When trouble arises
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.
Install the spare tire and loosely tighten each wheel nut by hand by
approximately the same amount.
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.
When replacing an aluminum
wheel with an aluminum wheel,
turn the wheel nuts until the
washers come into contact with
the disc wheel.

When trouble arises
■The compact spare tire (if equipped)
● 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. 665)
■ When using the compact spare tire (vehicles with the tire pressure warn-
ing system)
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with a tire pressure warning valve
and transmitter, low inflation 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 the compact spare tire is equipped (if equipped)
The vehicle height may become lower when driving with the compact spare
tire compared to when driving with standard tires.
■ If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice (vehicles
with compact spare tire)
Install the compact spare tire on one of the rear wheels of the vehicle. Per-
form the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires:
Replace a rear tire with the compact spare tire.
Replace the flat front tire with the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.
Fit tire chains to the front tires.
■ Jack point
■ Storing the jack
The mark indicating the jack point is
stamped on the underside of the vehicle.
Place the jack in the same direction as the
mark next to the storage space.
