After Using The Tools And Jack; When Stowing The Flat Tire - Lexus CT 200h Owner's Manual

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
Replacing a flat tire
■
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.
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 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m,
10.5 kgf•m) 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 your Lexus dealer.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered ends
facing inward. (P. 563)

After using the tools and jack

■
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision or sudden
braking.

When stowing the flat tire

■
Make sure the rear seatbacks are in their original position.
●
Secure it using a tire tie-down belt. Otherwise, the flat tire may fly out in case of
●
sudden braking or an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
