If you have a flat tire— 1. Reduce your speed gradually, keeping a straight line. Move cau- tiously off the road to a safe place well away from the traffic. Avoid stopping on the center divider of a highway. Park on a level spot with firm ground.

2. Stop the hybrid system and turn

on your emergency flashers. 3. Firmly set the parking brake. 4. Have everyone get out of the ve- hicle on the side away from traffic. 5. Read the following instructions

thoroughly.

CAUTION

When jacking, be sure to observe the following to reduce the possi- bility of death or serious injury: D Follow jacking instructions. D Do not put any part of your body under a vehicle sup- ported by a jack. Personal inju- ry may occur.

D Do not start or run the hybrid system while your vehicle is supported by the jack.

D Stop the vehicle at a level firm ground, firmly set the parking brake. Block the wheel diago- nally opposite to the one being changed if necessary.

361

D Make sure to set the jack prop- erly in the jack point. Raising the vehicle with jack improper- ly positioned will damage the vehicle or may allow the ve- hicle to fall off the jack and cause personal injury.

D Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.

D Use the jack only for lifting your vehicle during wheel changing.

D Do not raise the vehicle with

someone in the vehicle.

D When raising the vehicle, do not place any objects on top of or underneath the jack.

D Raise the vehicle only high enough to remove and change the tire.

362

NOTICE

Do not continue driving with a deflated tire. Driving even a short distance can damage a tire and wheel beyond repair.

50p007a

Compact spare tire The compact spare tire is designed for temporary emergency use only. The compact spare tire is identified by the distinctive wording “TEM- PORARY USE ONLY” molded into the side wall of the tire. The compact spare tire saves space in your luggage compartment, and its lighter weight helps to improve fuel economy and permits easier installa- tion in case of a flat tire.

The compact spare tire can be used many times, if necessary. It has tread life of up to 4800 km (3000 miles) de- pending on road conditions and your driving habits. When tread wear indi- cators appear on the tire, replace the tire. See also the tire information on page 407 for details on the tread wear indi- cators and other service information.

CAUTION

NOTICE

is re- Your ground clearance duced when the compact spare tire is installed so avoid driving over obstacles and drive slowly on rough, unpaved roads and speed bumps. Also, do not at- tempt to go through an auto- matic car wash as the vehicle may get caught, resulting in damage.

D The compact spare tire was de- signed especially for your To- yota. Do not use it on any other vehicle.

D Do not use more than one com- pact spare tire at the same time.

D Do not exceed 80 km/h (50
mph) when driving with the compact spare tire.

D Replace the compact spare tire with the standard tire as soon as possible.

D Avoid sudden acceleration, sudden deceleration and sharp turns with the compact spare tire.

1. Get the required tools and spare

tire. 1 Wheel nut wrench 2 Jack handle 3 Jack 4 Spare tire

To open the luggage storage box, see “Luggage storage box” on page 314. To prepare yourself for an emergency, you should familiarize yourself with the use of the jack, each of the tools and their storage locations.

364

To remove the jack, unlock the tight- ening strap. To store the jack, make sure it is se- curely held by the tightening strap.

To remove the spare tire: 1. Remove the luggage storage box. 2. Loosen the bolt and remove it. 3. Remove the jack box. Then take the spare tire out of the vehicle. When storing the spare tire, put it in place with the inner side of the wheel facing up. Then secure the tire by re- peating the above removal steps in reverse order to prevent it from flying forward during a collision or sudden braking.

When installing the jack box, align the arrows on the jack box with the ones on the body.

—Blocking the wheel

—Loosening wheel nuts

50p011b

50p085a

2. Block the wheel diagonally op- posite the flat tire to keep the vehicle from rolling when it is jacked up.

When chocking the wheel, place a wheel block in front of one of the front wheels or behind one of the rear wheels.

3. Loosen all the wheel nuts. Always loosen the wheel nuts before raising the vehicle. Turn the wheel nuts counterclockwise to loosen them. To get maximum le- verage, fit the wrench to the nut so that the handle is on the right side, as shown above. Grab the wrench near the end of the handle and pull up on the handle. Be careful that the wrench does not slip off the nut. Do not remove the nuts yet—just un- screw them about one−half turn in the order shown.

365

—Positioning the jack

—Raising your vehicle

CAUTION

Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. The nuts may loos- en and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious ac- cident.

50p014e

50p015c

4. Position the jack at the jack

points as shown.

Make sure the jack is positioned on a level and solid place.

5. After making sure no one is in the vehicle, raise it high enough so that the spare tire can be installed.

Remember you will need more ground clearance when putting on the spare tire than when removing the flat tire. To raise the vehicle, insert the jack handle into the jack (it is a loose fit) and turn it clockwise. As the jack touches the vehicle and begins to lift, double−check that it is properly posi- tioned.

366

—Changing wheels

CAUTION

Never get under the vehicle when the vehicle is supported by the jack alone.

50p086

50p017c

6. Remove the wheel nuts and

change tires.

