Flat Tire - Honda 2001 Passport Owner's Manual

Main Menu Off-Road
Get a tow from another vehicle
by using a towing rope, strap or
chain. To be successful , the
pulling vehicle will need
adequate power and traction.
Be sure the rope, strap or chain
is attached to the frames (not
bumpers) of both vehicles, and
keep people away in case the
connecting device breaks.
Off-Road Driving Information
Use a winch. If you have a
winch, you might be able to
attach it to another vehicle or a
sturdy, fixed object (such as a
tree). Or another vehicle with a
winch may be able to attach it
to your vehicle and pull you
out.
Get experienced help. This is
often the best solution,
especiall y if you have dug in
deep, are stuck in mud or on
sloped terrain.
Grounded on a Bump or Log
You have fewer options if you
bottom out (or high-center) on a
bump, log, or other raised
obstacle. You can try getting a
tow (forward or backward) from
another vehicle, use a winch (see
above for additional tips), or get
experienced help.

Flat Tire

Change a flat tire only if the
vehicle is on firm, level ground
that can safely support the jack. If
this is not the case, your options
are: drive slowly and carefully
until you reach firm, level ground;
get a tow from another vehicle (as
described above); or send for
experienced help.
