When trouble arises
When replacing tires on a vehicle with
wheel lock nuts, use the following pro-
cedures to remove and install the
wheel lock nuts. The wheel lock key is
stored in the tray inside the luggage
compartment. Always return the wheel
lock key to its original position after
use, so that it does not get lost.
■Removal
For ease of removal, the wheel lock nut
should always be the first one loos-
ened.
1 Place the wheel lock key on top of
the wheel lock nut, turning until the
wheel lock key and wheel lock nut
patterns engage.
2 Place the wheel nut wrench on the
wheel lock key, and while applying pressure on the wheel lock key,
loosen the wheel lock nut.
■Installation
For ease of installation, the wheel lock
nut should always be the last one tight-
ened.
1 By hand, install a wheel lock nut on
each wheel.
2 Place the wheel lock key on top of
the wheel lock nut, turning until the
wheel lock key and wheel lock nut
patterns engage.
3 Place the wheel nut wrench on the
wheel lock key, and while applying
pressure on the wheel lock key,
tighten the wheel lock nut to the
recommended torque.
1 Open the trunk.
2 Pull the lever upwards when lifting
the luggage mat up.
WARNING
●Do not start the hybrid system or drive
the vehicle while the vehicle is sup-

Taking out the jack

3847-2. Steps to take in an emergency
1Remove any dirt or foreign matter
from the wheel contact surface.
If foreign matter is on the wheel contact
surface, the wheel nuts may loosen while
the vehicle is in motion, causing the tire to come off.
2
Install the spare tire and loosely
tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.
Tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered
portion comes into loose contact with
the disc wheel seat .
3Lower the vehicle.
4 Firmly tighten each wheel nut two
or three times in the order shown in
the illustration.
Tightening torque:
WARNING
●Failure to follow these precautions
could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall of f, resulting in death
or serious injury.
• Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
Oil and grease may cause the wheel
nuts to be excessively tightened, lead-
ing to bolt or disc wheel damage. In
addition, the oil or grease can cause
the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel
may fall off, causing a serious accident.
Remove any oil or grease from the
wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m,
10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after
changing wheels.
• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifically
designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt
holes of the wheel, have the vehicle
inspected by your Lexus dealer.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
