10. Reinstall the wheel ornament.

1. Put the wheel ornament into position.

Align the cutout of the wheel ornament

with the valve stem as shown.

2. Tap it firmly with the side or heel of

your hand to snap it into place.

CAUTION

Take due care in handling the orna-
ment to avoid unexpected personal

injury.

11. Check the air pressure of the re-

placed tire.

Adjust the air pressure to the specification
designed on page 290 in Section 8. If the

pressure is lower, drive slowly to the

nearest service station and fill to the cor-
rect pressure.
Do not forget to reinstall the tire inflation
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.

12. Restow all the tools, jack and flat

tire securely.

As soon after changing wheels as pos-

sible, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque
specified on page 290 in Section 8 with

a torque wrench. Have a technician repair

the flat tire and replace the spare tire with
it.

CAUTION

Before driving, make sure all the
tools, jack and flat tire are securely

in place in their storage location to

reduce the possibility of personal in-
jury during a collision or sudden

braking.

If your vehicle becomes stuck in snow,

mud, sand, etc., then you may attempt

to rock the vehicle free by moving it
forward and backward.
Vehicles with traction control system—
Turn off the traction control system to

become unstuck to allow the tires to

spin enough to remove the vehicle from
the obstruction. (For details, see “Trac-

tion control system” on page 124 in

Section 1

−

6.)

CAUTION

Do not attempt to rock the vehicle
free by moving it forward and back-

ward if people or objects are any-

where near the vehicle. During the
rocking operation the vehicle may

suddenly move forward or backward

as it becomes unstuck, causing injury
or damage to nearby people or ob-

jects.
