9-10 In case of emergency

17. Use the wheel nut wrench to securely

tighten the wheel nuts to the specified

torque, following the tightening order in the

illustration.

Wheel nuts tightening torque for tem-

porary spare tire:

74 to 89 lbf·ft (100 to 120 N·m, 10 to 12

kgf·m)

This torque is equivalent to applying the

following load on the edge of the wheel

nut wrench.

When you use a wheel nut wrench of

the 11.2-inch (285 mm) length:

Approximately 88 to 110 lbs (40 to 50

kg)

When you use a wheel nut wrench of

the 13.2-inch (335 mm) length:

Approximately 73 to 87 lbs (33 to 38 kg)

Never use your foot on the wheel nut

wrench or a pipe extension on the wrench

because you may exceed the specified

torque. Have the wheel nut torque

checked at the nearest automotive service

facility.

WARNING

Do not use the extension when

turning the wheel nuts. If you did,

you would not be able to achieve

sufficient tightening torque. The

wheel nuts could then come loose,

resulting in a serious accident.

18. Store the flat tire in the spare tire

holder.

Refer to the “Spare tire” section in this

chapter for its location, instructions and

precautions.

CAUTION

. When stowing a flat tire in the

spare tire holder, turn the hoist

shaft end only slowly. If it i s

turned quickly, the wheel disc of

the flat tire could be damaged.

. A full-size flat tire should be

stowed in the spare tire holder

in an emergency only. After hav-

ing the flat tire repaired, immedi-

ately swap it with the temporary

spare tire.

. Remember that the tread width of

a flat tire is wider than that of the

temporary spare tire. When car-

rying a flat tire stowed in the

spare tire holder, make sure the

tire does not touch any obsta-

cles.

WARNING

Never place a tire or tire changing

tools in the passenger compartment

after changing wheels. In a sudden

stop or collisions, loose equipment
