Toyota Yaris: Flat Tire / Locking Lug Nuts (if equipped)

If your Toyota is equipped with the optional antitheft wheel lug nuts, a special key must be used to unlock the locking lug nut for each wheel. The key is stored in the glove compartment, center console storage, storage box, or trunk. Register the key and lug nuts with the lock manufacturer by filling out the registration card and mailing it in using the accompanying envelope. If the key is lost, consult your Toyota dealer or use the lock manufacturer’s order form to order a new key. Antitheft wheel lug nuts cannot be installed on a steel wheel spare tire. When installing a temporary spare tire, use one of the original lug nuts in place of the locking lug nut. The original lug nuts are stored inside your Toyota.
