CHANGING TIRE CAN BE DANGEROUS IN POOR LIGHT CONDITIONS. WRENCH HANDLE BECAME STUCK IN VEHICLE AND WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT CLIMBING UNDER CAR AND REQUIRED USE OF A FLASHLIGHT. CHANGING A TIRE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS COULD POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND COLULD BE EASILY REMEDIED WITH A SIMPLE CHANGE IN THE WRENCH DESIGN. CURRENT DESIGN ALLOWS THE WRENCH TO BE USED BOTH IN LOWERING THE TIRE AND RAISING THE JACK. TOYOTA COULD PROVIDE TWO ENDS AT A SMALL ADDED COST TO THEM TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.*AK
