torque TOYOTA AYGO 2011 Owners Manual

STARTING AND DRIVING213
DAlways slow down in gusty crosswinds.
This will allow you much better control.
DDrive slowly onto curbs and, if pos-
sible, at a right angle. Avoid driving
onto high, sharp−edged objects and
other road hazards. Failure to do so
can lead to severe tire damage such
as a tire burst.
Drive slowly when passing over bumps
or travelling on a bumpy road. Other-
wise, the impact could cause severe
damage to the tires and/or wheels.
DWhen parking on a hill, turn the front
wheels until they touch the curb so
that the vehicle will not roll. Apply the
parking brake, and place the transmis-
sion in “M(1)”, “E(1)” or “R” (multi−
mode manual transmission), or first or
reverse (manual transmission). If nec-
essary, block the wheels.
DWashing your vehicle or driving through
deep water may get the brakes wet. To
see whether they are wet, check that
there is no traffic near you, and then
press the pedal lightly. If you do not
feel a normal braking force, the brakes
are probably wet. To dry them, drive
the vehicle cautiously while lightly
pressing the brake pedal with the park-
ing brake applied. If they still do not
work safely, pull to the side of the road
and call any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional, for assis-
tance.
CAUTION
DBefore driving off, make sure the
parking brake is fully released and
the parking brake reminder light is
off.
DDo not leave your vehicle unat-
tended while the engine is running.
DDo not rest your foot on the brake
pedal while driving. It can cause
dangerous overheating, needless
wear, and poor fuel economy.
DTo drive down a long or steep hill,
reduce your speed and downshift.
Remember, if you ride the brakes
excessively, they may overheat and
not work properly.
DBe careful when accelerating, up-
shifting, downshifting or braking on
a slippery surface. Sudden accelera-
tion or engine braking could cause
the vehicle to skid or spin.
DDo not continue normal driving
when the brakes are wet. If they are
wet, your vehicle will require a
longer stopping distance, and it
may pull to one side when the
brakes are applied. Also, the park-
ing brake will not hold the vehicle
securely.
NOTICE
zDo not depress the accelerator and
brake pedals at the same time dur-
ing driving. If the brake pedal is
depressed while driving with the ac-
celerator pedal depressed, driving
torque may be restrained.
zDo not use the accelerator pedal or
depress the accelerator and brake
pedals at the same time to hold the
vehicle on a hill.

Tips for driving in various
conditions

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY233
—Lowering your vehicle
MS41018b
9. Lower the vehicle completely and
tighten the wheel bolts.
Turn the jack handle counterclockwise to
lower the vehicle.
Use only the wheel bolt wrench and turn
it clockwise to tighten the bolts. Do not
use other tools or any additional leverage
other than your hands, such as a hammer,
pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench
is securely engaged over the bolt.
Tighten each bolt a little at a time in the
order shown. Repeat the process until all
the bolts are tight.
CAUTION
DWhen lowering the vehicle, make
sure that all portions of your body
and all other persons around will
not be injured as the vehicle is low-
ered to the ground.
DHave the wheel bolts tightened with
torque wrench to 103 N·m (10.5
kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf), as soon as pos-
sible after changing wheels. Other-
wise, the bolts may loosen and the
wheels may fall off, which could
cause a serious accident.
DTightening the bolts too much could
cause wheel deformation or cracks,
and may result in serious accidents.
DDo not attach a heavily damaged
plastic wheel ornament. It may fly
off the wheel and cause accidents
while the vehicle is moving.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY235
—After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifica-
tions designated on page 299 in Section
8. If the pressure is lower, drive slowly to
the nearest service station and fill to the
correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire valve
cap as dirt and moisture could get into
the valve core and possibly cause air
leakage. If the cap is missing, have a new
one put on as soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat
tire securely.
As soon as possible after changing
wheels, tighten the wheel bolts to the
torque specified on page 299 in Section
8 with a torque wrench. Have a technician
repair the flat tire and replace the spare
tire with it.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely
placed in their storage locations to
reduce the possibility of death or se-
rious injury during sudden braking,
sudden swerving or an accident.
PS41515
Aluminium wheels:
Before stowing the flat tire, remove the
center wheel ornament by pushing from
the reverse side.
Be careful not to lose the wheel ornament.
