CAUTION
When lowering the vehicle,
make sure all portions of your
body and all other persons
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.
Do not attach a heavily dam-
aged plastic wheel ornament.
It may fly off the wheel and
cause accidents while the ve-
hicle is moving.
9. Restow all the tools and jack se-
curely. Then secure the flat tire
in the luggage compartment
with the tire tie–down belts and
tie–down hooks as follows.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools and 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.
1. Vehicles with aluminium wheel
only: Before stowing the flat tire,
remove the center wheel ornament
by pushing from the reverse side.
Be careful not to lose the wheel orna-
ment.

CAUTION
Make sure the rear seats are in
their original position.
When carrying the flat tire, se-
cure it using a tire tie–down
belts. Otherwise, the flat tire
may fly out in case of the sud-
den braking or an accident, re-
sulting in death or serious inju-
ry.
—After changing wheels
10. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designed on page 253. 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 the 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 253 with a
torque wrench and have a technician
repair the flat tire.
After repairing the flat tire, change it
with compact spare tire and reinstall
the wheel ornament.
Initial adjustment of the tire pres-
sure warning system is necessary
after you have replaced your tires
or wheels. See “Tire pressure
warning system” on page 119.CAUTION
Take due care in handling the or-
nament to avoid unexpected per-
sonal injury.

to 210 kPa (2.2 kgf/cm2 or 2.1 bar, 31 psi) provided that it does not exceed the maximum cold tire inflation pressure
molded on the tire sidewall.
