How to change a tyre
Before changing a tyre, first stop your vehi- cle in a safe, flat location. 1. Park the vehicle on level and stable
ground, free of loose pebbles, etc.
2. Set the parking brake firmly.
3. On vehicles with manual transmission,
turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position or put the operation mode in
OFF, and move the gearshift lever to the
“R” (Reverse) position.
On vehicles with automatic transmis- sion, move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) position, and turn the ignition
switch to the “LOCK” position or put the operation mode in OFF.
4. Turn on the hazard warning flashers and
set up a warning triangle, flashing signal
lamp, etc., at an adequate distance from
the vehicle, and have all your passengers
leave the vehicle.
5. To prevent the vehicle from rolling when
jacking up the vehicle, place chocks or blocks (A) at the tyre that is diagonallyopposite from the tyre (B) you are
changing.:ARN,NGz Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.NOTEz The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if needed.
z If chocks are not available, use stones or any
other objects that are large enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack, jack handle and wheel nut
wrench ready.
Refer to “Tools, jack and jack handle” on page 8-12.

Spare wheel information
The spare wheel is stored under the floor of
the cargo bed.
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre- quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.

Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest specified air pressure will ensure that it canalways be used under any conditions (city/
high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
CAUT,ONz The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure
while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation pressures”
on page 10-13.)To remove the spare wheel
1. Set the jack handle. (Club cab)
(Refer to “To use the jack handle (Club
cab)” on page 8-15.)
2. Insert the jack handle (A) in the hole (B)
below the rear gate.
3. Securely insert the pin (C) on the jack
handle into the holder (D) of the spare
wheel carrier.
4. Insert the wheel nut wrench (E) through
the end of the jack handle hole (F), and
then turn it anticlockwise to lower the
spare wheel completely to the ground
and to slack the chain.CAUT,ONz When removing the spare wheel, please ob-
serve the followings.
If you do not follow them, it could result in
break the spare wheel carrier.

NOTEzPut the spare wheel under the vehicle body
near the flat tyre. This makes it safer if the jack slips out of position.To change a tyre
1. Loosen the wheel nuts a quarter turn
with the wheel nut wrench. Do not re-
move the wheel nuts yet.
2. Place the jack under one of the jacking
points shown in the illustration. Use the jacking point closest to the tyre you wish
to change.
A- Front jacking point
B- Rear jacking point
:ARN,NGz Set the jack only at the positions shown
here. If the jack is set at a wrong position, it could dent your vehicle or the jack
might fall over and cause personal injury.
z Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft sur-
face. Otherwise, the jack might slip and cause personal injury. Always use the jack
on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the jack, make sure there are no sand or peb-bles under the jack base.

NOTEzWhen jacking up the rear of the vehicle, turn
the tip of the jack so that the grooved portion
(C) properly meets the designated point.
3. Using the jack handle, turn the release
valve (D) clockwise until it stops.
4. Insert the jack handle in the bracket of
the jack and hook the notch (E) on the
jack handle end to the claw (F) of the
bracket.
5. Move the jack handle up and down to
raise the ram until just before the jack
contacts the jacking point of the vehicle.
Ensure that the jack will properly con- tact the vehicle jacking point.
Move the jack handle up and down to raise the vehicle.NOTEz This jack is a 2 stage expansion type.:ARN,NGzStop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tyre is raised off the ground. It is danger-ous to raise the vehicle any higher.:ARN,NGz Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
z Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
z Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
z The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tyre.
z No one should be in your vehicle when us-
ing the jack.
z Do not start or run the engine while your
vehicle is on the jack.
z Do not turn the raised wheel. The tyres
still on the ground could turn and make your vehicle fall off the jack.
6. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel
nut wrench, then take the wheel off.
CAUT,ONz Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tyre, to avoid scratching the wheel sur- face.
7. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (G), hub bolts (H) or in the installa- tion holes (I) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare wheel.

:ARN,NGzMount the spare wheel with the valve
stem (J) facing outboard. If you cannot see the valve stem (J), you have installed the wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare
wheel installed backwards can cause vehi-
cle damage and result in an accident.8. Turn the wheel nuts clockwise by hand
to initially tighten them.
>Type 1: On vehicles with steel wheels@
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the tapered parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with the seats of the wheel holes and the wheel is not
loose.
>Type 2: On vehicles with aluminium
wheels@
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by hand until the flange parts of the wheel nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.NOTEz Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel spare wheel as shown in the illustra- tion, but return to the original wheel and tyre
as soon as possible.CAUT,ONz Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.

NOTEzIf all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels. e. g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.
9. Put the notch (K) provided on the jack
handle end on the valve (L) of the jack.
Using the jack handle, turn the release valve anticlockwise slowly to lower thevehicle until the tyre touches the ground.
:ARN,NGz Be sure to open the release valve slowly. If
it is opened quickly, the vehicle will drop abruptly and the jack may come out of position, causing a serious accident.
10. Tighten the nuts crisscross in 2 or 3 steps
until each nut has been tightened secure-
ly.

Tightening torqueSteel wheel: 137 to 157 N

13.Check your tyre inflation pressure. The
correct pressures are shown on the door
label. See the illustration.CAUT,ONz The tyre pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified pressure while the tyre is stowed.
z After changing the tyre and driving the vehi-
cle about 1,000 km (620 miles), retighten the
wheel nuts to make sure that they have not come loose.
z If the steering wheel vibrates when driving
after changing the tyre, we recommend you to have the tyres checked for balance.
z Do not mix one type of tyre with another or
use a different size from the one listed. This
would cause early wear and poor handling.To store the spare wheel
1. Install the hanger disc (A) in the wheel
disc hole.
2. Turn the wheel nut wrench (B) clock-
wise to wind up the chain.
NOTEz Confirm that the hanger disc is securely fit-
ted in the wheel disc hole when the wheel isjust lifted off the ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel suffi-
ciently, make sure it is not loose (the tightening torque should be approxi-
mately 40 N
