nated pressure, turn the compressor
switch on again and repeat the inflation procedure until the specified air pres-
sure is reached.
■After a tire is re paired with the
emergency tire puncture repair kit
●The tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter should be replaced.
●Even if the tire inflat ion pressure is at
the recommended level, the tire pres - sure warning light may come on/flash.
■Taking out the jack (if equipped)

When trouble arises
4 Assemble the jack handle and
the wheel nut wrench as shown
in the illustration.
5 Raise the vehicle until the tire is
slightly raised off the ground.
6 Remove all the wheel nuts and
the tire.
When resting the tire on the ground,
place the tire so that the wheel design
faces up to avoid sc ratching the wheel surface.
1 Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur -
face.
WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or the
area around the brakes immedi - ately after the vehicle 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 changing a tire, etc. may
result in burns.
●Failure to follow these precautions
could cause the wheel nuts to
loosen and the tire to fall off, result- ing in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N•m (10.5
kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf) as soon as possible
after changing wheels.
• If there are any cracks or deforma-
tions in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of t he wheel, have the
vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered
ends facing inward.
●For vehicles with power back door:
In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to turn off the power back door system ( →P.222).
Failure to do so may cause the
back door to operate unintentionally if the power back door switch is
accidentally touched, resulting in
hands and fingers being caught and injured.
Installing the spare tire

5988-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If foreign matter is on the wheel contact
surface, the whee l 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.
Turn the wheel nuts until the washers
come into contact with the disc
wheel .
3 Lower the vehicle.
4 Firmly tighten each wheel nut
two or three times in the order
shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque: 103 N•m (10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf)
5 Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all
tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identified by
the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spar e tire temporar-
ily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation
pressure of the compact spare tire. ( →P.625)
■When using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pres -
sure of the spare tire will not be indi - cated by the tire pressure warning
system. Also, if you replace the compact
spare tire after the ti re pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle height may become lower when driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with standard
tires.

WARNING
■Avoiding 12-volt battery fires or
explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally igniting the flam -
mable gas that may be emitted from
the 12-volt battery:
●Make sure each jumper cable is
connected to the correct terminal
and that it is not unintentionally in
contact with any other than the intended terminal.
●Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable conne cted to the “+”
terminal to come into contact with
any other parts or metal surfaces in the area, such as brackets or
unpainted metal.
●Do not allow the + and - clamps of
the jumper cables to come into con -
tact with each other.
●Do not smoke, use matches, ciga -
rette lighters or allow open flame near the 12-volt battery.
■12-volt battery precautions
The 12-volt battery contains poison -
ous and corrosive acidic electrolyte,
while related part s contain lead and lead compounds. Observe the follow -
ing precautions when handling the
12-volt battery:
●When working with the 12-volt bat -
tery, always wear safety glasses
and take care not to allow any bat - tery fluids (acid) to come into con-
tact with skin, clothing or the vehicle
body.
●Do not lean over the 12-volt battery.
●In the event that battery fluid comes
into contact with the skin or eyes,
immediately wash the affected area with water and seek medical atten -
tion.
Place a wet sponge or cloth over the affected area until medical
attention can be received.
●Always wash your hands after han - dling the 12-volt battery support,
terminals, and other battery-related
parts.
●Do not allow children near the 12-
volt battery.
■After recharging the 12-volt bat -
tery
Have the 12-volt bat tery inspected at
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible.
If the 12-volt batter y is deteriorating,
continued use may cause the 12-volt battery to emit a malodorous gas,
which may be det rimental to the
health of passengers.
■When replacing the 12-volt bat -
tery
●For information re garding 12-volt
battery replacem ent, contact any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
●After replacing, securely attach the
exhaust hose and exhaust hole
plug to the exhaust hole of the replaced 12-volt battery. If not prop -
erly installed, gases (hydrogen)
may leak into the vehicle interior, and there is the possible danger of
the gas igniting and exploding.
