Changing a Flat Tyre

On cars with spare tyre
If you have a flat tyre while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder
of a busy road is dangerous. Drive
slowly along the shoulder until you
get to an exit or an area to stop that
is far away from the traffic lanes.
Use the jack that came with your car.
If you try to raise another car with
this jack or use another jack to raise
your car, the car or jack can be
damaged.
On cars with Honda IMS
Your vehicle is equipped with the
tyre sealant kit instead of the spare
tyre. This kit is available for easy
repair of a flat tyre (see page 453
446
Taking Care of the Unexpected
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for
changing a tyre exactly, and
never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by
the jack.

1. Park the car on firm, level and
non-slippery ground away from

the trailer.
2. Turn on the hazard warning lights,
and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0). Have all the
passengers get out of the car while
you change the tyre.
