Driving Guidelines
Driving with Cargo
The added weight of carrying cargo will affect how your vehicle
accelerates, brakes, and handles.
Please follow these guidelines whenever you carry cargo:
• Do not exceed the cargo limit (page 78).
• When driving with heavy cargo, shift the shift select lever into
low-range (L) position.
• Keep speed low, particularly when driving on hills.
• Allow extra distance to accelerate, turn and slow or stop.
Making Turns
The basic turning technique for Honda SXS is to drive at low speed
and gradually adjust the amount of steering to suit the surface. Do
not make sudden sharp turns, either off-road or on pavement.
If your vehicle ever skids sideways during a turn, steer in the direction
of the skid. Also, avoid hard braking or accelerating until you have
regained directional control.
Braking
The best off-road braking technique is to gently push down on the
brake pedal, then increase pressure as more braking is needed. Light
braking may be all you need on soft surfaces, such as sand or loose
dirt. Avoid hard braking on any surface.
Your Honda SXS is equipped with an EBD. For more information
about EBD, see page 68.
