5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
Replacing a flat tire
If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or
bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and
the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
When installing the wheel nuts
Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the tapered end facing inward.
(P. 653)
After using the tools and jack
Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their
storage location to reduce the possibility of personal injury during a collision
or sudden braking.
NOTICE
Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire.
Do not continue driving with a flat tire.
Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the
wheel beyond repair.
When stowing the flat tire (vehicles with under floor mounted spare
tire)
Ensure that there is no object caught between the tire and the vehicle under-
body.
When assembling the jack handle extension
Tighten all the joints securely. Otherwise the extension may come off and it
may damage the paint or vehicle body.
