1 Remove any dirt or foreign
matter from the wheel con-
tact surfaces and wheel
bolts.
If foreign matter is on the wheel
contact surface, the wheel bolts
may loosen while the vehicle is in
motion, causing the tire to come off.

wheel is touching the contact sur-
face.

bolt by hand or using a wheel

■ When tightening the wheel
bolts
Do not tighten the wheel bolts
excessively.
Doing so may cause the wheel
bolts, the threads of the wheel
hub, or the wheel to be damaged.
■ Guide pin
When removing or installing a tire,
make sure to use the guide pin.
Also, the guide pin is made of
resin. It may be damaged if the
wheel is placed anywhere other
than or if a large amount of
force is applied to the guide pin.
■ Replacing a flat tire for vehi-
cles with power back door
In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to cancel the
power back door system

door switch is accidentally
touched, resulting in hands and
fingers being caught and injured.
