—After changing wheels
11. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 354. If the
pressure is lower, drive slowly to the
nearest service station and fill to the
correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire infla-
tion valve cap as dirt and moisture
could get into the valve core and
possibly cause air leakage. If the cap
is missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
12. Restow all the tools, jack and
flat tire securely.
As soon after changing wheels as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 354 with a
torque wrench. Have a technician re-
pair the flat tire.
This is the same procedure for chang-
ing or rotating your tires.

CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are se-
curely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden braking.
If your vehicle becomes
stuck
If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt to
rock the vehicle free by moving it forward
and backward.
If your vehicle is equipped with the trac-
tion control system, turn off the system to
become unstuck to allow the tires to spin
enough to remove the vehicle from the
obstruction. (For details, see "Vehicle sta-
bility control system" on page 154.)
CAUTION
Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-
ward if people or objects are any-
where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation
the vehicle may
suddenly move forward or backward
as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-
jects.
