92 || 93 DRIVING DRIVING TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX VISUAL INDEX VOICE COMMAND INDEX SAFETY INFORMATION CUSTOMER INFORMATION INSTRUMENT PANEL SPECIFICATIONS VEHICLE CONTROLS MAINTENANCE AUDIO AND CONNECTIVITY HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED BLUETOOTH® HANDSFREELINK® DRIVING HONDALINK® NAVIGATION Learn about preparation for driving, as well as other features. Before Driving Check the following items before you begin driving. Exterior Checks • Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior lights, or other parts of the vehicle. • Remove any frost, snow, or ice. • Make sure the hood is securely closed. • Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite flammable materials left u\ nder the hood, causing a fire. If you’ve parked your vehicle for an exte\ nded period, inspect and remove any debris that may have collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by\ a small animal. Also check under the hood for leftover flammable materials aft\ er you or someone else has performed maintenance on your vehicle. • Make sure the tires are in good condition. • Make sure there are no people or objects behind or around the vehicle. DRIVING If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to me\ lt any ice. Do not try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim a\ round the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid further freezing. NOTICE 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. 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 s\ ection, and get acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement. 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 Improperly operating this vehicle on or off pavement can cause a crash o\ r rollover in which you and your passengers can be seriously hurt or kille\ d. Follow all instructions and guidelines in this guide. Keep your speed low, and don’t drive faster than conditions permit. WARNING Interior Checks • Store or secure all items on board properly. • Do not pile items higher than the seat height. • Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure t\ he floor mats. • If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely around in \ the vehicle. • Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate. • Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly. • Make sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll\ under the seats. • Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt. • Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you s\ tart the vehicle, and go off soon after.
