WARNING
■When installing the tire
Failure to follow these precau-
tions could caus e the wheel nuts
to loosen and the tire to fall off,
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 tight-
ened, leading 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 89 ft•lbf
(120 N•m, 12.2 kgf•m) as soon
as possible after changing
wheels.
●Do not attach a heavily dam-
aged wheel ornament, as it may
fly off the whee l while the vehi-
cle is moving.
●When installing a tire, only use
wheel nuts that have been spe-
cifically designed for that wheel.
●If there are any cracks or defor-
mations in the bolt screws, nut
threads or bolt holes of the
wheel, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
