When removing the jack, loosen the bolt and remove it. When storing, install the bolt until the jack is firmly secured to prevent it from flying forward during a collision or sudden braking. To remove the spare tire: 1. Open the back door, and you will find the spare tire clamp bolt cap near the back door latch. 2. Remove the cap. 3. Loosen the spare tire clamp bolt with the wheel nut wrench. 4. Unlock the clamp from the tire holder while lifting the holder slightly up. The spare tire will drop to the ground. When storing the spare tire, put it in place with the outer side of the wheel facing up. Then secure the tire by repeating the above removal steps in reverse order to prevent it from flying forward during a collision or sudden braking. If you put a compact spare tire into the tire holder for a standard tire, you will need a stopper to keep the tire firmly in place. Contact your Toyota dealer for details. 160
