Tire Repair Kit*
If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to temporarily repair it.
The puncture must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire sidewall.
Go to a dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.
Before Repairing the Tire
1. Park the vehicle on fi rm, level, non-slippery surface.
2. Change the gear to Park (P), and apply the parking brake.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and turn the vehicle off.
Getting Ready to Repair the Tire
1. Pull the handle on the cargo area fl oor lid and
open the lid.
2. Remove the cargo fl oor box.
3. Remove the kit from the case.
4. Place the kit face up on fl at ground near the
punctured tire and away from traffi c. Do not
place the kit on its side.
5. Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the
tire.
Do not use an unapproved puncture-repairing agent on a fl at tire, as it can damage

Adding Coolant
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
2. Remove the engine compartment cover (see
page 133).
3. Turn the radiator cap counterclockwise and
relieve any pressure in the coolant system. Do
not push the cap down when turning.
4. Push down and turn the radiator cap
counterclockwise to remove it.
5. The coolant level should be up to the base of
the fi ller neck. Add coolant if it is low.
6. Put the radiator cap back on, and tighten it fully.
7. Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it
reaches the MAX mark. Put the cap back on the
reserve tank.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
Pour the fl uid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.

WARNING
Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant level in the
radiator. We recommend Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
Checking the Reserve Tank
1. Check the amount of coolant in the reserve
tank.
2. If the coolant level is below the MIN mark, add
the specifi ed coolant until it reaches the MAX
mark.
3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
If temperatures consistently below -22°F (-30°C) are expected, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer for more
information.

Window Washer Fluid
Add washer fl uid as necessary (see page 133). Pour it carefully, and do not
overfl ow the reservoir.
Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer
reservoir. Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can
damage the windshield washer pump.
For Jump starting, see page 115.
Checking the Battery
The battery condition is monitored by the sensor on the negative terminal. If there
is a problem with the sensor, have your vehicle checked by a dealer. Check the
battery terminals monthly for corrosion.
The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
A spark or fl ame can cause the battery to explode with enough force to kill or
seriously hurt you.
When conducting any battery maintenance, wear protective clothing and a
face shield, or have a skilled technician do it.
WARNING
If the washer fl uid is low,
a message appears on
the multi-information
display.Washer Fluid LowWasher Fluid Low
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wash your hands after handling.
