5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
Using the jack handle
■
Tighten all the jack handle bolts securely using a Phillips-head screw-
driver, to prevent the extension parts from coming apart unexpectedly.
Replacing a flat tire
■
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of death or serious
injury.
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
●
handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.
Never use oil or grease on the wheel bolts or wheel nuts.
●
Oil and grease may cause the wheel nuts to be excessively tightened,
leading to bolt or disc wheel damage. In addition, the oil or grease can
cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the wheel may fall off, causing a
serious accident. Remove any oil or grease from the wheel bolts or
wheel nuts.
Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 83 ft•lbf (110
●
N•m, 11.5 kgf•m) 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 your Toyota
dealer.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen
and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
