Changing a Flat Tire
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then, stop in a safe place. Replace the flat tire wit\
h the compact
spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tir\
e repaired or
replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Apply the par\
king brake,
shift to Park (P), and turn the vehicle off. Turn on the hazard warning lights.
1. Push the rear edge of the handle on the floor lid
and open the lid.
2. Pull and remove the cover. Take the wheel nut
wrench and jack handle bar out of the rear side
compartment.
3. Loosen the strap, then take the jack out.
4. Remove the cover and the rubber plug on the
cargo area lining to access the shaft for the spare
tire hoist.
5. Put the wheel nut wrench with the jack handle bar
on the hoist shaft. Turn the wrench to the left to
lower the spare tire to the ground.

the vehicle body, near the tire that needs to be
replaced.
9. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the
wheel nut wrench.
Bracket
Setting Up the Jack
1. Place the jack under the jacking point closest to
the tire to be changed.
2. Turn the end bracket clockwise (as shown in
the image) until the top of the jack contacts the
jacking point. Make sure that the jacking point
tab is resting in the jack notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar and
the jack handle, until the tire is off the ground.

The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone unde\
rneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.
WARNING
Do not use the jack if it doesn’t work properly. Call your dealer or a professional
towing service.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
•  Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
•  Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the w\
eight
(“load”) or fit the jacking point.
•  Do not use while the engine is running.
•  Use only where the ground is firm and level.
•  Use only at the jacking points.
•  Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
•  Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.
Replacing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.
2. Mount the compact spare tire. Replace the
wheel nuts, and lightly tighten them.
3. Lower the vehicle and remove the jack. Tighten
the wheel nuts in the order indicated in the
image. Go around, tightening the nuts, two to
three times in this order. Do not overtighten the
wheel nuts.
If you drive with the spare tire installed, the
low tire pressure/TPMS indicator appears. The
indicator stays on until a regular tire is installed.
Storing the Flat Tire
1. Remove the center cap and place the flat tire
face up under the hoist.
2. Insert the hoist bracket into the center hole of the
flat tire.
3. Turn the wheel nut wrench with the jack handle
bar clockwise until the flat tire rests against the
underbody of the vehicle and you hear the hoist
click.
4. Securely put the jack and wheel nut wrench back
in the tool case. Store the case in the cargo area.
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously i\
njure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely before driving.

Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the
engine oil life. Use the steering wheel buttons to operate the menu.
1. Use the Info (p/q) buttons to scroll to the Vehicle
Settings menu. Press the RESET button to enter the
menu.
2. Scroll to Maintenance Info, and select it.
3. Press and hold the RESET button to enter the oil life
reset mode.

and the engine oil life returns to 100%.
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results\
in the
system showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to seriou\
s
mechanical problems.
NOTICE
Engine Coolant
Park the vehicle on level ground. Check the reserve tank and the coolant\
level in the
radiator. We recommend Honda 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 specified coolant until it reaches the MAX
mark.
3. Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Adding Coolant
1. Make sure the engine and radiator are cool.
2. Remove the engine compartment cover.
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
filler 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 radiato\
r cap.
WARNING
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expec\
ted, the coolant
mixture should be changed to a higher concentration. Consult a dealer fo\
r details
for more information.
NOTICE
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills
immediately; they can damage components in the engine compartment.
