Confirm that the tire is not loose
after tightening:
Push and pull the tire
Try rotating
Visually check to ensure the tire
is not hung on surrounding
parts.
If looseness or misassembly
exists, repeat step 2 and step 3.
Repeat step 3 any time the ti re is lowered or disturbed.
Stow the tools and jack securely.
■After completing the tire change
The tire pressure warning system must be reset. (→P. 417)
■When using the temporary spare tire
As the temporary spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warn-
ing valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the temporary spare
tire will not be warned. Also, if you replace the temporary spare tire after
the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
CAUTION
■Using the jack
Improper use of the jack may lead to death or serious injuries due to the
vehicle suddenly falling off the jack.
●Do not use the jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or install-
ing and removing tire chains.
●Only use the jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire.

502 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
The engine cannot be started by push-starting.
■ Avoiding a discharged battery
●Turn off the headlights and the audio system while the engine is turned
off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic, etc.
■ When the battery is removed or discharged
Flex-fuel vehicles: The information re corded in the computer will be cleared,
which may cause the engine to run roughly and reduce driving performance
for a while when the engine is first started. In this case, wait until the engine
runs normally.
If the vehicle is running on E85, the engine may stall. In this case, restart the
engine, repeatedly if necessary.
■ Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine
speed slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5
minutes to recharge the battery of your vehicle.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start
the vehicle’s engine.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse order in which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have th e vehicle checked at your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.
