7-2. Steps to take in an emergency
1Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.
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 tire and loosely
tighten each wheel nut by hand
by approximately the same
amount.
When replacing a steel wheel with a
steel wheel (including a compact spare
tire), tighten the wheel nuts until the
tapered portion comes into loose
contact with the disc wheel seat .
When replacing an aluminum wheel
with a steel wheel (including a compact
spare tire), tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered portion comes into
loose contact with the disc wheel seat
.
WARNING
• 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.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel while the vehicle is moving.
• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi-
cally designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deforma-
tions in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of the 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. ( →P.394)

■The full-size spare tire (if equipped)
●The full-size spare tire has a “Tempo- rary use only” label on the outer sur-face of the wheel. Use the full-size
spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the full-size spare tire. ( →P.417)
■The compact spare tire (if
equipped)
●The compact spare tire is identified by
the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall. Use the compact
spare tire temporarily, and only in an
emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
( →P.417)
■When the compact spare tire (if equipped) is equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driv-
ing with the compact spare tire com- pared to when driving with standard tires.
■When using the compact spare tire
(if equipped)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pres- sure of the compact spare tire will not be indicated by the tire pressure warning
system. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road
covered with snow or ice (vehicles with a compact spare tire)
Install the compact spare tire on one of
the rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
1 Replace a rear tire with the compact
spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the front tires.
■When reinstalling the wheel orna- ment (steel wheels except compact
spare tire)
Align the cutout of the wheel ornament with the valve stem as shown in the
illustration.
