DRIVINGDRIVING
In addition:
• During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acc\
eleration or
full throttle operation so as not to damage the engine or powertrain.
• Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km). You should also follow this 
when the brake pads are replaced.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling, and 
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously 
hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories
and modifications.
WARNING
Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle\
’s handling,
stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe. 
The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg). See the Tire and Loading 
Information label on the driver’s doorjamb.
This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the
steps for determining the correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo 
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2. Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be 
riding in your vehicle.
3. Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg 
or XXX lbs.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage 
load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and 
there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of 
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) 
= 650 lbs.)
5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on 
the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and 
luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
6. If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be 
transferred to your vehicle. Consult the owner’s Manual on the owner
Information CD or at owners.honda.com (U.S.) or myhonda.ca (Canada)
to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load 
capacity of your vehicle.
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, 
cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight 
Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label 
on the driver’s doorjamb.

DRIVINGDRIVING
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory, and does not need to be 
adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the trunk or tow a trailer,
have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technician.
Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a 
crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
WARNING
Load limits exampleExample 1
Max load
850 lbs
(385 kg) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs (68 kg x 2 = 136 kg )Cargo
weight
550 lbs
(249 kg)
Example 2
Max load
850 lbs
(385 kg ) Passenger weight
150 lbs x 5 = 750 lbs (68 kg x 5 = 340 kg )Cargo
weight
100 lbs
(45 kg )Towing a Trailer
Your vehicle can tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use  the proper 
equipment, and follow the towing guidelines. Check the load limits before driving 
(see page 95).
Total Trailer Weight
Maximum allowable weight of the trailer, cargo, and 
everything in or on it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 
kg). Towing loads in excess of this can seriously
affect vehicle handling and performance and can
damage the engine and drivetrain.
Tongue Load
The weight of the tongue with a fully loaded trailer
on the hitch should be approximately 10% of the 
total trailer weight.
• excessive tongue load reduces front tire traction
and steering control. Too little tongue load can
make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway.
• To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 
60% of the load toward the front of the trailer and 
40% toward the rear. Readjust the load as needed.
Pre-tow Checklist
When preparing to tow, and before driving away, ensure the following:
• The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooling 
system are in good operating condition.
• Avoid towing a trailer during your vehicle’s first 600 miles (1,000 km).
• The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition.
• All weights and loads are within limits. Never exceed the gross weight r\
atings.
• Check if all loads are within limits at a public scale. If a public scale is not 
available, add the estimated weight of your cargo load to the weight of your 
trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) and the tongue load.
• The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
• All items in or on the trailer are properly secured and cannot shift whi\
le you drive.
exceeding any load limit or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer c\
an
cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive.