Lift the flat tire straight off and put it aside. Roll the spare wheel into position and align the holes in the wheel with the bolts. Then lift up the wheel and get at least the top bolt started through its hole. Wiggle the tire and press it back over the other bolts.

Before putting on wheels, remove any corrosion on the mounting surfaces with a wire brush or such. Installation of wheels without good metal−to−met- al contact at the mounting surface can cause wheel nuts to loosen and even- tually cause a wheel to come off while driving.

367

—Reinstalling wheel nuts

—Lowering your vehicle

CAUTION

Never use oil or grease on the bolts or nuts. Doing so may lead to overtightening the nuts and damaging the bolts. The nuts may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a seri- ous accident. If there is oil or grease on any bolt or nut, clean it.

50p019c

8. Lower the vehicle completely

and tighten the wheel nuts.

Turn the jack handle counterclock- wise to lower the vehicle. Use only the wheel nut wrench to tighten the nuts. Do not use other tools or any additional leverage other than your hands, such as a hammer, pipe or your foot. Make sure the wrench is securely engaged over the nut. Tighten each nut a little at a time in the order shown. Repeat the process until all the nuts are tight.

50p018c

7. Reinstall all the wheel nuts fin-

ger tight.

Reinstall the wheel nuts (tapered end inward) and tighten them as much as you can by hand. Press back on the tire and see if you can tighten them more.

368

—Stowing flat tire 9. Restow all the tools and jack se- curely. Then secure the flat tire in the luggage compartment with the tire tie−down belts and tie−down hooks as follows

CAUTION

Before driving, make sure all the tools and jack are securely in place in their storage location to reduce the possibility of person- al injury during a collision or sudden braking.

CAUTION

D When

lowering the vehicle, make sure all portions of your body and all other persons around will not be injured as the vehicle is lowered to the ground.

D Have the wheel nuts tightened with torque wrench to 103 N·m (10.5 kgf·m, 76 ft·lbf), as soon as possible after changing wheels. Otherwise, the nuts may loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could cause a serious accident.

D Do not attach a heavily dam- aged plastic wheel ornament. It may fly off the wheel and cause accidents while the ve- hicle is moving.

50p081a

1. Before stowing the flat tire, remove the center wheel ornament by pushing from the reverse side.

Be careful not to lose the wheel orna- ment.

369

50p082a

50p083a

50p084a

2. Put the flat tire on the center of the luggage storage box lid with the outer side of the wheel facing up. Hook one ends of the belts to the front tie−down hooks.

3. Pass the belts through the center hole of the wheel as shown above.

4. Attach the other ends of the belts

to the rear tie−down hooks.

After stowing the flat tire, check that the tire and belts are secured.

370

CAUTION

Take due care in handling the or- nament to avoid unexpected per- sonal injury.

CAUTION

D Make sure the rear seats are in

their original position.

D When carrying the flat tire, se- cure it using a tire tie−down belts. Otherwise, the flat tire may fly out in case of the sud- den braking or an accident, re- sulting in death or serious inju- ry.

—After changing wheels 10. Check the air pressure of the re-

placed tire.

Adjust the air pressure to the specifi- cation designated on page 429. If the pressure is lower than specified, drive slowly to the nearest Toyota dealer and fill to the correct pressure. Do not forget to reinstall the tire infla- tion valve cap as dirt and moisture could get into the valve core and pos- sibly cause air leakage. 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 429 with a torque wrench. Have a technician re- pair the flat tire. After repairing the flat tire, change it with compact spare tire and reinstall the wheel ornament.

373

CAUTION

Use extreme caution when towing ve- hicles. Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which would place excessive stress on the emergency towing eyelet and towing cable or chain. The eyelet and towing cable or chain may break and cause serious injury or damage.

NOTICE

Use only a cable or chain specifically intended for use in towing vehicles. Securely fasten the cable or chain to the towing eyelet provided.

Before towing, release the parking brake and put the hybrid transaxle in “N”. The hybrid system must be in the “IG−ON” mode. In the following cases, as the front wheels might be locked by means of the parking lock mechanism, your vehicle cannot be towed by another vehicle using a rope. Have your vehicle carried with the front wheels or all the wheels raised. D If the parking mechanism fails. D If the 12 volt battery is discharged.

CAUTION

If the hybrid system is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering will not work so steering and braking will be much harder than usu- al.

BASIC HYBRID VEHICLE OPERATION Hybrid Synergy Drive System The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer controlled gasoline engine and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied, braking force generates electricity which is then sent to the battery. In addition, the engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy, reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.

Note: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are shown on the multi- information display. Tips for improved fuel economy

Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner's Manual. Link trips, if possible, to reduce engine cold starts. Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway. When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy. Minimize use of the air conditioning.

•The vehicle has both high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt system. DC and AC high voltage are both very dangerous and can cause death, severe burns, electric shock or other serious injuries. •In order to avoid personal injuries, do not touch, remove or replace high voltage cables which are colored orange, and/or their connectors, high voltage parts such as the inverter unit, Hybrid vehicle battery, etc.

Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
