General Information
Lift and Support Points
NOTE: If you are going to remove heavy components
such as suspension or the fuel tank from the rear of the
vehicle, first support the front of the vehicle with tall
safety stands. When substantial weight is removed
from the rear of the vehicle, the center of gravity can
change, causing the vehicle to tip forward on the lift.

Floor Jack
1. When lifting the front of the vehicle, set the parking
brake. When lifting the rear of the vehicle, put the
shift lever in the P position.
2. Block the wheels that are not being lifted.

Vehicle Lift
1. Position the lift blocks (A) under the vehicles front
support points (B) and rear support points (C).

3. Position the floor jack under the front jacking

bracket (A) or the rear jacking bracket (B). Center
the jacking bracket on the jack lift platform (C), and
jack up the vehicle high enough to fit the safety
stands under it.
A

C
B

2. Raise the lift a few inches, and rock the vehicle

gently to be sure it is firmly supported.
3. Raise the lift to its full height, and inspect the
vehicle support points for solid contact with the lift
blocks.

Safety Stands

4. Position the safety stands under the support points,

and adjust them so the vehicle is level.
5. Lower the vehicle onto the stands.

To support the vehicle on safety stands, use the same

support points (B and C) as for a frame vehicle lift.
Always use safety stands when working on or under
any vehicle that is supported only by a jack.

Towing
If the vehicle needs to be towed, call a professional
towing service. Never tow the vehicle behind another
vehicle with a rope or chain. It is very dangerous.

Rear:

Emergency Towing
There are three popular methods of towing a vehicle.
Flat-bed Equipment The operator loads the vehicle
on the back of a truck. This is the best way of
transporting the vehicle.
C

To accommodate flat-bed equipment, the vehicle is

equipped with front towing hooks (A), front tie down
hook slots (B), rear towing hook (C), and rear tie down
hook slots (D).
The towing hook can be used with a winch to pull the
vehicle onto the truck, and the tie down hook slots can
be used to secure the vehicle to the truck.

General Information
Towing (contd)

Parts Marking

Wheel Lift Equipment The tow truck uses two

pivoting arms that go under the tires (front or rear) and
lifts them off the ground. The other two wheels remain
on the ground. This is an acceptable way of towing the
vehicle.

To deter vehicle theft, certain major components are

marked with the vehicle identification number (VIN).
Original parts have self-adhesive labels. Replacement
body parts have generic self-adhesive labels. These
labels should not be removed. The original engine or
transmission VIN plates are not transferable to the
replacement engine or transmission.

Sling-type Equipment The tow truck uses metal

cables with hooks on the ends. These hooks go around
parts of the frame or suspension, and the cables lift that
end of the vehicle off the ground. The vehicles
suspension and body can be seriously damaged if this
method of towing is attempted.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the parts marking

labels during body repair. Mask the labels before
repairing the part.

If the vehicle cannot be transported by a flat-bed, it

should be towed with the front wheels off the ground. If
the vehicle is damaged, and the vehicle must be towed
with the front wheels on the ground, or if the vehicle is
towed with all four wheels on the ground, do this:

Release the parking brake.

Start the engine.
Shift to the D position, then to the N position.
Turn off the engine.
Leave the ignition switch in the ACCESSORY (I)
position so the steering wheel does not lock.
Make sure all accessories are turned off to minimize
battery current draw.
It is best to tow the vehicle no farther than 50 miles
(80 km), and keep the speed below 35 mph (55 km/h).

Improper towing preparation will damage the

transmission. Follow the above procedure exactly. If
you cannot shift the transmission or start the engine,
the vehicle must be transported on a flat-bed.
Trying to lift or tow the vehicle by the bumpers will
cause serious damage. The bumpers are not
designed to support the vehicles weight.

Service Precautions
IMA System
The Civic Hybrid has an Auto-Stop system that shuts the engine off under certain conditions to improve fuel economy
while the vehicle is at a stop. In Auto-Stop mode, driver input, such as releasing the brake pedal, will cause the engine
to restart.
Before servicing the Civic Hybrid, turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the key so the engine cannot be started.
Before performing any service on the Civic Hybrids IMA system, make sure to turn the battery module switch OFF and
wait 5 minutes before working on the vehicle (see page 12-3).
