. When you store a flat tire, be sure
to set the rear seatback to the

the seatback, an accident or
injury may occur when the flat
tire suddenly moves.

tighten the wheel nuts to the specified
torque, following the tightening order in the

For the wheel nut tightening torque, refer
to “Tires” F12-8. Never use your foot on
the wheel nut wrench or a pipe extension
on the wrench because you may exceed
the specified torque. Have the wheel nut
torque checked at the nearest automotive
service facility.
