cure it using a tire tie−down
belts. Otherwise, the flat tire

—After changing wheels
10. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 429. If the
pressure is lower than specified, drive
slowly to the nearest Toyota dealer
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 pos-
sibly cause air leakage. If the cap is
missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
As soon as possible after changing
wheels, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 429 with a
torque wrench. Have a technician re-
pair the flat tire.
After repairing the flat tire, change it
with compact spare tire and reinstall
the wheel ornament.
CAUTION
Take due care in handling the or-
nament to avoid unexpected per-
sonal injury.
