Basic Operation & Driving Guidelines
Off-road Driving Considerations
Your Honda MUV was designed and intended primarily for off-road
use, it can also be driven on pavement. Be aware, however, that while
Honda MUV's controls are similar to those in cars, driving on paved
surfaces will feel different.
Vehicle Design
The Honda MUV handles somewhat differently from on-highway
vehicles due in part to features that allow it to perform its role as an
off-highway utility ve
hicle. For example, Honda MUV has a higher
center of gravity than cars designed for use only on pavement. It is also
equipped with large low-pressure tires that allow good traction in sand,
loose dirt, wet grass and other low-traction surfaces.
These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller
and rides higher off the ground, it can more easily tip or roll over if you
make abrupt t
urns or drive on sloped terrain.
Off-highway Environments
Driving on private property, or in approved off-highway areas, means
you leave a generally predictable and orderly world behind. You won't
find lane markers or traffic signals, and no one will be there to warn
you of trouble ahead. It's up to you to assess situations and drive
within limits. The terrain has limits (it may be too steep or bumpy,
for
example). The vehicle has limits (e.g., traction, stability, and power).
And you may be limited by lack of experience.
