Changing A Flat Tire - Honda Civic Si 2005 Owner's Manual

If you have a flat tire while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.

you get to an exit or an area to stop
that is far away from the traffic lanes.
Use the jack that came with your
vehicle. If you try to raise another
vehicle with this jack or use another
jack to raise your vehicle, the vehicle or
jack can be damaged.
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

jack.

non-slippery ground. Put the
transmission in Reverse. Apply the
parking brake.

and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0). Have all the
