3767-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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 (including a compact
spare tire), tighten the wheel nuts
until the tapered portion comes
into loose contact with the disc
wheel seat .
When replacing an aluminum wheel
with a steel wheel (including a com-
pact spare tire), tighten the wheel
nuts until the tapered portion
comes into loose contact with the
WARNING
●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.

■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.397)
■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 (vehicles with a tire
pressure warning system)
The tire pressure warning system
must be reset. ( P.318)
■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
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 with snow or ice
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.
