Using a jack that is not designed for your Toyota is dangerous. The vehi-
cle could slip off the jack and seriously injure someone.

could slip and someone could be seriously injured by the jack or the fall-
ing vehicle.

Jacking up the vehicle higher than is necessary is dangerous as it could
destabilize the vehicle resulting in an accident.

If your vehicle has Toyota optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, one on
each wheel will lock the tires and you must use a special key to unlock
them. This key will attach to the lug wrench. Register them with the
lock manufacturer by filling out the card provided in the glove com-
partment and mailing it in the accompanying envelope. If you lose this
key, consult your Toyota dealer or use the lock manufacturer’s order
form, which is with the registration card.
Accessory wheel locks cannot be used on steel wheels. This includes
situations when the spare tire is installed. If the spare tire is installed,
one of the original lug nuts (which should still be in the vehicle) must
be installed in place of the wheel lock.Antitheft lug nut

■To remove an antitheft lug nutObtain the special key for the antitheft lug nut.
Place the special key on top of the antitheft lug nut, and be sure
to hold the key square to it. If you hold the key at an angle, you
may damage both key and nut. Do not use a power impact
wrench.
Place the lug wrench on top of the key and apply pressure. Turn
the wrench counterclockwise.

WARNING
■Make sure the mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and lug nuts
are clean before changing or replacing tires
When changing or replacing a tire, not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and hub bolts is dangerous. The
lug nuts could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, result-
ing in an accident.
■Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts and do not tighten
the lug nuts beyond the recommended tightening torque
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
■Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The wheel
could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and
cause a serious accident.
■Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them
with metric nuts of the same configuration
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts on your Toyota have metric
threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On a metric stud, it would
not secure the wheel and would damage the stud, which could cause
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
■Do not drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure
Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. When
you check the regular tires’ air pressure, check the spare tire, too.

Remove the battery cover.
Make sure the booster battery is 12 V and that its negative terminal
is grounded.
If the booster battery is in another vehicle, do not allow both vehi-
cles to touch. Turn off the engine of the vehicle with the booster bat-
tery and all unnecessary electrical loads in both vehicles.
Connect the jumper cables in the exact sequence as in the illustra-
tion.
• Connect one end of a cable to the positive terminal on the dis- charged battery (1).
• Attach the other end to the positive terminal on the booster battery (2).
• Connect one end of the other cable to the negative terminal of the booster battery (3).
• Connect the other end to the ground point indicated in the illustra- tion away from the discharged battery (4).
Start the engine of the booster vehicle and run it a few minutes.
Then start the engine of the other vehicle.
When finished, carefully disconnect the cables in the reverse order
described in the illustration.
If the battery cover has been removed, install it in the reverse order
of removal.
Verify that the covers are securely installed.
