ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.
WARNING
QReplacing a flat tire
ODo 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.
OFailure to follow these precautions
could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, result-ing 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.
• 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.
OFor vehicles with power back door:
In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power back door system ( P.219).
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.
Installing the spare tire

5388-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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.

tighten each wheel nut by hand
by approximately the same
amount.
Turn the wheel nuts until the washers
come into 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.
QThe compact spare tire
OThe compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
on the tire sidewall. Use the compact spare tire temporar-ily, and only in an emergency.
OMake sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P.565)
QWhen using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, low inflation pres- sure of the spare tire will not be indi-cated 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.
QWhen the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle height may become lower when driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with standard tires.
