Toyota Camry (XV70): Replacing a flat tire
1. Chock the tires.
2. For vehicles with steel wheels, remove the wheel ornament using the wrench.
To protect the wheel ornament, place a rag between the wrench and the wheel ornament, as shown in the illustration.
3. Slightly loosen the wheel nuts (one turn).
Vehicles with wheel locks: Use the wheel lock key to loosen the wheel lock.
4. Turn the tire jack portion "A" by hand until the notch of the jack is in contact with the jack point.
To prevent damage to the vehicle when using the jack, position the jack in the correct location.
The jack point guides are located under the rocker panel. They indicate the jack point positions.
5. Assemble the jack handle.
6. Raise the vehicle until the tire is slightly raised off the ground.
7. 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.
WARNING
■Replacing a flat tire
- 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.
- 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 to 76 ft-lbf (103 N-m, 10.5 kgf-m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
- Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel while the vehicle is moving.
- 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 ends facing inward.
