Wheel Replacement
Considerations
Damaged wheels must be
replaced. For example, replace
wheels if they are bent, cracked or
heavily rusted, or if wheel nuts
often become loose. Also replace
wheels that leak air (except some
aluminum wheels that can be
repaired). See your Honda dealer.
Do not use bent wheels that have
been straightened, and do not use
tubes in leaking wheels designed
for tubeless tires. Such wheels
may have structural damage and
could fail without warning.
Maximum loads, maximum
inflation pressures, wheel
identification codes, and wheel
sizes are stamped on each wheel.
Service-tested and approvedwheels are available from your
Honda dealer.
When obtaining wheels for any
reason from any other source, the
replacement wheels should be
equal in load capacity, inflation
pressure capacity, diameter, width,
offset and mounting configuration
to those originally installed on
your vehicle. A wheel of the
wrong size or type may adversely
affect load carrying capacity,
wheel and bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer/odometer
calibration, stopping ability,
headlight aim, bumper height,
vehicle ground clearance, and tire
or tire chain clearance to the body
and chassis. Replacement with
used wheels is not advised: They
may have been subjected to harsh
treatment or very high mileage and
could fail without warning.
Installing wheels and/or tires that
have a higher load carrying limit
than those that originally came on
your vehicle does not increase the
GAWR or GVWR of the vehicle.

systems, such as the
SRS
and
anti-lock brake system.
However, if electronic accessories
are improperly installed, or
exceed your vehicle ’s electrical
system capacity, they can interfere
with the operation of your vehicle,
or even cause the airbags to
deploy.
Before installing any accessory:
• Make sure the accessory does
not obscure any lights, or
interfere with proper vehicle
operation or performance.
• Be sure electronic accessories
do not overload electrical
circuits (see page 240).
•Have the installer contact your
Honda dealer for assistance
before installing any electronic
accessory. If possible, have your dealer
inspect the final installation.
Modifications
Do not remove any original
equipment or modify your vehicle
in any way that would alter its
design or operation. This could
make your vehicle unsafe and
illegal to drive.
For example, do not make any
modifications that would change
the ride height of your vehicle, or
install wheels and tires with a
different overall diameter.
Such modifications can adversely
affect handling, and interfere with
the operation of the vehicle
’s
anti-lock brakes and other
systems.
In addition, any modifications that
decrease ground clearance increase the chance of
undercarriage parts striking a
curb, speed bump, or other raised
object, which could cause your
airbags to deploy.
Do not modify your steering
wheel or any other part of your
Supplemental Restraint System.
Modifications could make the
system ineffective.
Additional Safety Precaution
Do not attach or place objects on
the airbag covers. Any object
attached to, or placed on, the
covers marked “
SRS,” in the
center of the steering wheel and
on top of the dashboard, could
interfere with the proper operation
of the airbags. Or, if the airbags
inflate, the objects could be
propelled inside the vehicle and
hurt someone.

Off-Road Precautions
For your safety and the safety of your passengers, please follow
these precautions:
Don't
Modify Your Vehicle
We urge you not to install aftermarket

"lift kits," oversize
wheels and tires, or alter your
vehicle

in any other way that
would

change the vehicle's
suspension

or ride height. Such
modifications can make handling
difficult and unpredictable, and
they could cause you to lose
control, roll over and be seriously hurt

or killed. Wear Seat Belts
Seat belts are just as important
off-road as on pavement. Seat belts can hold you in position onrough
and bumpy trails and when
driving on hills. If you don't wear
your seat belt, you could bounce
around

and strike the interior of
the

vehicle, or even lose control
and crash. Whenever you drive,
make
sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.
If

children or infants are along for
th

e ride, see that they are properly
secured,

and never let a passenger
ride in the cargo compartment. In a rollover crash, an unbelted
person
is more likely to die than a
person

wearing a seat belt.
Drive

Smart
Off-road surfaces and conditions
can change quickly and
unexpectedly.
It takes time to
learn

how to read the terrain and
develo

p off-road driving skills. So
always use good judgment. Don't drive faster than conditions
warrant,

and if you ever feel
uncomfortable about a given
situation,

don't do it. Off-Road Driving Information
