WARNING
■Using the tire jack
Improper use of the tire jack may cause the vehicle to suddenly fall off the jack, leading to death or serious injury. ●Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or
installing and removing tire chains. ●Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat
tire. Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for replacing tires on this vehicle.
●Always check that the tire jack is securely set to the jack point. ●Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle while it is supported
by the jack. ●Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the
jack. ●Do not raise the vehicle while someone is inside. ●When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack. ●Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to
replace the tire. ●Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle. Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one working on or near the vehicle may be injured.
■Using the jack handle
Insert the square head securely until you hear a click to prevent the extension parts from coming apart unexpectedly.

WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury: • Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it
from under the vehicle. • Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. • Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off
the wheel while the vehicle is moving. • 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, resulting in death or serious injury. • Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench as soon as pos-
sible after changing wheels. Steel wheel: 154 ft·lbf (209 N·m, 21.3 kgf·m) Aluminum wheel: 97 ft·lbf (131 N·m, 13.4 kgf·m)
• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi- cally designed for that wheel.
• If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered ends facing inward.

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. Tighten the nuts until the tapered portion comes into loose contact with the disc wheel.

■The temporary spare tire
●The temporary spare tire is identified by the “TEMPORARY USE ONLY”
marking on the disc wheel and/or tire sidewall. Use the temporary spare tire temporarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the temporary spare tire. (P. 531)
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (P. 430)
