5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
Using the jack handle
Tighten all the jack handle bolts securely using a Phillips-head screwdriver
or your hand, to prevent the extension parts from coming apart unexpect-
edly.
Replacing a flat tire
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury:
Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately
after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the
brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or
other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it from
under the vehicle.
Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in han-
dling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 105 N•m
(10.7 kgf•m, 77 ft•lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifically
designed for that wheel.
If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or
bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and
the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
