RIVING
In addition:
•
During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, avoid sudden acc\
eleration or full throttle operation so as to not 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
n Driving Guidelines for Your Utility Vehicle
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other \
types of vehicles. •
To prevent rollovers or loss of control:
•
Take corners at slower speeds than you would with a passenger vehicle.
•
Avoid sharp turns and abrupt maneuvers whenever possible.
•
Do not modify your vehicle in any way that you would raise the center of\
gravity.
•
Do not carry heavy cargo on the roof.
•
Never carry more than 165 lbs (75 kg) of cargo on the roof rack (Hond\
a
accessory).
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement, however, its higher
ground clearance allows you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads. It \
is not
designed for trail-blazing, or other challenging off-road activities.
If you decide to drive on unpaved roads, you will find that it require\
s somewhat
different driving skills and that your vehicle will handle somewhat diff\
erently than it
does on pavement. Pay attention to the precautions and tips in this sect\
ion, and get


acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement.
Improperly operating this vehicle on or off pavement can cause a crash
or rollover in which you and your passengers can be seriously injured or\

killed.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in this owner’s guide.
• Keep your speed low, and don’t drive faster than conditions permit.
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.
n
Maximum Load for Your Vehicle
The maximum load for your vehicle is 1,323 lbs (600 kg).
Label example
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
Never let passengers ride in the pickup bed, in the trunk, or on the bed\

rails. This could vause very serious injuries or death. No one should ri\
de in
any position that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
WARNING
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory and does not ne\
ed to be
adjusted. However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area or tow a
trailer, have the aiming readjusted at your dealer or by a qualified technici\
an.
