Tire Chains When required, install tire chains on the front wheels of your car. If you are using metal type chains, make sure they are designated SAE Class " S " . You may also use plastic or cable type "chains". Use only the correct size chains recommended for your tire size and make sure they are installed following the chain manufacturer's instructions. Once tire chains are installed, drive at less than 19 mph (30 km/h) on roads covered with snow or ice. To minimize tire and chain wear, avoid driving on cleared roads with chains installed. CAUTION: Improper installation or loose tire chains may damage your car's chassis and fenders. NOTE: Keep the manufacturer's installation instructions in your glove box for future reference. Tire Balancing Unbalanced tires may affect handling and tire wear. A tire should always be rebalanced after it has been dismounted from the wheel. Your original tires were properly balanced before the car left the factory, but may need rebalancing at some time during the life of the tire. Tire balancing for the COMPACT spare is not necessary. CAUTION: Use only genuine Honda aluminum wheel weights if your car is equipped with aluminum wheels. Non genuine Honda wheel weights may corrode and damage the aluminum wheel. Tire Rotation Tires may wear unevenly when used for a long time in the same position on the car. To avoid this, rotate the tires every 7,500 miles (12,000 km). If abnormal or uneven wear develops between rotations, the cause should be found and corrected as soon as possible. The illustration shows how tires can be rotated. THE COMPACT spare tire must not be included in tire rotation. (cont'd)

Tire Chains
When required, install tire chains on the front wheels of your
car. If you are using metal type chains, make sure they are
designated SAE Class " S " . You may also use plastic or cable
type "chains". Use only the correct size chains recommended
for your tire size and make sure they are installed following the
chain manufacturer's instructions.
Once tire chains are installed, drive at less than 19 mph (30
km/h) on roads covered with snow or ice. To minimize tire and
chain wear, avoid driving on cleared roads with chains
installed.
CAUTION: Improper installation or loose tire chains may
damage your car's chassis and fenders.
NOTE: Keep the manufacturer's installation instructions in
your glove box for future reference.
Tire Balancing
Unbalanced tires may affect handling and tire
wear. A tire should always be rebalanced after it has been dis-
mounted from the wheel.
Your original tires were properly balanced before the car left
the factory, but may need rebalancing at some time during the
life of the tire. Tire balancing for the COMPACT spare is not
necessary.
CAUTION: Use only genuine Honda aluminum wheel weights
if your car is equipped with aluminum wheels. Non genuine
Honda wheel weights may corrode and damage the aluminum
wheel.
Tire Rotation
Tires may wear unevenly when used for a long time in the
same position on the car. To avoid this, rotate the tires every
7,500 miles (12,000 km). If abnormal or uneven wear
develops between rotations, the cause should be found and
corrected as soon as possible. The illustration shows how tires
can be rotated. THE COMPACT spare tire must not be included
in tire rotation.
