When trouble arises
4 Assemble the jack handle and
the wheel nut wrench as shown
in the illustration.
5 Raise the vehicle until the tire is
slightly raised off the ground.
6 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.
1 Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.
WARNING
■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.
• 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.
●For vehicles with power back door:
In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power back door system ( P.251).
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

5648-2. 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.
2 Install the spare tire and loosely
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.
■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 temporar-ily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.
( P.591)
■When 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.
■When 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.

Do not use your compact spare tire on another vehicle.
●Do not use more than one compact spare tire simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shift-ing operations that cause sudden
engine braking.
■When the compact spare tire is
attached
The vehicle speed may not be cor- rectly detected, and the following sys-
tems may not operate correctly:
• ABS & Brake assist
• VSC/Trailer Sway Control
•TRC
• Cruise control (if equipped)
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range (if equipped)
• PCS (Pre-Collision System) (if equipped)
• EPS
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist) (if
equipped)
• Tire pressure warning system
• AHB (Automatic High Beam) (if equipped)
• BSM (if equipped)
• RCTA (if equipped)
• PKSB (if equipped)
• Toyota parking assist-sensor
• Rear view monitor system (if
equipped)

AWD system)
■Speed limit when using the com-
pact spare tire
Do not drive at speeds in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) when a compact spare
tire is installed on the vehicle.
The compact spare tire is not designed for driving at high speeds.
Failure to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.
■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools
and jack are securely in place in their storage location to reduce the possi-bility of personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden braking.
NOTICE
■Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare
tire installed on the vehicle
The vehicle height may become lower when driving with the compact spare
tire compared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driv-ing over uneven road surfaces.

5688-2. Steps to take in an emergency
One of the following may be the
cause of the problem:
 The AC charging cable may be
attached to the vehicle.
( P.135)
 The electronic key may not be
functioning properly. ( P.571)
 There may not be sufficient fuel
in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle. ( P.336)

problem such as electronic key
battery depletion or a blown fuse.
However, depending on the type
of malfunction, an interim mea-
sure is available to start the
hybrid system. ( P.569)
NOTICE
■Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire
Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.
Tire chains may damage the vehicle
body and adversely affect driving per- formance.
■When replacing the tires
When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be dam-aged if not handled correctly.
If the hybrid system will
not start
Reasons for the hybrid system
not starting vary depending on
the situation. Check the follow-
ing and perform the appropri-
ate procedure:
The hybrid system will not
start even though the cor-
rect starting procedure is
being followed ( P.310)

5828-2. Steps to take in an emergency
1Stop the hybrid system. Set the
parking brake and shift the shift
lever to P.
Do not press the shift lever button after shifting the shift lever to P.
2 Remove the mud, snow or sand
from around the stuck tire.
3 Place wood, stones or some
other material to help provide
traction under the tires.
4 Restart the hybrid system.
5 Shift the shift lever to D or R and
release the parking brake. Then,
while exercising caution,
depress the accelerator pedal.
■When it is difficult to free the vehi-
cle
Press to turn off TRC. ( P.417)
If the vehicle becomes
stuck
Carry out the following proce-
dures if the tires spin or the
vehicle becomes stuck in mud,
dirt or snow:
Recovering procedure
WARNING
■When attempting to free a stuck vehicle
If you choose to push the vehicle back and forth to free it, make sure the surrounding area is clear to avoid
striking other vehicles, objects or peo- ple. The vehicle may also lunge for-ward or lunge back suddenly as it
becomes free. Use extreme caution.
■When shifting the shift lever
Be careful not to shift the shift lever with the accelerator pedal depressed.
This may lead to unexpected rapid
acceleration of the vehicle that may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■To avoid damaging the transmis-sion and other components
●Avoid spinning the wheels and depressing the accelerator pedal more than necessary.
●If the vehicle remains stuck even
after these procedures are per- formed, the vehicle may require towing to be freed.
