When you notice you have a puncture, do not continue driving your Toyota, as this can rapidly damage both the tyre and wheel. Stop your car safely on a firm, level surface, away from traffic if possible. If needed, set up a warning triangle and turn on the hazard lights.
Apply the parking brake and put the vehicle in park or first gear so the car doesn’t accidentally move. Switch off the ignition and ensure that all passengers safely exit the vehicle.
You will find the spare wheel and replacement tools in the trunk. The tools include a jack for raising the vehicle, and a wrench to take off the nuts that attach the wheel to the car.
If the wheel has a hubcap, use the tool provided to remove it. Before jacking up the vehicle, use the wrench to loosen the nuts one-half to one turn. These should be quite tight. If you don’t have the strength to loosen them by hand, try using your foot.
Next you need to jack up the car. Search the underside of the vehicle to find the jacking point closest to the wheel you want to replace. If you can’t find it, check the owner’s manual.
Never put any object or any part of your body under the vehicle when using the jack.
Once the jack is in place, jack up the vehicle until the flat tyre easily clears the road. You can then remove all the wheel nuts and the flat tyre. Do not touch the disc wheels or the area around the brakes, as they can be extremely hot.
Lift the spare wheel onto the hub and make sure the holes are lined up. Then replace the wheel nuts, tightening them until they are firm.
Lower the jack until the spare wheel touches the ground. Then, using the wrench, tighten the wheel nuts firmly in sequence.
Once this is done, lower the car completely. Remove the jack and put it and the tools in their proper place.
Put the flat tyre somewhere handy so you can have it fixed and replaced by a Toyota repairer. If you cannot do this soon, check the wheel nuts after a couple of hundred kilometres of driving to make sure they are still tight.
Remember not to exceed 80 kilometres per hour when driving with a compact spare wheel.
At the Toyota authorised repairer you will receive expert assistance and the best possible care for your Toyota - ensuring that your driving experience remains safe and pleasurable.

you don't want to tighten the nuts in sequence. It must be opposites, think of writing a star. That way the wheel is more likely to be balanced.

[@catdaddy5192]

It really does not matter if you are going to replace it soon.

[@desmondmiles5042]

@@catdaddy5192 lol the issue is the tire can fall off when the vehicle is operating at high speed thus causing a collision. I work in the auto industry. It's about safety.

[@ralphtom3431]

Right.i.tighten my drum.heads the same way

[@rusticagenerica]

@@catdaddy5192Do you think into consideration the fact many people who watch this video also watch it just to know how to change their tires in normal non accidental cases? What would it cost the guy who made the video to give a good advice on the way? Why do you come & make comments like this?

[@AnitaBekka]

Damn God sent!!!!!i was stranded mid high way and you saved me!!! Thanks

[@superkirk04]

Hahaha..same here.. XD

[@brandongrind964]

Me rn :(

[@EXCELSIOR_INC]

Spare tire goes on back, you need to do a double change if you get a front flat Wheels nuts ae supposed to be tighten in a star pattern The simple reason behind the star pattern of torqueing your lug nuts is to reduce wheel flexing and shifting. You see when you tighten a single nut, it keeps getting tighter and tighter till the point the wheel mounting face (what you're tightening against) gets stuck to the hub.

[@rusticagenerica]

Super interesting ! :) Didn't know about the back tires thing.

[@deadstar962]

Tonight I got a flat. I’ve never changed a tire before. It was cold and dark. I was high and panicking and pulled over and went to KZbin. I also called my friend on FaceTime with my AirPods in. So the entire time I’m panicking and telling my friend about the situation. while looking for a solution. didn’t pay attention to the video at all. I couldn’t really hear the KZbin videos audio because the FaceTime audio was louder than the KZbin videos audio. So I stayed on the FaceTime call, watched some of the video , then began. I was using my hand to loosen the lug nuts instead of my foot. I also was jacking up the car wrong so it look me way longer. I was also trying to Loosen the lug nuts with the car slightly jacked up 😬 I couldn’t get the lug nuts off so I gave up and drove 2 miles home once I got there my tire was busted up. Moral of the story : don’t do drugs

[@chrissybee2339]

I learned so much from this comment

[@SteelmanArgument]

Drugs are bad, mmmkay

[@sergiolares4285]

Remember, lift with your legs and not your back

[@ershadchisti333]

First time I changed tyre...very helpful this Video...thank you

[@JAQ274]

Toyota did not inform me that Jack needs to buy.So amazing.

