Please use the wheels made specifically for

this car. Using non-specific wheels may cause problems with the running and braking
systems. When replacing wheels, be sure to consult with a Honda Clio dealer. Do
not step on the wrench or use a pipe to tighten it more than necessary. Too much torque
can be applied. Wheel balance may be lost
due to puncture repair, tire wear, rim deformation, etc. If you feel any abnormalities such
as vibrations in the vehicle body, have it inspected at a Honda Clio shop. For your safety,
change tires on hard, flat ground, paying close attention to other traffic. Use stop signs
and emergency flashing lights as necessary. Always use tires of the specified size and
of the same type. Using tires other than the specified size or tires of a different type will
compromise safety. Adjust the air pressure of the temporary
spare tire when you use it. If you have no choice but to run unadjusted,
please slow down.

water for at least 5 minutes, and if swallowed, immediately drink plenty of drinking water. After first aid, seek medical attention.
Do not use when battery fluid is low. Doing so may accelerate the deterioration of the inside of the
battery. Securely fix the booster cable clip so that it will not come off due to vibration such as
when the engine is started. Also, be careful not to let the booster cable get caught in the cooling fan or belt. Please use a vehicle
equipped with a 12V battery as a rescue vehicle. If you remove the battery cable for battery replacement, etc., the frequency set in
the radio will be deleted. Also, after installing the battery, the driver's seat power
window will not be able to operate automatically. In that case, restore the auto operation function.
