■
If the spare tire cannot be lowered
If the spare tire cannot be lowered, it may not have been stowed properly.
Perform the following procedure:
Fully tighten the spare tire clamp bolt by
1
turning the jack handle clockwise until
two clicks are heard and the jack handle
skips.
Turn the jack handle counterclockwise
2
to lower the spare tire.
If the spare tire still cannot be lowered,
attempt to fully tighten the spare tire
clamp bolt again by turning the jack
handle clockwise. Then turn it counter-
clockwise at least 2 turns to lower the
spare tire.
If the spare tire still cannot be lowered, the wire cable may be severed. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
