1. Reduce your speed gradually,keeping a straight line. Move cau-
tiously off the road to a safe place
well away from the traffic. Avoid
stopping on the center divider of
a highway. Park on a level spot
with firm ground.
2. Stop the engine and turn on your emergency flashers.
3. Firmly set the parking brake and put the transmission in “P”.
4. Have everyone get out of the ve- hicle on the side away from traffic.
5. Read the following instructions thoroughly.
NOTICE
Do not continue driving with a
deflated tire. Driving even a
short distance can damage a
tire and wheel beyond repair.
Some vehicles are equipped with
runflat (RFT) tires. The runflat
tire allows you to continue driving
for up to 160 km (100 miles) at a
speed below 90 km/h (55 mph)
even if any tire goes flat. However,
in some conditions (such as high
temperatures), you could not con-
tinue driving for up to 160 km (100
miles).
When the tire goes flat or when the
tire pressure is below 100 kPa (1.0
kgf/cm
2 or bar, 15 psi), the tire
must be replaced. If you are not
sure, consult your Toyota dealer.
Do not use the repaired tire. There is an “RFT” or “DSST” mark on
the sidewall of the run
−flat tire.
For details about the run −flat tire, see
“Run −flat tires” on page 469 in Sec-
tion 7 −2.
Vehicles with compact spare tire—
When you replace the tire, see
“—Compact spare tire” through “—Af-
ter changing wheels”, pages 413
through 425 in this Section.
If you have a flat tire—

To prepare yourself for an emergency,
you should familiarize yourself with
the use of the jack, each of the tools
and their storage locations.To remove the tools, turn the knob
counterclockwise and remove the
cover.To remove the jack, turn the jack joint
by hand until the jack becomes free.

To store the jack, turn the jack joint
until the jack base fits securely with
the vehicle body.
This prevents the jack from flying for-
ward during a collision or sudden
stop.To remove the wheel nut wrench, turn
the wingnut counterclockwise.
When storing the wheel nut wrench,
turn the wingnut clockwise and make
sure the wrench is securely held.To remove the spare tire:
1. Slide the front passenger ’s seat to the front −most lock position and
the right side second seat to the
rear −most lock position so they
will not interfere with the wheel nut
wrench.
Open the right side sliding door
and you will find the flap on the
floor. Pull back the flap to find the
spare tire clamp bolt.

2. Loosen the spare tire clamp boltby turning it counterclockwise with
the wheel nut wrench.3. After the tire is lowered completelyto the ground, remove the holding
bracket.
When storing the spare tire, put it in
place with the outer side of the wheel
facing up. Then secure the tire, taking
care that the tire goes straight up
without catching on any other part, to
prevent it from flying forward during
a collision or sudden braking.
As the tire carrier is designed for the
compact spare tire, the standard tire
cannot be stored there.
CAUTION
Do not remove the spare tire
when jacking up the vehicle. The
tire carrier and the spare tire may
interfere with the jack and cause
a serious accident.
NOTICE
 To secure spare tire clamp
bolt:
Do not use impact wrench,
but wheel nut wrench.
 After taking out or stowing
the spare tire, make sure to
secure the tire carrier by
tightening the clamp bolt to
prevent the holding bracket
from hitting the under body
of the vehicle during driving.
 Do not store the flat spare
tire with the tire carrier so it
may not be held securely.

When storing the spare tire, put it in
place with the outer side of the wheel
facing up. Then secure the tire by re-
peating the above removal steps in
reverse order to prevent it from flying
forward during a collision or sudden
braking.
2. Block the wheel diagonally op-posite the flat tire to keep the
vehicle from rolling when it is
jacked up.
When blocking the wheel, place a
wheel block in front of one of the front
wheels or behind one of the rear
wheels.3. Remove the wheel ornament.
Pry off the wheel ornament, using the
beveled end of the wheel nut wrench
as shown.

6. After making sure that no oneis in the vehicle, raise it high
enough so that the spare tire
can be installed.
Remember you will need more ground
clearance when putting on the spare
tire than when removing the flat tire.
To raise the vehicl e, insert the jack
handle into the jack (it is a loose fit)
and turn it clockwise. As the jack
touches the vehicle and begins to lift,
double −check that it is properly posi-
tioned.
CAUTION
Never get under the vehicle when
the vehicle is supported by the
jack alone.
7. Remove the wheel nuts and change tires.
Lift the flat tire straight off and put it
aside.
Roll the spare wheel into position and
align the holes in the wheel with the
bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get
at least the top bolt started through
its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it
back over the other bolts.

CAUTION
Take due care in handling the or-
nament to avoid unexpected per-
sonal injury.
11. Check the air pressure of the re-placed tire.
Adjust the air pressu re to the specifi-
cation designated on page 491 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.
12.Restow all the tools and jack se- curely.
13.Wrap the flat tire in the tire bagand stow temporarily in the lug-
gage compartment. The tire bag
is stored with the jack handle.
As the tire carrier is designed for the
compact spare tire, the standard tire
cannot be stored there.
As soon after changing wheels as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 491 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire and re-
place the spare tire with it.

The tires on your Toyota have built−in
tread wear indicators to help you
know when the tires need replace-
ment. When the tread depth wears to
1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less, the indica-
tors will appear. If you can see the
indicators in two or more adjacent
grooves, the tire should be replaced.
The lower the tread, the higher the
risk of skidding.
The effectiveness of snow tires is
lost if the tread wears down below
4 mm (0.16 in.).
If you have tire damage such as
cuts, splits, cracks deep e nough to
expose the fabric, or bulges indi-
cating internal damage, the tire
should be repl aced.
If a tire often goes flat or cannot be
properly repaired due to the size or
location of a cut or other damage, it
should be replaced. If you are not
sure, consult with your Toyota dealer. If air loss occurs while driving, do not
continue driving. Driving even a short
distance can damage a tire beyond
repair.
An y ti res wh i ch are over 6 years
old must be checked by a qualified
technician even if damage is not
obvious.
Tires deteriorate with age even if they
have never or seldom been used.
This applies also to the spare tire and
tires stored for future use.
REPLACING YOUR TIRES
When replacing a tire, use a tire of
the same size and construction,
and the same or greater maximum
load as the originally installed
tires. Also, on allwheel drive mod-
els, all the tires must be the same
brand and have the same tread pat-
terns.
Using any other size or type of tire
may seriously affect handling, ride,
speedometer/odometer calibration,
ground clearance, and clearance be-
tween the body and tires or snow
chains.
Check that the maximum load of the
replaced tire is greater than 1/2 of the
Gross Axle Weight Ratings (GAWR)
of either the front axle or the rear
axle, whichever is greater. As for the
maximum load of the tire, see the load
limit at maximum cold tire inflation
pressure mentioned on the sidewall
of the tire, and as for the Gross Axle
Weight Ratings (GAWR), see the Cer-
tification Label.
For details about the side wall of the
tire and the Certification Label, see
pages 376, 378 and 380.
CAUTION
Observe the following instruc-
tions. Otherwise, an accident
may occur resulting in death or
serious injuries.
