Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire In freezing temperatures, turn the engine on and leave it running while the flat tire is being serviced. Prolonged exposure to the cold may cause the vehicle's battery to weaken. Under cold conditions, safely start the vehicle's engine and keep the engine running at idle when operating the air pump. AIR PUMP SWITCH OFF ON 11. Inflate the tire to 33 psi (230 kPa), then turn the air pump switch OFF for an accurate pressure reading. If the pressure fails to reach 33 psi (230 kPa) within 15 minutes, do not continue, and have the vehicle towed. In Canada or the continental U.S.A. simply call 1800-465-PLUS (7587) for Honda Plus Roadside Assistance. 12. Turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position. 13. Remove the sealant bottle hose from the tire valve, then reinstall the tire valve cap. Running the engine with the vehicle in an enclosed or even partly enclosed area can cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon monoxide. Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can cause unconsciousness and even death. Only run the engine to power the air pump with the vehicle outdoors. 10. Turn the air pump on to inflate the tire. Do not run the air pump for more than 15 minutes or it may overheat. The air pressure gauge will show about 40 to 60 psi (275 to 415 kPa) for the first few minutes while the sealant is pumped into the tire, and then the pressure will go down to about 10 to 20 psi (70 to 140 kPa). 294
