around will not be injured as
the vehicle is lowered to the
ground.
Have the wheel nuts tightened
with torque wrench to 103 N·m
(10.5 kgf·m, 76 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.

9. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 244 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.

flat tire securely.
As soon as possible after changing
wheels, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 244 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire and re-
place the spare tire with it.CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are se-
curely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden braking.
