Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
This vehicle is not equipped with a spare tire. If the tire has a large cut or is
otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the vehicle towed. If the tire
only has a small puncture, from a nail for instance, you can use the temporary tire
repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service station for a more permanent
repair.

If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery surface and apply the parking
brake.
2. Put the shift lever in
P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the ignition switch to LOCK
0.
When towing a trailer, unhitch the trailer.

Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
The kit should not be used in the following
situations. Instead, contact a dealer or a roadside
assistant to have the vehicle towed.
The tire sealant has expired.

•More than two tires are punctured.
•The puncture or cut is larger than 3/16 inch (4 mm).
•The tire side wall is damaged or the puncture is
•outside the tire contact area.
When the puncture is: Kit Use
Smaller than 3/16 inch (4 mm) Ye s
Larger than 3/16 inch (4 mm) No
Damage has been caused by driving with the tire

•extremely under inflated.
The tire bead is no longer seated.

•The rim is damaged.
•
Do not remove a nail or screw that punctured the
tire. If you remove it from the tire, you may not be
able to repair the puncture using the kit.

4. Plug in the compressor to the accessory
power socket.
Be careful not to pinch the cord in a door
or window.
5. Start the engine.
Keep the engine running while injecting
sealant and air.

6. Turn the selector switch to SEALANT/AIR .
7. Press the inflator switch to turn on the
compressor.
The compressor starts injecting sealant
and air into the tire.
8. When the sealant injection is complete,
continue to add air.
9. After the air pressure reaches 30 psi (210
kPa), turn off the kit.
To check the pressure, occasionally turn
off the compressor and read the gauge.

WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in
an enclosed or even partly enclosed area
can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon
monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Only run the engine to power the air
compressor with the vehicle outdoors.
NOTICE Do not operate the tire repair kit compressor
for more than 15 minutes. The accessory power
socket and compressor can overheat and become
permanently damaged.
Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher
than actual. After the sealant injection is complete
the pressure will drop and then begin to rise again
as the tire is inflated with air. This is normal. To
accurately measure the air pressure using the gauge,
turn the air compressor off only after the sealant
injection is complete.
If the required air pressure is not reached within
10 minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged
for the kit to provide the necessary seal and your
vehicle will need to be towed.

10. Unplug the power plug from the accessory
power socket.
11. Unscrew the sealant /air hose from the tire
valve stem. Reinstall the valve cap.
12. Press the pressure relief button until the
gauge returns 0 psi (0 kPa).
13. Apply the repair notification label to the
flat surface of the wheel.
The wheel surface must be clean to
ensure the label adheres properly.

Injecting Sealant and Air
See a Honda dealer for a replacement sealant bottle
and proper disposal of an empty bottle.
Distributing the Sealant in the Tire
Stop and recheck the air pressure after every 10
minutes of driving as necessary until you reach the
nearest service station where you are able to have
the tire permanently repaired or replaced.

6. If the air pressure is:
• Less than 19 psi (130 kPa):
Do not add air or continue driving. The leak is too severe. Call for help and
have your vehicle towed.
Emergency Towin g
 P. 442, Owner's Manual
• 30 psi (210 kPa) or more:
Continue driving for another 10 minutes or until you reach the nearest service
station. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

If the air does not go down after the 10 minute drive, you do not need to
check the pressure any more.
• Greater than 19 psi (130 kPa), but less than 30 psi (210 kPa):
Turn the air compressor on to inflate the tire until the tire pressure reaches
30 psi (210 kPa).
Then drive carefully for 10 more minutes or until you reach the nearest service
station. Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).

You should repeat this procedure as long as the air pressure is within this
range.
7. Press the pressure relief button until the gauge returns to 0 psi (0 kPa).
8. Repackage and properly stow the kit.
