When trouble arises
When replacing tires on a vehi-
cle with wheel lock nuts, use the
following procedures to remove
and install the wheel lock nuts.
The wheel lock key is stored in
the tray inside the luggage com-
partment. Always return the
wheel lock key to its original
position after use, so that it does
not get lost. (P.519)
■Removal
For ease of removal, the wheel
lock nut should always be the
first one loosened.
1 Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.
2 Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, loosen
the wheel lock nut.
■Installation
For ease of installation, the
wheel lock nut should always be
the last one tightened.
1 By hand, install a wheel lock
nut on the wheel to be
installed.
2 Place the wheel lock key on
top of the wheel lock nut,
turning until the wheel lock
key and wheel lock nut pat-
terns engage.
3 Place the wheel nut wrench
on the wheel lock key, and
while applying pressure on
the wheel lock key, tighten
the wheel lock nut to the rec-
ommended torque.
WARNING
●Do not raise the vehicle while
someone is inside.
●When raising the vehicle, do not
put an object on or under the

6 Raise the vehicle until the tire
is slightly raised off the
ground.
7 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
scratching the wheel surface.
WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or
the area around the brakes
immediately after the vehicle
has been driven. After the vehi-
cle 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 precau-
tions could cause the wheel
nuts to loosen an d 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
tightened, 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 an
accident and resulting in death
or serious injury. Remove any
oil or grease from the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts.

When trouble arises
1Remove any dirt or foreign
matter from the wheel con-
tact surface.
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, 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, 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 76 ft•lbf
(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon
as possible after changing
wheels.
• Do not attach a heavily dam- aged wheel ornament, as it may
fly off the wheel 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.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the
tapered ends facing inward.
■Replacing a flat tire for vehi-
cles with power back door (if
equipped)
In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to canceling the
power back door system
(
P.117). 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.

■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identi-
fied by the label “TEMPORARY
USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall.
Use the compact spare tire tempo-
rarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to che ck the tire infla-
tion pressure of the compact
spare tire. ( P.548)
■When the compact spare tire is
equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when
driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with stan-
dard tires.
■After completing the tire
change
The tire pressure warning system
must be reset. ( P.473)
■When using the compact spare
tire
As the compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter, low infla-
tion pressure of the 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.
■When reinstalli ng the wheel
ornament (steel wheels except
compact spare tire)
Align the cutout of the wheel orna-
ment with the valve stem as shown
in the illustration.

When trouble arises
WARNING
●Do not use more than one com-
pact spare tires simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire
with a standard tire as soon as
possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration,
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that
cause sudden engine braking.
■When the compact spare tire
is attached
The vehicle speed may not be
correctly detected, and the follow-
ing systems may not operate cor-
rectly:
• ABS & Brake assist
• VSC
• TRAC
• Automatic High Beam
• AFS (Adaptive Front-lighting System) (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range
• EPS
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
• Tire pressure warning system
• Intuitive parking assist (if equipped)
• PKSB (Parking Support Brake) (if equipped)
• BSM (Blind Spot Monitor) (if equipped)
• RCTA (Rear Cross Traffic Alert) function (if equipped)
• Rear view monitor system (if equipped)
Also, not only can the following
system not be utilized fully, but it
may even negatively affect the
drive-train components:
• AWD system (AWD models)
■Speed limit when using the
compact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess
of 50 mph (80 km/h) when a com-
pact spare tire is installed on the
vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not
designed for driving at high
speeds. Failure to observe this
precaution may lead to an acci-
dent causing death or serious
injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the
tools and jack are securely in
place in their storage location to
reduce the possibility of personal
injury during a collision or sudden
braking.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over
bumps with the compact
spare tire installed on the
vehicle.
The vehicle becomes lower when
driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with
standard tires. Be careful when
driving over uneven road sur-
faces.
■Driving with tire chains and
the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the com-
pact spare tire. Tire chains may
damage the vehicle body and
adversely affect driving perfor-
mance.
