5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

PRIUS_U (OM47685U) DVD

Remove all the wheel nuts and
the tire.

When resting the tire on the
ground, place the tire so that the
wheel design faces up to avoid
scratching the wheel surface.

Installing the spare tire

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, and the tire may
come off the vehicle.

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

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