5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
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.

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.

Do not use it on other vehicles, an d do not use other jacks for replac-
ing tires on this vehicle.