[@nonnalovepriceless]

Thankyou I needed this

[@arinoba492]

Looked this up in a dire situation. Thanks

[@hjunnaid]

Wow i have learnt how to change the tyre

[@howardmanley3388]

I just call AAA and let them do all the work ...✅

[@ussling]

The few times I have had a flat tire, I have plugged the hole myself and went happily down the road.

[@johnmidwest5650]

How'd your refill the tyre with air?

[@ussling]

@@johnmidwest5650 I carry an air compressor and a tire plug kit in the trunk of my car in case of roadside emergency.

[@guest2007]

1:58 the jack has been removed 2:06 the jack returned to underneath the car, magically

[@Bluesky-bx2ig]

Good eye 👁

[@Batman-nz2ue]

Because he wants to check the nut tightness again after a couple of kilometres of driving as suggested by the video narrator.

[@wallywah222]

This is gonna sound so random but, I had gotten a flat, pulled in to a horrible neighborhood and pulled up this video to change my tire. All of a sudden 5 cop cars show up and a big drug bust happens right in front of me. I have it all on video.

[@ANother_THOUGHT]

I gotta see

[@silla-je9od]

Good thing you weren't shit accidentally.

[@chandrashekarnagaraja4513]

but why did you replace with a bicycle wheel?

[@frankelgueta1350]

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@techgadgets3714]

That spare wheel is a joke.

[@frankelgueta1350]

Hahaha! 😄😄

[@burningkarma]

Those donut tires are the shits....So useless.

[@ManojKumar-hz1vx]

Good info

[@SocT15]

Only go 50 mph while driving with spare wheel. People who get a flat on highway: Shit people better be careful

[@XxChuyoxX]

Tighten the nuts in a star pattern. Not how it’s shown.

[@Arun_hog]

Always tighten diagonal nuts

[@fmz-4618]

Chris fix go watch him

[@DavidHalfordsLane]

Correct. This is sensible advice and should have been emphasised in the video.

[@kabirulislam9060]

Thanks

[@ThankuzWorld]

Thank you

[@American_negroid_woman]

What size wrench was used

[@nabil500sel]

صعب جداا لا استطيع . ما هذا يا بشر

[@melaniebrouwers2325]

hello, we are mechanics students from France, we don't agree because, we mustn't go out without the parking breaks on.

[@FaizanKhan-np2zt]

Thanks for this

[@lizguzman913]

can a full size tire and rim fit good in the compartment well? if I choose to buy 1???

[@davidbedwell7647]

liz guzman of course

[@Felipe-lp8tl]

Of course not

[@alansach8437]

If it could they would have provided a full size spare.

[@Noname-iz9uo]

Ok it’s easier than I thought

[@IvanPlayStation4LiFe]

I have 2001 Toyota Corolla and never changed a tire this looks simple to do.

[@johnmidwest5650]

It's easy to do but hard on you physically. Actual old used tires will become increasingly difficult to use

[@abgsai]

Changer tire owner can try 😁

[@bastycasanova4147]

Tech gadget's comment is funny

[@yogirlcheeks7074]

Has anyone ever installed a 24 inch rim themselves that shit mad heavy

[@Arun_hog]

Ya its little heavy but u can lift easily if done in proper way

[@rishuemil9444]

Iam mechanic I wanted job toyota plz helpful

[@rileysmith9843]

What if we don’t have a spare wheel?

[@chancellorpalpatineakathes6130]

Riley Smith then sadly you’ll be out in the desert for a long time

[@Batman-nz2ue]

Note down your car year, make, model, info on tires, or take pics with your phone. Lock your car, go buy another suitable tire and rims or a spare tire set, come back and put it on. Or call a tow truck/mechanic. Or buy a tire plug kit and air pump/air pressure metre pump and watch ChrisFix's How to chnage a tire video.

[@Lucky8s]

Some cars give you a spare wheel. Others give you a fix a flat kit. That's probably what you have and Toyota also has a video explaining how to use it.

[@DoomStarRequiem]

Why does that spare wheel look like it's for a motorcycle

[@genimas5240]

Nobody knows Model of this wheels please 😭

[@RCPtheGreat]

Unsafe spare tire

[@ciprianion4142]

Ok..so the flat tyre can be fixed just by a Toyota repairer.

[@MaddieMeyer3]
