CAUTION
■
Replacing a flat tire
●
Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immedi-
ately after the vehicle has been driven.
After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around
the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet
or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.
●
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to
loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.
• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft•lbf
(103 N•m, 10.5 kgf•m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.
Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheels may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death
or serious injury.
• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the
wheel while the vehicle is moving.
• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered
ends facing inward. (

■
Replacing a flat tire for vehicles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power back
door main switch (

P. 59). Failure to do so may cause the back door to
operate unintentionally if the power back door switch is accidentally touched,
resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured.
