Acura 2009 Accord Sedan - Manual (Page 589)

Take the tool case out of the spare
tire.
Unscrew the wing bolt and take
the spare tire out of its well.
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. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and
non-slippery ground. Put the
transmission in Park. Apply the
parking brake.
Turn on the hazard warning lights,
and turn the ignition switch to the
LOCK (0) position. Have all
passengers get out of the vehicle
while you change the tire.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. VEHICLE OFF (LOCK)
Mode is the equivalent of LOCK (0).
See page
for ignition switch and
power mode comparison.
Open the trunk. Raise the trunk
floor by lifting up on the back edge.
