Honda CR-V: If a Tire Goes Flat / Replacing the Flat Tire
Do not over tighten the wheel nuts by applying extra
torque using your foot or a pipe.
- Remove the wheel nuts and flat tire.
- Wipe the mounting surfaces of the wheel
with a clean cloth.
- Mount the compact spare tire.
- Screw the wheel nuts until they touch the
lips around the mounting holes, then stop
rotating.
- 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.
Wheel nut torque:
80 lbf∙ft (108 N∙m, 11 kgf∙m)
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...
WARNING
Loose items can fly around the interior in a
crash and can seriously injure the
occupants.
Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely
before driving...
Other information:
Instead of directly measuring the pressure in each tire, the TPMS on this
vehicle
monitors and compares the rolling radius and rotational characteristics of each
wheel and tire while you are driving to determine if one or more tires are
significantly under-inflated...
Opening the Hood
Park the vehicle on a level surface, and set
the parking brake.
Pull the hood release handle under the
lower left corner of the dashboard.
The hood will pop up slightly.
Push the hood latch lever (located under
the front edge of the hood to the center) to
the side and raise the hood...
