5. Remove the wheel nuts with the wheel nut
wrench, then take the wheel off.
6. Clean out any mud, etc. on the hub sur-
face (F), hub bolts (G) or in the installa-
tion holes (H) in the wheel, and then
mount the spare tire.
7. Turn the wheel nut clockwise by hand to
initially tighten them.
Temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flange parts of the wheel
nuts make light contact with the wheel
and the wheel is not loose.
WARNING
 Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon as the
tire is raised off the ground. It is danger-
ous to raise the vehicle any higher.
 Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack.
 Do not bump the raised vehicle or leave it
sitting on the jack for a long time. Both
are very dangerous.
 Do not use a jack except the one that came
with your vehicle.
 The jack should not be used for any pur-
pose other than to change a tire.
 No one should be in your vehicle when
using the jack.
 Do not start the Plug-in Hybrid EV system
while your vehicle is on the jack.

Do not turn the raised wheel. The tires
that are still on the ground could turn and
make your vehicle fall off the jack.
CAUTION
 Handle the wheel carefully when changing
the tire, to avoid scratching the wheel sur-
face.
WARNING
 Mount the spare wheel with the valve stem
(I) facing outward. If you cannot see the
valve stem (I), you have installed the
wheel backwards.
Operating the vehicle with the spare wheel
installed backwards can cause vehicle
damage and result in an accident.
CAUTION
 Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts or they will tighten too much.
