Driving Guidelines for Your Utility Vehicle  
■
NOTICE  
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles.  
To prevent rollovers or loss of control:  
Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the  
accelerator pedal. You could damage the  
transmission.  
• 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.  
• Never carry more than 165 lbs (75 kg) of cargo on the roof rack (Honda  
accessory).  
NOTICE  
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an  
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel on  
the full left or right position for a while, the system  
heats up. The system goes into a protective mode,  
and limits its performance. The steering wheel  
becomes harder and harder to operate. Once the  
system cools down, the EPS system is restored.  
Repeated operation under these conditions can  
eventually damage the system.  
In Rain  
■
Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine,  
driveline, or cause electrical component failure.  
Other Precautions  
■
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.  
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.
