When trouble arises
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 the 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.
When replacing a steel wheel with 
a steel wheel, tighten the wheel 
nuts until the tapered portion   
comes into loose contact with the

WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or 
the area around the brakes 
immediately after the vehicle 
has been driven. A fter the vehi-
cle 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 precau-
tions 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 to 76 ft•lbf 
(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon 
as possible after changing 
wheels.
• Do not attach a heavily dam- aged wheel ornament, as it may 
fly off the whee l while the vehi-
cle is moving.
• 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.
• When installing  the wheel nuts, 
be sure to install them with the 
tapered ends facing inward.

all tools.
■The compact spare tire
●The compact spare tire is identi-
fied by the label “TEMPORARY  USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall. 
Use the compact spare tire tempo-
rarily, and only in an emergency.
●Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure of the compact 
spare tire. (
P.370)
■When the compact spare tire is 
equipped
The vehicle becomes lower when 
driving with the compact spare tire 
compared to when driving with stan-
dard tires.
■After completing the tire 
change
The tire pressure warning system 
must be reset. ( P.288)
■When using the compact spare 
tire
As the compact spare tire is not 
equipped with a tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transm itter, low infla-
tion pressure of t he spare tire will 
not be indicated by the tire pressure 
warning system. Also , if you replace 
the compact spare ti re after the tire 
pressure warning light comes on, 
the light remains on.
■If you have a flat  front tire on a 
road covered wit h snow or ice 
(vehicles with a compact spare 
tire)
Install the compact spare tire on one 
of the rear wheels  of the vehicle. 
Perform the  following steps and fit 
tire chains to the front tires:
1 Replace a rear tire with the com-
pact spare tire.
2 Replace the flat front tire with the 
tire removed from  the rear of the 
vehicle.
3 Fit tire chains to  the front tires.
■When reinstalling the wheel 
ornament (steel wheels except

pact spare tires simultaneously.
●Replace the compact spare tire 
with a standard tire as soon as 
possible.
●Avoid sudden acceleration, 
abrupt steering, sudden brak-
ing and shifting operations that

Tire ply composition and materials
Plies are layers of rubber-coat ed parallel cords. Cords are the  strands 
which form the pl ies in a tire.
