WA R N I N G
■Replacing a flat tire
●Do not touch the disc wheels or
the area around the brakes
immediately after the vehicle
has been driven. After 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 oth er 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 wheel 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.

tion pressure of the compact
spare tire. ( P.529)
■When the compact spare tire is

The vehicle becomes lower when
driving with the compact spare tire
compared to when driving with stan-
dard tires.
■After completing the tire
change (vehicles with a tire

The tire pressure warning system
must be reset. ( P.447)
■When using the compact spare
tire (vehicles with a tire pres-
sure warning system)
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

pact spare tire on another vehi-
cle.
●Do not use more than one com-
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
cause sudden engine braking.

The vehicle speed may not be
correctly detected, and the follow-
ing systems may not operate cor-
rectly:
• ABS & Brake assist
• VSC
•TRAC
• Automatic High Beam
• Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range

■After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the
tools and jack are securely in
place in their stor age location to
reduce the possibility of personal
injury during a co llision or sudden
braking.
NOTICE

pact spare tire. Tire chains may
damage the vehicle body and
adversely affect driving perfor-
mance.
■When replacing the tires
(vehicles with a tire pressure
warning system)
When removing or fitting the
wheels, tires or the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter,
contact your Toyota dealer as the
tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter may be damaged if not
handled correctly.
■To avoid damage to the tire
pressure warning valves and
transmitters (vehicles with a
tire pressure warning system)
When a tire is repa ired with liquid
sealants, the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter may not
operate properly. If a liquid seal-
ant is used, contact your Toyota
dealer or other qualified service
shop as soon as possible. Make
sure to replace the tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter
when replacing the tire.
