4. Lower the vehicle slowly until the tire

touches the ground. Then, with the wheel
nut wrench, tighten the wheel nuts securely
in the sequence illustrated (

᭺

). Lower the vehicle completely.

WARNING

● Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly

tightened wheel nuts can cause the
wheel to become loose or come off.
This could cause an accident.

● Do not use oil or grease on the wheel

studs or nuts. This could cause the nuts
to become loose.

● Retighten the wheel nuts when the ve-

hicle has been driven for 600 miles
(1,000 km) (also in cases of a flat tire,
etc.).

As soon as possible, tighten the wheel nuts
to the specified torque with a torque
wrench.

Wheel nut tightening torque:

83 ft-lb (113 N·m)

The wheel nuts must be kept tightened to
specification at all times. It is recom-
mended that wheel nuts be tightened to
specifications at each lubrication interval.

Adjust the tire pressure to the COLD pres-
sure.

COLD pressure: After vehicle has been
parked for three hours or more or driven
less than 1 mile (1.6 km).

COLD tire pressures are shown on the Tire
and Loading Information label affixed to
the driver side center pillar.

After adjusting the tire pressure to the
COLD tire pressure, the display of the tire
pressure information may show higher
pressure than the COLD tire pressure after
the vehicle has been driven more than
1 mile (1.6 km). This is because the tire
pressure increases as the tire temperature
rises. This does not indicate a system mal-
function.

5. Securely store the flat tire and jacking equip-

ment in the vehicle.

WARNING

● Always make sure that the spare tire

and jacking equipment are properly se-
cured after use. Such items can become
dangerous projectiles in an accident or
sudden stop.

● The spare tire is designed for emer-

gency use. See specific instructions un-
der the heading “Wheels and tires” in
the “Maintenance and do-it-yourself”
section of this manual.

Reinstalling the temporary spare tire to
