WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire 
● Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in serious injury: 
• Do  not  try  to  remove  the  wheel  ornament  by  hand.  Take  due  care  in 
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
• Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes imm ediately 
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 han ds, 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, resulting 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 . 
• 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  spe cifically 
designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nu t threads or 
bolt  holes  of  the  wheel,  have  the  vehicle  inspected  by  any  auth orized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install the wheel n uts with the 
tapered ends facing inward.

Remove 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.
Install the spare tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by ha nd by 
approximately the same amount. 
When  replacing  an  aluminum 
wheel  with  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
