  damage  the  stud,  which  could  cau se
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
■Do not drive with any tires th at have incorrect air pressure
Driving  on  tires  with  incorrect  air  pressure  is  dangerous.  Tire s  with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accid ent. When
you check the regular tires’ air pressure, check the spare tire , too.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Tire Maintenance
Improper or inadequate vehicle maintenance can cause tires to w ear
abnormally. Here are some important maintenance points:
Inspect  all  tire  pressure  monthly  (including  the  spare)  when  th e  tires
are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, top  han-
dling,  and  minimum  tire  wear.  Use  the  pressures  specified  on  th e
vehicle tire information placard  or tire label for optimum service.
To  equalize  tire  wear  and  extend
tire  life,  Toyota  recommends  that
tire  rotation  is  carried  out  at  the
same interval as tire inspection.
Inspect the tires for uneven w ear and damage. Abnormal wear is  usu-
ally caused by one or a combination of the following: • Incorrect tire pressure
• Improper wheel alignment
• Out-of-balance wheel
• Severe braking
After  rotation,  inflate  all  tire  pressures  to  specification  ( P.  553)  and
inspect the lug nu ts for tightness.

Do not include 
(TEMPORARY USE ONLY) 
spare tire in rotation.
NOTICE
Rotate  unidirectional  tires  and  radial  tires  that  have  an  asymm etrical
tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side t o side. Tire
performance will be weak ened if rotated from side to side.
