WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do  not  touch  the  disc  wheels  or  the  area  around  the  brakes  immedi-
ately after the vehi cle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area  around
the brakes will be extremely hot.  Touching these areas with hands, feet
or other body parts while changin g a tire, etc. may result in burns.
●Failure  to  follow  these  precautions  could  cause  the  wheel  nuts  to
loosen and the t ire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have  the  wheel  nuts  tightened  with  a  torque  wrench  to  76  ft•lb f
(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  spe cifi-
cally designed for that wheel.
• If  there  are  any  cracks  or  defo rmations  in  the  bolt  screws,  nut
threads  or  bolt  holes  of  the  wheel,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by
your Toyota dealer.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install the wheel n uts with
the tapered ends facing inward.
