WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

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

• Lower the spare tire completely to the ground before removing it

from under the vehicle.

• Do not try to remove the wheel ornament by hand. Take due care in

handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury.

• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off

the wheel while the vehicle is moving.

• Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi-

ately 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.

●

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

• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench as soon as pos-

sible after changing wheels.
Steel wheel: 154 ft·lbf (209 N·m, 21.3 kgf·m)
Aluminum wheel: 97 ft·lbf (131 N·m, 13.4 kgf·m)

• When installing a tire, only use wheel nuts that have been specifi-

cally 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 ends facing inward. (

→P. 420)

473

SEQUOIA_OM_USA_OM0C011U

Remove any dirt or foreign mat-
ter from the wheel contact sur-
face.

If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact surface, the wheel nuts
may loosen while the vehicle is in
motion, causing the tire to come
off.

Install the spare tire and loosely
tighten each wheel nut by hand
by approximately the same
amount.

Tighten the nuts until the tapered
portion comes into loose contact
with the disc wheel.
