2023 TOYOTA PRIUS PRIME wheel torque

5307-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
1Remove any dirt or foreign
matter from the wheel con-
tact surface.
If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact surface, the wheel nuts
may loosen while th e 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.
Turn the wheel nuts until the wash-
ers ( ) come into contact with the
disc wheel ( ).
WARNING
●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. Remove any oil
or grease that has adhered
when installing the 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.
• After replacing a tire, check the tightening torque as soon as
possible. If you cannot confirm
the tightening torque yourself,
have the vehicle inspected at
your Toyota dealer.
• 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.
■Replacing a flat tire for vehi-
cles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to cancel the
power back door system
(  P.202). 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.
