If Trouble Arises
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.
