Introduction

 

Main Menu

Introduction

Welcome to the off-road world! Your new sport-utility

vehicle is your passport to adventure. It can take you

far from ordinary sights to places you can't reach with

a passenger car.

But it's a whole new world when you leave the

pavement. Off-road driving requires different skills

and different ways of looking at things. So please read

this booklet. It supplements your Owner's Manual

with important facts, precautions, and tips that can

make your off-road travels safer and more enjoyable.

This booklet is a brief introduction to driving

off-pavement, intended mainly for those who expect

to drive off-road occasionally. If you plan on driving

in competitions or taking on challenging terrain, ask

your authorized Honda dealer about driving clubs and

other sources of information in your area.

Please consider this booklet a permanent part of the

vehicle and pass it along to the new owner if you sell

the vehicle.

Get to Know Your Vehicle

Because every vehicle operates a

little differently, be sure to read

your owner's manual and get

acquainted with your vehicle

before you drive off-road.

If you have 4-wheel drive, you can

use it for better traction and greater

mobility off-road, but remember to

switch back to 2-wheel drive before

you return to pavement.

Whether you have 2-wheel or

4-wheel drive, you need to know

that your vehicle has higher ground

clearance than passenger cars

designed for use only on pavement.

Higher ground clearance has many

advantages off-road. It allows you

to travel over bumps, obstacles and

rough terrain and helps protect

undercarriage components. Since

you sit higher off the ground, you

have a better view of the

surroundings.

These advantages come at some

cost. Because your vehicle is

taller and rides higher off the

ground, it has a higher center of

gravity than conventional cars.

This means your vehicle can more

easily tip or roll over if you make

abrupt turns or drive on sloped

terrain.

Utility vehicles have a

significantly higher rollover rate

than other types of vehicles. To

avoid loss of control or rollover,

be sure to follow all

recommendations and precautions

in this booklet.
