Basic Operation & 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 57 for
loading cargo and page
59 for towing a trailer).
• Keep speed low, particularly when driving on hills.
• Allow extra distance to accelerate and slow or stop.
• Do not drive across a steep slope with a trailer.
Making Turns
The basic turning technique for Honda MUV 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 you
r 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.
