Changing a flat tire – HONDA 2002 Insight - Owner's Manual User Manual
Page 218
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.
Remove the storage box from the
cargo area well.
Take the tool kit from the spare
tire well. Remove the jack (in the
jack cover) from the inside of the
spare tire.
Unscrew the wing bolt and take
the spare tire out of its well.
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.
Open the hatch. Raise the cargo
area floor by lifting up on the back
edge.
Turn on the hazard warning lights
and turn the ignition switch to
LOCK (0). Have all the
passengers get out of the car while
you change the tire.

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.
