6-2. Flat Tire
WARNING
Make sure the mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and lug nuts
■
are clean before changing or replacing tires
When changing or replacing a tire, not removing dirt and grime from the
mounting surfaces of the wheel, hub and hub bolts is dangerous. The
lug nuts could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, result-
ing in an accident.
Do not apply oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts and do not tighten
■
the lug nuts beyond the recommended tightening torque
Applying oil or grease to lug nuts and bolts is dangerous. The lug nuts
could loosen while driving and cause the tire to come off, resulting in an
accident. In addition, lug nuts and bolts could be damaged if tightened
more than necessary.
Always securely and correctly tighten the lug nuts
■
Improperly or loosely tightened lug nuts are dangerous. The wheel
could wobble or come off. This could result in loss of vehicle control and
cause a serious accident.
Be sure to reinstall the same nuts you removed or replace them
■
with metric nuts of the same configuration
Because the wheel studs and lug nuts on your Toyota have metric
threads, using a non-metric nut is dangerous. On a metric stud, it would
not secure the wheel and would damage the stud, which could cause
the wheel to slip off and cause an accident.
Do not drive with any tires that have incorrect air pressure
■
Driving on tires with incorrect air pressure is dangerous. Tires with
incorrect pressure could affect handling and result in an accident. When
you check the regular tires' air pressure, check the spare tire, too.
