Adjust the air pressure to the specification designated on page 313. If the pressure is lower than specified, drive slowly to the nearest Toyota dealer and fill to the correct pressure.

If the cap is missing, have a new one put on as soon as possible. As soon as possible after changing wheels, tighten the wheel nuts to the torque specified on page 313 with a torque wrench. Have a technician repair the flat tire. After repairing the flat tire, change it with compact spare tire and reinstall the wheel ornament. CAUTION Take due care in handling the ornament to avoid unexpected personal injury. 253
