Toyota Venza: Installing the spare tire


Remove any dirt or foreign matter from the wheel contact surface.

If foreign matter is on the wheel contact surface, the wheel nuts may loosen while the vehicle is in motion, and the tire may come off the vehicle.


Install the spare tire and loosely tighten each nut by hand to approximately the same amount.

Tighten the wheel nuts until the tapered portion comes into loose contact with the disc wheel sheet.


Lower the vehicle.


Firmly tighten each nut two or three times in the order shown in the illustration.

Tightening torque:

76 ft• lbf (103 N• m, 10.5 kgf• m)

Stow the flat tire, tire jack and
all tools.

 - The compact spare tire

• The compact spare tire is identified by the label “TEMPORARY USE ONLY” on the tire sidewall.

Use the compact spare tire temporarily only in an emergency.

• Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.

- When using the compact spare tire

As the spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, low inflation pressure of the spare tire will not be warned.

Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.

- If you have a flat front tire on a road covered with snow or ice

Install the compact spare tire on the rear of the vehicle. Perform the following steps and fit tire chains to the front tires.

Replace a rear tire with the compact
spare tire.

Replace the flat front tire with
the tire removed from the rear of the vehicle.

Fit tire chains to the front tires.


CAUTION

 - Using the tire jack

Improper use of the tire jack may lead to death or serious injuries due to the vehicle suddenly falling off the jack.

• Do not use the tire jack for any purpose other than replacing tires or installing and removing tire chains.

• Only use the tire jack that comes with this vehicle for replacing a flat tire.

Do not use it on other vehicles, and do not use other tire jacks for replacing tires on this vehicle.

• Always check that the tire jack is securely set to the jack point.

• Do not raise the vehicle while someone is in it.

• When raising the vehicle, do not put an object on or under the jack.

• Do not raise the vehicle to a height greater than that required to replace the tire.

• Use a jack stand if it is necessary to get under the vehicle.

• Do not put any part of your body under the vehicle supported by a jack.

• Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by the jack.

Take particular care when lowering the vehicle to ensure that no one working on or near the vehicle may be injured.

CAUTION

 - Replacing a flat tire

• Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes immediately after the vehicle has been driven.

After the vehicle has been driven the disc wheels and the area around the brakes will be extremely hot. Touching these areas with hands, feet or other body parts while changing a tire, etc. may result in burns.

• Failure to follow these precautions could cause the wheel nuts to loosen and the tire to fall off, resulting in death or serious injury.

• Have the wheel nuts tightened with a torque wrench to 76 ft

• lbf (103 N• m, 10.5 kgf• m) as soon as possible after changing wheels.

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and the wheels may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.

• Do not attach a heavily damaged wheel ornament, as it may fly off the wheel while the vehicle is moving.

• When installing the wheel nuts, be sure to install them with the tapered ends facing inward.

- Replacing a flat tire for vehicles with power back door

In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power back door main switch . Failure to do so may cause the back door to operate unintentionally if the power back door switch is accidentally touched, resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured.

CAUTION

 - When using the compact spare tire

• Remember that your compact spare tire is specifically designed for use with your vehicle. Do not use your compact spare tire on another vehicle.

• Do not use more than one compact spare tire simultaneously.

• Replace the compact spare tire with a standard tire as soon as possible.

• Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting operations that cause sudden engine braking.

- Speed limit when using the compact spare tire


Do not drive at speeds in excess of 50 mph (80 km/h) when a compact spare tire is installed on the vehicle.

The compact spare tire is not designed for driving at high speeds. Failing to observe this precaution may lead to an accident causing death or serious injury.

- When the compact spare tire is attached

The vehicle speed may not be correctly detected, and the following systems may not operate correctly:

• ABS & Brake assist • VSC

• TRAC

• Cruise control system • Intuitive parking assist • Navigation system (if equipped)

Also, not only can the AWD system not be utilized fully, it may actually negatively effect the drive-train components (AWD models only).

NOTICE
 - Do not drive the vehicle with a flat tire

Do not continue driving with a flat tire.

Driving even a short distance with a flat tire can damage the tire and the wheel beyond repair.

 - Be careful when driving over bumps with the compact spare tire installed on the vehicle


The vehicle becomes lower when driving with the compact spare tire compared to when driving with standard tires. Be careful when driving over uneven road surfaces.

 - Driving with tire chains and the compact spare tire

Do not fit tire chains to the compact spare tire.

Tire chains may damage the vehicle body and adversely affect driving performance.

 - When replacing the tires

• When removing or fitting the wheels, tires or the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter, contact your Toyota dealer as the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may be damaged if not handled correctly.

• Replace the grommets for the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters as well.

 - To avoid damage to the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters

When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact your Toyota dealer or other qualified service shop as soon as possible. Make sure to replace the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter when replacing the tire
