Toyota Yaris: Spare Tire and Tool Storage / Spare Tire
Your Toyota has a temporary spare tire. The temporary spare tire is
lighter and smaller than a conventional tire, and is designed only for
emergency use and should be used only for VERY short periods.
Temporary spare tires should NEVER be used for long drives or
extended periods.
To remove the spare tire
- Lift the trunk/luggage compartment mat.
- Turn the spare tire hold-down
bolt counterclockwise.
To secure the spare tire
Store the spare tire in the reverse order of removal. After storing, verify
that the spare tire is stored securely.
WARNING
Do not install the temporary spare tire on the front wheels (driving
wheels)
Driving with the temporary spare tire on one of the front driving
wheels
is dangerous. Handling will be affected. You could lose control of the
vehicle, especially on ice or snow bound roads, and have an accident.
Move a regular tire to the front wheel and install the temporary spare tire
to the rear.
NOTICE
- When using the temporary spare tire, driving stability may
decrease
compared to when using only the conventional tire. Drive carefully.
- To avoid damage to the temporary spare tire or to the vehicle,
observe
the following precautions:
- Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
- Avoid driving over obstacles. Also, do not drive through an
automatic car wash. This tire’s diameter is smaller than a conventional
tire, so the ground clearance is reduced.
- Do not use a tire chain on this tire because it will not fit
properly.
- Do not use your temporary spare tire on any other vehicle, it
has
been designed only for your Toyota.
- Use only one temporary spare tire on your vehicle at the same
time.
