In case of emergency
9. Use the wheel nut wrench to securely tighten the
wheel nuts to the specified torque, following the tight-
ening order in the illustration. The torque for tightening
the nuts is 74 to 89 lbf·ft (100 to 120 N·m, 10 to 12
kgf·m). This torque is equivalent to applying approxi-
mately 88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50 kg) at the top of the
wheel nut wrench provided with your vehicle. Never
use your foot on the wheel nut wrench or a pipe exten-
sion on the wrench because you may exceed the
specified torque. Have the wheel nut torque checked
at the nearest automotive service facility.
Storage of the flat tire
Secure the flat tire in the cargo bed (with the
outer side of the wheel facing up) by using the
designated tire holding rod and retainer. If the
flat tire is not properly secured, it may fall out
and create a dangerous road hazard that could
lead to a serious accident.
Do not store the flat tire under the floor. Do-
ing so could damage the underside of the vehi-
cle.
1. Take the tire holding rod and retainer out of the tool
9-16
bag.
2. Remove the rubber cap from the cargo bed. Store
the rubber cap in a safe place. Pay attention not to
lose the rubber cap after removal.
