5. Position the tire edge against the
rear center end of the rear luggage
storage box lid. Then pull the ends
of the belts to secure the tire se-
curely.
After stowing the flat tire, check that
the tire and belts are secured.
To loosen the tire tie- down belts, see
“Tie- down hooks and tire tie- down
belts” on page 176 in Section 1- 10.
11.Check the air pressure of the re-
placed tire.
Adjust the air pressure to the specifi-
cation designated on page 306 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
possibly cause air leakage. If the cap
is missing, have a new one put on as
soon as possible.
As soon after changing wheels as
possible, tighten the wheel nuts to the
torque specified on page 306 in Sec-
tion 8 with a torque wrench. Have a
technician repair the flat tire.
