gradually by rotating the screw
with your hand until the jack
head is inserted into the jack-up
position.
When raising the jack head into the
jacking position and aligning the
groove in the jack head with the rail

the jack head contacts the vehi-
cle’s underbody without the rail
contacting the bottom of the
groove.
Insert the jack lever and attach
the lug wrench to tire jack.
Turn the jack handle clockwise
and raise the vehicle high
enough so that the spare tire
can be installed. Before remov-
ing the lug nuts, make sure
your Toyota is firmly in position
and that it cannot slip or move.
Remove the lug nuts by turning them counterclockwise; then
remove the wheel and center cap.
