Maintenance and care
 When removing the wheel ornament (vehicles with steel wheels and
emergency tire puncture repair kit)
 When replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure warning system)
The wheels of your vehicle are equipped with tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters (except for spare tire [include compact spare tire]) that allow
the tire pressure warning system to provide advance warning in the event of a
loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters must be installed. (P. 348)
Remove the wheel ornament using the
wheel cap clip.
WARNING
 When replacing wheels
 Do not use wheels that are a different size from those recommended in the
Owner’s Manual, as this may result in a loss of handling control.
 Never use an inner tube in a leaking wheel which is designed for a tube-
less tire. Doing so may result in an accident, causing death or serious
injury.
 When installing the wheel nuts
 Be sure to install the wheel nuts with the
tapered ends facing inward. Installing
the nuts with the tapered ends facing
outward can cause the wheel to break
and eventually cause the wheel to come
off while driving, which could lead to an
accident resulting in death or serious
injury.
