Tips
You & the Environment
Owning and operating a Honda MUV can be enjoyable, but you must
do your part to protect nature. When you show respect for the land,
wildlife, and other people, you also help preserve off-road driving.
Following are tips on how you can be an environmentally responsible
Honda MUV owner.
• Tread Lightly.
Stay on existing paths and trails, avoid surfaces that
are easily damaged, and drive only in areas approved for off-road
vehicles.
• Keep the Noise Down.
Loud vehicles can be offensive. Drive as
quietly as possible, don't remove your spark arrester, and don't modify
the muffler or any other part of your air intake and exhaust systems.
Such modifications not only increase noise, they also reduce engine
performance and may be illegal.
• Choose Sensible Cleaners.
Use a biodegradable detergent when you
wash your Honda MUV. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the atmosphere's protective
ozone layer. Don't throw cleaning solvents away; see the following
guidelines for proper disposal.
• Recycle Wastes.
It's illegal and thoughtless to put used engine oil
in the trash, down a drain, or on the ground. Used oil, gasoline, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt refuse workers and
contaminate our drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Before
changing your oil, make sure you have the proper containers. Put oil
and other toxic wastes in separate sealed containers and take them to
a recycling center. Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling center in
your area, and to
get instructions on how to dispose of non-recyclable wastes.
