WARNING

Replacing a flat tire

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury:

Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
Remove the spare tire before jacking up the vehicle. If the spare tire is removed after jacking up the vehicle, the tire carrier and the spare tire may interfere with the jack and cause a serious accident.

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting on death or serious injury.

Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf (103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifically designed for that wheel.
If there are any cracks or deformations in the bolt screws, nut threads or bolt holes of the wheel, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered end facing inward.

For vehicles with power sliding door and/or power back door: In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power sliding door main switch and/or the power back door main switch . Failure to do so may cause the sliding door and/or the back door to operate unintentionally if the power sliding door switch and/or the power back door switch is accidentally touched, resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured.
