Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h)
under any circumstances.

Applying oil to any component of
the air pump is not necessary.

The surface of the air pump will
become hot during use. Do not
touch the air pump while in use.

Continuous operation for more
than 15 minutes could damage the
air pump. Let it cool down before
using it again.

Follow these precautions:

Store the folding spare tire in the
front compartment with the
outside surface of the wheel
contacting the bracket of the
spare tire well. Securely tighten
the wing bolt.

The air pump that comes with your
NSX is designed specifically to
inflate the folding spare tire.

Your car comes with a folding spare
tire. Use this spare tire as a tempo-
rary replacement only. Get your
regular tire replaced and put back on
your car as soon as you can.

Inflate or deflate the spare tire
only when it is on the car. Inflating
it on the ground may trap stones
or other foreign matter between
the tire and the wheel rim.

Follow these precautions whenever
you are using the folding spare tire:

Connect the air pump only to a
12 V car battery. Connecting it to
any other power source could
damage the air pump.
