Preparing for a Drive
A safe and enjoyable drive begins with good planning and
preparation. Always drive with at least one other person in case you
have trouble, and let someone know where you’re going and when
you expect to return.
Before driving in an unfamiliar area, find out in advance if you need
special permits, get maps so you can study the terrain, and talk to
other drivers who know the area. The Forest Service and the Bureau
of Land Management (USA only), the Ministry of Natural Resources
(Canada only), driver’s clubs, and off-road magazines are good
sources of information.
Along with your Honda SXS and personal safety gear, you should
take along some tools and supplies in case you have a problem. For
some of the difficulties you might encounter, see Taking Care of the
Unexpected, which begins on page 213.
We recommend that you always take water, food, a first aid kit, and
your owner’s manual. Other items you should consider taking along
include:
• a tool kit
• tire repair supplies and tools
• wire, duct tape, and rope
• extra gasoline and a fire extinguisher
