with torque wrench to 103 N·m
(10.5 kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf), as soon
as possible after changing
wheels. Otherwise, the nuts
may loosen and the wheels
may fall off, which could cause

9. Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 244 in
Section 8. If the pressure is lower,
drive slowly to the nearest service
station and fill to the correct pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire infla-
tion valve cap as dirt and moisture
could get into the valve core and pos-
sibly cause air leakage. If the cap is
missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
10.Restow all the tools, jack and
flat tire securely.
As soon as possible after changing
wheels, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 244 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire and re-
place the spare tire with it.
CAUTION
Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are se-
curely in place in their storage
location to reduce the possibility
of personal injury during a colli-
sion or sudden braking.
