If you replace the tire with a specified regular tire, the warning message on the multi-information display and the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator will go off after a few miles (kilometers).
Storing the Flat Tire
WARNING
Loose items can fly around the interior in a crash and can seriously injure the occupants. Store the wheel, jack, and tools securely before driving.
TPMS and the Spare Tire The system cannot monitor the pressure of the spare tire. Manually check the spare tire pressure to be sure that it is correct.
Use TPMS specific wheels. Each is equipped with a tire pressure sensor mounted inside the tire behind the valve stem.

and stop the engine once the high temperature indicator goes off.
If the cooling fan is not operating, immediately stop the engine.
Reserve Tank
2.
Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the cooling system components for leaks.
If the coolant level in the reserve tank is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the reserve tank, check that the radiator is cool. Cover the radiator cap with a heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the filler neck, and put the cap back on.
How to Handle Overheating
WARNING
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
If the coolant is leaking, contact a dealer for repairs.
Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only. Have a dealer flush the system with proper antifreeze as soon as possible.

If the Brake System Indicator Comes On
If the EPS Indicator Comes On
If the Brake System Indicator Comes On
U.S.
Canada
■ Reasons for the Indicator to Come On • •
The brake fluid is low. There is a malfunction in the brake system.
What to Do When the Indicator Comes On While Driving
■ Press the brake pedal lightly to check pedal pressure. • •
If normal, check the brake fluid level the next time you stop. If abnormal, take immediate action. If necessary, downshift the transmission to slow the vehicle using engine braking.
If the EPS Indicator Comes On
■ Reasons for the Indicator to Come On • •
Comes on when there is a problem with EPS. If you depress the accelerator pedal repeatedly to increase the engine speed while the engine is idling, the indicator comes on, and sometimes the steering wheel becomes harder to operate. What to Do When the Indicator Comes On Stop the vehicle in a safe place and restart the engine.
■ •
If the indicator comes on and stays on, immediately have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
If the Brake System Indicator Comes On Have your vehicle repaired immediately. It is dangerous to drive with low brake fluid. If there is no resistance from the brake pedal, stop immediately in a safe place. If necessary downshift the gears.
If the brake system indicator and ABS indicator come on simultaneously, the brake distribution system is not working. This can result in vehicle instability under sudden braking. Have your vehicle inspected by a dealer immediately.
If the EPS Indicator Comes On NOTICE If the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or at an extremely low speed, or you hold the steering wheel on the full left or right position for a while, the system heats up. The system goes into a protective mode, and limits its performance. The steering wheel becomes harder and harder to operate. Once the system cools down, EPS is restored. Repeated operation under these conditions can eventually result in a damage to the system.

2011 CR-ZReporting Safety Defects (U.S. Vehicles)
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.safercar.gov.

2011 CR-ZEmissions Testing
Testing of Readiness Codes Your vehicle uses “readiness codes,” as part of it’s onboard self diagnostic system. Some States refer to these codes during testing to see if your vehicle’s emissions components are working properly. The codes may not be read if you go through the testing just after the battery has gone dead or been disconnected.
To check if they are set, turn the ignition switch to ON II , without starting the engine. The malfunction indicator lamp will come on for several seconds. If it then goes off, the readiness codes are set. If it blinks five times, the readiness codes are not set.
If you are required to have your vehicle tested before the readiness codes are ready, prepare the vehicle for retesting by doing the following:

Fill the gas tank to approximately 3/4 full. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 6 hours or more. Make sure the ambient temperature is between 40 °F and 95 °F (4 °C and 35 °C). Start the engine without touching the accelerator pedal, and let it idle for 20 seconds. Keep the vehicle in Increase the engine speed to 2,000 rpm, and hold it there for about 3 minutes. Let the engine idle with your foot off the accelerator for 20 seconds.
P (automatic transmission) or N (manual transmission).

Testing of Readiness Codes The readiness codes are erased when the 12 volt battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
If a testing facility determines that the readiness codes are not set, you may be requested to return at a later date to complete the test.
If the testing facility determines the readiness codes are still not set, see a dealer.

Select a nearby, lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in D (automatic) or 5 (manual). Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.) If you cannot do this for a continuous 90 seconds because of traffic conditions, drive for at least 30 seconds, then repeat it two more times (for a total of 90 seconds). Drive in city/suburban traffic for at least 10 minutes. When traffic conditions allow, let the vehicle coast for several seconds without using the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal. Park the vehicle and leave the engine off for 30 minutes.
