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 103 N•m

(10.5 kgf•m, 76 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-

• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered

ends facing inward. (P. 453)
