Honda CR-V: If a Tire Goes Flat / How to Set Up the Jack
WARNING
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack,
seriously injuring anyone underneath.

exactly and never get under the vehicle
when it is supported only by the jack.
Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the
vehicle.

not support the weight (“load”) or their shape may
not match.

the jack safely:

- Use only where the ground is firm and level.
- Use only at the jacking points.

- Do not put anything on top of or underneath the
jack.
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and
can seriously injure the occupants.

driving.
- Place the jack under the jacking point
closest to the tire to be changed.
- Turn the end bracket clockwise (as shown
in image) until the top of the jack contacts
