WA R N I N G
●Vehicles with a compact spare tire
and full-size spare tire: If the tire
pressure warning light comes on even after tire inflation pressure
adjustment, it is probable that you
have a flat tire. Check the tires. If a tire is flat, change it with the spare
tire and have the flat tire repaired
by the nearest any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Vehicles with emergency tire punc-ture repair kit: If the tire pressure
warning light comes on even after
tire inflation pressure adjustment, it is probable that you have a flat tire.
Check the tires. If a tire is flat, repair
the flat tire by using emergency tire puncture repair kit.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate, you
could lose control of the steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air leak-age should occur (vehicles with
a tire pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system may not activate immediately.
NOTICE
■To ensure the tire pressure warn-
ing system operates properly
(vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
Do not install tires with different speci-
fications or makers, as the tire pres- sure warning system may not operate
properly.
If a war ning message is
displayed
The multi-information display
shows warnings for system
malfunctions and incorrectly
performed operations, and
messages that indicate a need
for maintenance. When a mes-
sage is displayed, perform the
appropriate corrective action
for the message.
If a warning message is dis-
played again after the appro-
priate actions have been
performed, contact any author-
ized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
Additionally, if a warning light
comes on or flashes at the
same time that a warning mes-
sage is displayed, take the
appropriate corrective action
for the warning light. ( P.511)

When trouble arises
1 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.
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
WA R N I N G
• 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.
■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.580). 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.

Tightening torque:
103 N•m (10.5 kgf•m, 76 ft•lbf)
5 Stow the flat tire, tire jack and all
tools.
■The full-size spare tire
●Vehicles with a tire pressure warning system: The full-size spare tire has a
“Temporary use only” label on the
outer surface 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.573)
■The compact spare tire
●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.573)
■When the compact spare tire is
equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when driv- ing with the compact spare tire com-
pared to when driving with standard
tires.
■After completing the tire change
(vehicles with a tire pressure warn- ing system)
The tire pressure warning system must
be reset. ( P.483)
