Changing A Flat Tire - Honda 2009 CR-V Owner's Manual

If you have a flat tire while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Drive slowly along the shoulder until
you get to an exit or an area to stop
that is far away from the traffic lanes.
The vehicle can easily roll off
the jack, seriously injuring
anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for
changing a tire 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 Park. Apply the
parking brake.
If you are towing a trailer, unhitch
the trailer.

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

3. Open the tailgate. Raise the cargo
area floor lid by lifting up with the
strap, and remove it from cargo
area by disengaging the tabs.
When you store the flat tire in the
spare tire well, do not reinstall the
cargo area floor lid forcibly. This
will damage the tabs on the lid.
4. Take the tool kit out of the spare
tire.
