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 bolts to loosen and the tire to fall off, result-ing in death or serious injury.
• Never apply oil or grease to the
wheel bolts or their contact surface
on the wheel .
Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts to be tightened excessively,
leading to damage to the wheel
bolts, the threaded portion the
wheel bolts install to , or the
wheel.
Also, the wheel bolts may come
loose, possibly leading to the wheel
coming off, causing a serious acci-
dent.
If oil or grease is attached to either
of these parts, remove it.
●When installing a wheel, use the
same wheel bolts that were removed with the wheel. Also, do not use any wheel bolts other than
Toyota genuine wheel bolts.
• If a wheel bolt hole in a wheel or the threads of a wheel bolt or the wheel hub are deformed, cracked, rusty or
otherwise damaged, have the vehi- cle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■When tightening the wheel bolts
Do not tighten the wheel bolts exces- sively.Doing so may cause the wheel bolts,
the threads of the wheel hub, or the wheel to be damaged.
■Replacing a flat tire for vehicles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing tires,
make sure to cancel the power back door system ( P.202). Failure to do so may cause the back door to oper-
ate unintentionally if the power back door switch is accidentally touched, resulting in hands and fingers being
caught and injured.

When trouble arises
When using a flat-bed truck to
transport the vehicle, use tire strap-
ping belts. Refer to the owner’s
manual of the flat-bed truck for the
tire strapping method.
In order to suppress vehicle move-
ment during transportation, set the
parking brake and turn the power
switch off.
If a tow truck is not available in an
emergency, your vehicle may be
temporarily towed using cables or
chains secured to the emergency
towing eyelets. This should only be
attempted on hard surfaced roads
for short distances at under 30
km/h (18 mph).
A driver must be in the vehicle to
steer and operate the brakes. The
vehicle’s wheels, drive train, axles,
steering and brakes must be in
good condition.
WARNING
AWD models
Be sure to transport the vehicle with
all four wheels raised off the ground. If
the vehicle is towed with the tires con-
tacting the ground, the drivetrain or
related parts may be damaged, the
vehicle may fly off the truck, or elec-
tricity generated by the operation of
the motor may cause a fire to occur
depending on the nature of the dam-
age or malfunction.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the vehicle
when towing using a wheel-lift type truck
●Right-hand drive vehicles: Do not
tow the vehicle from the rear when the power switch is OFF. The steer-ing lock mechanism is not strong
enough to hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle, ensure adequate ground clearance for tow-ing at the opposite end of the raised
vehicle. Without adequate clear- ance, the vehicle could be dam-aged while being towed.
