Basic Operation & Driving Guidelines
Driving Up a Hill
If you decide that it is safe to drive your Honda MUV up a hill:
• Select an appropriate drive mode for the hill.
• Approach the hill with enough speed to smoothly start up the hill.
• Maintain a steady speed as you climb the hill.
• Reduce speed as you approach the top, and watch for other vehicles
that may be approaching the top from the other side of the hill.
If You Stall Going
Up a Hill
If a hill is steeper than you expected, traction is poor, or you don't
maintain sufficient speed, you may begin to stall. If that happens:
• Stop the vehicle and set the parking brake.
• If you have a passenger, you may want to have them get out and move
away from the vehicle.
• If you are headed straight up the hill, shift into reverse, release the
parking brake, and slowly back straight
down the hill, gently using the
brake pedal to control speed.
Driving Down a Hill
Before driving down a hill, as with driving up a hill, you need to
evaluate whether you can make it safely to the bottom and away from
the slope.
Ask yourself:
• Is the hill too steep to maintain speed and steering control?
• Is the surface too rough or too slippery?
• Can you drive straight down without turning?
• Is
there a safe exit when you reach the bottom of the hill?
