Changing a Flat Tyre

On vehicles with spare tyre
If you have a flat tyre while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Drive slowly along the shoulder until
you get to an exit or an area that is
far away from the traffic lanes.
Use the jack that came with your
vehicle. If you try to raise another
vehicle with this jack or use another
jack to raise your vehicle, the vehicle
or jack can be damaged.
On vehicles with Honda TRK
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 441
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 vehicle on firm, level, and
non-slippery ground. Put the
transmission in reverse. Apply the
parking brake.
If you are towing a trailer, unhitch
the trailer.
