Changing A Flat Tire - Honda 2003 Insight Owner's Manual

If you have a flat tire while driving,
stop in a safe place to change it.
Stopping in traffic or on the shoulder
of a busy road is dangerous. Drive
slowly along the shoulder until you
get to an exit or an area to stop that
is far away from the traffic lanes.
The car can easily roll off the
jack, seriously injuring anyone
underneath.
Follow the directions for
changing a tire exactly, and
never get under the car when it
is supported only by the jack.
1. Park the car on firm, level and
non-slippery ground away from
traffic. Put the transmission in
Reverse (5-speed manual) or Park
(CVT). Apply the parking brake.
2. Turn on the hazard warning lights
and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0). Have your passenger
get out of the car while you
change the tire.
3. Open the hatch. Raise the cargo
area floor by lifting up on the back
edge.
