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.
