Changing A Flat Tire - Honda 2004 S2000 Owner's Manual

Main Menu
Table of Contents
If you have a flat tire while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Drive slowly along the shoulder until
you get to an exit or an area that is
far away from the traffic lanes.
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.
The compact spare tire is smaller
than a standard tire, which will affect
the vehicle's handling. Drive
cautiously when this spare is
mounted on your vehicle.
The size difference may also cause
damage to the rear differential, so do
not mount the compact spare on the
rear. If either rear tire goes flat,
remove the front tire on that same
side, mount the compact spare tire
on the front, then mount the front
tire on the rear.
1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and
non-slippery ground. Put the
transmission in Reverse. Apply the
parking brake.
Turn on the hazard warning lights,
2.
and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0). Have your passenger
get out of the vehicle while you
change the tire.
