How to change a tyre
WARNING
8
l
Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to the
correct tyre when jacking up the vehicle.
If the vehicle moves while jacked up, the
jack could slip out of position, leading to
an accident.
NOTE
l
The chocks shown in the illustration do not
come with your vehicle. It is recommended
that you keep one in the vehicle for use if
needed.
l
If chocks or blocks are not available, use
stones or any other objects that are large
enough to hold the wheel in position.
6. Get the jack bar and wheel nut wrench
ready.
Refer to "Tool and jack" on page 8-06.

For emergencies
Spare wheel information*
Check the air pressure of the spare tyre fre-
quently and make sure it is ready for emer-
gency use at any time.
Maintaining the spare wheel at the highest
specified air pressure will ensure that it can
always be used under any conditions (city/
high-speed driving, varying load weight,
etc.).
The spare wheel is stored beneath the lug-
gage floor board of the luggage compartment.
CAUTION
l
The pressure should be periodically checked
and maintained at the specified pressure
while the tyre is stowed.
Driving with an insufficient tyre pressure
can lead to an accident. If you have no
choice but to drive with an insufficient tyre
pressure, keep your speed down and inflate
the tyre to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to "Tyre inflation pressures"
on page 10-13.)
l
When the tread wear indicators appear, the
tyre must be replaced.
Refer to "Wheel condition" on page 10-14.

Temporary spare wheel (spare
wheel with a speed limit label)*
E00803601843
The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is stored
beneath the luggage floor board of the lug-
gage compartment. It is designed to save
space in the luggage compartment and its
light weight makes it easy to handle in the
event of a flat tyre.
CAUTION
l
The temporary spare wheel is for temporary
use only and should be removed as soon as
the original wheel can be repaired or re-
placed. (For vehicles that are equipped with
a tyre pressure monitoring system, while the
temporary spare wheel is being used, the
tyre pressure monitoring system will not
function properly.)
l
The vehicle must not be driven at speeds in
excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) while using the
temporary spare wheel.
l
The T155/90D16 size spare wheel is not as
good as a standard wheel in controllability
and stability. When the temporary spare
wheel is used, avoid quick starts, sudden
braking and sharp steering.
The tyre size of the 215/65R16 size tempo-
rary spare tyre is different from that of the
standard tyre. When the temporary spare
tyre is used, avoid quick starts, sudden brak-
ing and sharp steering.
