Safe Driving
■When front airbags should not deploy
Minor frontal crashes: Front airbags were designed to supplement seat belts and
help save lives, not to prevent minor scrape s, or even broken bones that might occur
during a less than moderate-to-severe frontal crash.
Side impacts: Front airbags can provide protection when a sudden deceleration
causes a driver or front passenger to move toward the front of the vehicle. Side
airbags and side curtain airb ags have been specifically designed to help reduce the
severity of injuries that can occur during a moderate-to-severe side impact which
can cause the driver or passenger to move toward the side of the vehicle.
Rear impacts: Head restraints and seat belts are your best protection during a rear
impact. Front airbags cannot provide any si gnificant protection and are not designed
to deploy in such collisions.
Rollovers: In a rollover, your best form of protection is a seat belt or, if your vehicle
is equipped with a rollover sensor, both a se at belt and a side curtain airbag. Front
airbags, however, are not designed to deploy in a rollover as they would provide
little if any protection.
■When front airbags deploy with little or no visible damage
Because the airbag system senses sudden deceleration, a strong impact to the
vehicle framework or suspension might caus e one or more of the airbags to deploy.
Examples include running into a curb, the edge of a hole, or other low fixed object
that causes a sudden deceleration in th e vehicle chassis. Since the impact is
underneath the vehicle, damage may not be readily apparent.
■When front airbags may not deploy, even though exterior damage
appears severe
Since crushable body parts absorb crash energy during an impact, the amount of
visible damage does not always indicate proper airbag operation. In fact, some
collisions can result in severe damage but no airbag deployment because the airbags
would not have been needed or would not have provided protection even if they
had deployed.

uuOff-Highway Driving Guidelines uAvoiding Trouble
Driving
Avoiding Trouble
• Check Out Your Vehicle before you leave the pavement and make sure that all
scheduled maintenance has been comple ted. Pay special attention to the
condition of the tires, an d check the tire pressures.
• Remember the route you choose presents limits (too steep or bumpy), you have
limits (driving skill and comfort), and your ve hicle has limits (traction, stability, and
power). Failing to recognize these limits will likely put you and your passengers in
a hazardous situation.
• Accelerating and Braking should be done slowly and gradually. Trying to start
or stop too fast can cause a loss of traction and you could lose control.
• Avoiding Obstacles and Debris in the road reduces the likelihood of a rollover
or damage to your suspension or other components.
• Driving on Slopes increases your risk of a rollover, particularly if you attempt to
drive across a slope that is too steep. Going straight up or down a slope is usually
the safest. If you can’t clearly see all cond itions or obstacles on a slope, walk it
before you drive it. If there is any doubt whether you can safely pass, don’t try it.
Find another route. If you get stuck when climbing, do not try to turn around.
Back down slowly following the same route you took up the hill.
• Crossing a Stream - Avoid driving through deep water. If you encounter water
in your route (a small stream or large pu ddle, for example), evaluate it carefully
before going ahead. Make sure it is shallow, flowing slowly, and has firm ground
underneath. If you are not sure of the depth or the ground, turn around and find
another route. Driving through deep water can also damage your vehicle. When
driving in water that reaches around half of the wheel height, water can get into
the transmission and di fferential, diluting the lubric ant and causing an eventual
failure. It can also wash the grease out of the wheel bearings.
• If You Get Stuck, carefully go in the direction that you think will get you
unstuck. Do not spin the tires as this will only make things worse and could
damage the transmission. If you are unable to free yourself, your vehicle will need
to be towed. Front tow hook
* and trailer hitch* are provided for this purpose.
1 Avoiding Trouble
Spinning the tires can also damage the Intelligent
VTM4 (i-VTM4
TM) system.
Front Tow Hook:
The front tow hook is lacated by the underside of the
front bumper.
Rear Tow Hook:
Trailer Hitch safety chain loops and re ceiver are rated
for off-road recovery

Driving
INSPECT YOUR VEHICLE
• Driving off-highway can be hard on a vehi cle. Before you leave the pavement, be
sure all scheduled maintenance and service has been carried out, and that you
have inspected your vehicle and each of its relevant components to make sure
that it still is in a safe operating condition (example: wheel lug bolt torque, skid
plate
* and/or under body component damage, tire pressure, etc.). We
recommend repeating the BEFORE DRIVIN G protocol, and if any item shows
excessive wear or appears to be in an unusual condition, have it replaced, or
exercise appropriate caution when driv ing and see your authorized dealer.
For more information, please contact your authorized dealer, and/or Honda
Customer Service.
2 Customer Service Information P. 801
AFTER DRIVING
•After off-highway driving, it is critical to allow your vehicle to properly cool down.
• Check underneath your vehicle and each of its relevant components, including
the skid plates
*, to make sure that it still is in a safe operating condition (example:
wheel lug bolt torque, tire pressure, skid plate* damage, dirt and debris
accumulation on skids, and suspension components, etc.). We recommend
repeating the BEFORE DRIVING protocol, a nd if any item shows excessive wear or
appears to be in an unusual condition, ha ve it replaced, or exercise appropriate
caution when driving and se e your authorized dealer
• If operated in dirty conditions, clean brakes of abrasion materials to prevent
excessive wear or/and unpredictable braking.
