5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
■ Replacing a flat tire
●
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 103 N·m
(10.5 kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
• 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 autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered
ends facing inward. (→P. 449)
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
■
When using the full-size spare tire (vehicles with the tire pressure
warning system or a spare tire of different wheel type from the installed
tires)
● Replace the full-size spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.
●
Avoid sudden acceleration, deceleration and braking, as well as sharp cor-
nering.
■
When using the compact spare tire
●
Remember that your compact spare tire is specifically designed for use
with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire on another vehicle.
●
Do not use more than one compact spare tire simultaneously.
●
Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.
●
Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
