Your Pilot has been designed
primarily f or use on pavement. But
its higher ground clearance and f our-
wheel drive VTM-4 system allow you
to occasionally travel on unpaved
roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites,
and similar locations. It is not
designed f or trailblazing, mountain
climbing, or other challenging of f -
road activities.
If you decide to drive on unpaved
roads, you will f ind that it requires
somewhat dif f erent driving skills.
Your Pilot will also handle somewhat
dif f erently than it does on pavement.
So be sure to read this owner’s
manual, pay special attention to the
precautions and tips in this section,
and get acquainted with your vehicle
before you leave the pavement. General Inf ormation
