WA R N I N G
■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 nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, result-
ing 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 an accident and resulting in
death or serious injury. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
• 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.

8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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.

When replacing an aluminum wheel
with an aluminum wheel, turn the wheel
nuts until the washers come into
loose contact with the disc wheel .
3 Lower the vehicle.
4 Firmly tighten each wheel nut
two or three times in the order
shown in the illustration.
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)

When trouble arises
■When using the spare tire (vehicles
with a tire pressure warning sys- tem)
As the spare tire is not equipped with a
tire pressure warning valve and trans- mitter, low inflation pressure of the spare
tire will not be indicated by the tire pres-
sure warning system. Also, if you replace the spare tire after the tire pres-
sure warning light comes on, the light
remains on.
■If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice
Install the compact spare tire on one of
the rear wheels of the vehicle. Perform the following steps and fit tire chains to
the front tires:
1 Replace a rear tire with the compact
spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to the front tires.
■When reinstalling the wheel orna-
ment (if equipped)
Align the cutout of the wheel ornament with the valve stem as shown in the
illustration.
