Driving Guidelines
Driving with Cargo or Pulling a Trailer
The added weight of carrying cargo or pulling a trailer will affect
how your vehicle accelerates, brakes, and handles. The added
weight and length of a trailer will affect your directional control.
Please follow these guidelines whenever you carry cargo or pull a
trailer:
• Do not exceed the cargo limit and towing limits (see page 79 for
loading cargo and page 81 for towing a trailer).
• Keep speed low, particularly when driving on hills.
• Allow extra distance to accelerate, turn and slow or stop.
• Do not drive across a steep slope with a trailer.
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 step 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.
