If a Tire Goes Flat

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 with a compact

spare tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or

replaced.

1Changing a Flat Tire

Follow these compact spare precautions:

Periodically check the tire pressure of the compact

spare. It should be set to the specified pressure.

Specified Pressure: 60 psi (420 kPa, 4.2 kgf/cm²)

1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface, and apply the parking

brake.

2. Put the transmission into (P.

When driving with the compact spare tire, keep the

vehicle speed under 50 mph (80 km/h). Replace with

a full-size tire as soon as possible.

3. Turn on the hazard warning lights and set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.

The compact spare tire and wheel in your vehicle are

specifically for this model. Do not use them with

another vehicle. Do not use another type of compact

spare tire or wheel with your vehicle.

Do not mount tire chains on a compact spare tire.

If a chain-mounted front tire goes flat, remove one of

the full-size rear tires and replace it with the compact

spare tire. Remove the flat front tire and replace it

with the full-size tire that was removed from the rear.

Mount the tire chains on the front tire.

NOTICE

Do not use the jack if it doesn’t work properly.

Call your dealer or a professional towing service.

Do not mount the compact spare on the front.

If either front tire goes flat, remove the rear tire on

the same side, and mount the compact spare on the

rear and the rear tire on the front.

1How to Set Up the Jack

How to Set Up the Jack

■

1. Place the jack under the jacking point

closest to the tire to be changed.

3

WARNING

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.

Jacking Points

Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the

vehicle.

2. Turn the end bracket clockwise (as shown

in the image) until the top of the jack

contacts the jacking point.

u Make sure that the jacking point tab is

resting in the jack notch.

Use the jack provided in your vehicle.

Other jacks may not support the weight (“load”) or

may not fit the jacking point.

The following instructions must be followed to use

the jack safely:

• 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.

Do not over tighten the wheel nuts by applying extra

torque using your foot or a pipe.

1. Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.

2. Wipe the mounting surfaces of the wheel

with a clean cloth.

3. Mount the compact spare tire.

4. Screw the wheel nuts until they touch the

lips around the mounting holes, then stop

rotating.

5. 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.

1. Touch the center of the ENGINE START/

STOP button with the H logo on the keyless

remote while the ENGINE START/STOP

button is flashing. The buttons on the

keyless remote should be facing you.

u The ENGINE START/STOP button

flashes for about 30 seconds.

2. Depress the brake pedal and press the

uuEngine Does Not StartuEmergency Engine Stop

Emergency Engine Stop

1Emergency Engine Stop

The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to stop the engine due to an

emergency situation even while driving. If you must stop the engine, do either of the

following operations:

• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.

• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button three times.

Do not press the ENGINE START/STOP button while

driving unless it is absolutely necessary for the engine

to be turned off.

If you press the ENGINE START/STOP button while

driving, the beeper sounds.

The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables

the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will

require significantly more physical effort and time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use

both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a

safe place.

Automatic transmission models

The transmission automatically changes to (P after the vehicle comes to a complete

stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.

Continuously variable transmission models

The power mode is in ACCESSORY when the engine is stopped.

To change the mode to VEHICLE OFF, put the transmission into (P after the vehicle

comes to a complete stop.

Continuously variable transmission models for Canadian models

Then, press the ENGINE START/STOP button twice without depressing the brake

pedal.

■ Reasons for the indicator to come on or blink

A tire pressure is significantly low, or the TPMS has not been calibrated.

If there is a problem with the TPMS, the indicator blinks for about one

minute, and then stays on.

Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause

it to overheat. An overheated tire can fail. Always

inflate your tires to the prescribed level.

If the compact spare tire is installed, the indicator will either come on or

it will first blink for about one minute, then stay on.

■ What to do when the indicator comes on

Drive carefully and avoid abrupt cornering and hard braking.

Stop your vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the

pressure to the specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on

the driver side doorjamb.

u Calibrate the TPMS after the tire pressure is adjusted.

2 TPMS Calibration P. 446

If the compact spare tire causes the indicator to come on, change the

tire to a full-size tire. The indicator goes off after calibrating the TPMS.

■ What to do when the indicator blinks, then remains on

Have the tire inspected by a dealer as soon as possible. If the compact

1Emergency Towing

NOTICE

■ Flatbed equipment

The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.

This is the best way to transport your vehicle.

Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will

cause serious damage. The bumpers are not designed

to support the vehicle’s weight.

Make sure the parking brake is released. If you

cannot release the parking brake, your vehicle must

be transported by the flatbed equipment.

2 Parking Brake P. 508

■ Wheel lift equipment

The tow truck uses two pivoting arms that go under the front tires and lift them off

the ground. The rear tires remain on the ground. This is an acceptable way to

tow your vehicle.

NOTICE

Improper towing such as towing behind a

motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the

transmission.

Never tow your vehicle with just a rope or chain.

It is very dangerous, since ropes or chains may shift

from side to side or break.
