3Turn the tire jack portion
by hand until the notch of the
jack is in contact with the jack
point.
The jack point guides are located
under the rocker panel. They indi-
cate the jack po int positions.
4Raise the vehicle until the tire
is slightly raised off the
ground.
5 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.
■If the spare tire cannot be low-
ered
If the spare tire cannot be lowered, it
may not have been stowed properly.
Perform the following procedure:
1 Fully tighten the spare tire clamp
bolt by turning the jack handle
clockwise until two clicks are
heard and the jack handle skips.
2 Turn the jack handle counter-
clockwise to lower the spare tire.
If the spare tire still cannot be low-
ered, attempt to fully tighten the
spare tire clamp bolt again by turn-
ing the jack handle clockwise. Then
turn it counterclockwise at least 2
turns to lower the spare tire.
If the spare tire still cannot be low-
ered, the wire cable may be sev-
ered. Have the vehicle inspected by

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 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 precau-
tions could cause the wheel
nuts to loosen and 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not attach a heavily dam- aged wheel ornament, as it may
fly off the wheel while the vehi-
cle is moving.
●Observe the fo llowing precau-
tions.
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.
• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it
from under the vehicle.
■Replacing a flat tire for vehi-
cles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to turn off the
power back door main switch
(  P.510). Failure to do so may
cause the back d oor to operate
unintentionally if the power back
door switch is accidentally
touched, resulti ng in hands and
fingers being caught and injured.

motion, causing the tire to come off.
2Install the spare tire and
loosely tighten each wheel
nut by hand by approximately
the same amount.
When replacing an aluminum wheel
with an aluminum wheel, turn the
wheel nuts until the washers
come into contact with the disc
wheel .
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 .
3 Lower the vehicle.
4 Firmly tighten each wheel nut
two or three times in the
order shown in the illustra-
tion.
Vehicles with wheel locks: Tighten
the wheel lock using the wheel lock
key after tightening the other wheel
nuts.
Tightening torque:
76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)
WARNING
■Stowing the flat tire
Failure to follow steps listed under
stowing the tire may result in
damage to the spare tire carrier
and loss of the tire, which could
result in serious injury or death.

6 Using the jack handle and
adapter socket, tighten the
tire clamp bolt by turning it
clockwise until the tire is in
the correct position and two
clicks are heard as the jack
handle skips.
7 Confirm it is not loose after
tightening:
1 Push and pull the tire
2 Try rotating
Visually check to ensure tire is not
hung on surrounding parts.
If looseness or misassembly exists,
repeat steps 2 to 7.
8 Repeat step 7, any time the
tire is lowered or disturbed.
9 Stow the jack and all tools.
■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 check the tire infla-
tion pressure of the compact
spare tire. ( P.495)
■When using the compact spare
tire
As the compact spare tire is not
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transm itter, low infla-
tion pressure of t he spare tire will
not be indicated by the tire pressure
warning system. Also , if you replace
the compact spare ti re after the tire
pressure warning light comes on,
the light remains on.
■When the compact spare tire is
equipped
When driving with the compact
spare tire installed, the vehicle
height will be diffe rent than when
driving with standard tires.
■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 com-
pact 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 trouble arises
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.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter,
contact your Toyota dealer as the
tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may be damaged if not
handled correctly.
■When stowing the flat tire
●Ensure that there is no object
caught between the tire and the
vehicle underbody.
●Securely tighten the spare tire
clamp bolt to hold the spare
wheel carrier by the hook.
●Stow the flat tire in the spare tire
location. Failure to do so may
cause damage to the spare tire
carrier. Proper storage reduces
the possibility of injury in a colli-
sion or during sudden braking.
●Have the flat tire repaired and
the spare tire replaced with it as
soon as possible.
■Proper storage of the spare
tire
●If the hoist assembly is slanted
when stowing a tire, the hoist
assembly may become stuck in
the wheel opening and the tire
may not be raised properly,
causing damage to the wheel or
the wire cable.
●Do not attempt to turn the spare
tire clamp bolt without a tire on
the hoist assembly, as doing so
may cause the wire cable to slip
off of the shaft inside the unit
and the wire cable may not be
able to be raised or lowered. If
the spare tire clamp bolt has
been turned without a tire on the
hoist assembly and the wire
cable cannot be raised or low-
ered, contact your Toyota
dealer.
