 Have the wheel nuts tightened
with torque wrench to 103 N·m
(10.5 kgf·m, 77 ft·lbf), as soon
as possible after changing
wheels. Otherwise, the nuts
may loosen and the wheels
may fall off, which could cause
a serious accident.

storage box lid. Then pull the ends
of the belts to se cure the tire se-

After stowing the flat tire, check that
the tire and belts are secured.
To loosen the tire tie −down belts, see
“Tie −down hooks and tire tie −down
belts” on page 178 in Section 1 −10. 11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressu re to the specifi-
cation designated on page 306 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 infla-
tion valve cap as dirt and moisture
could get into th e valve core and
possibly cause air leakage. If the cap
is missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
As soon after changing wheels as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 306 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire.
