Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important and operatin\
g this vehicle
safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed
decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore\
, you must
use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them.
Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help
to keep you and your passengers safe.
Important Safety Precautions
• Always wear your seat belt.
• Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
• Be aware of airbag hazards.
• Don’t drink and drive.
• Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely.
• Control your speed.
• Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you fr\
om paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead \
to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe
to divert some attention away from driving.
Important Handling Information Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle designe\
d for
use only on pavement. Higher ground clearance has many advantages for of\
f-
highway driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and roug\
h terrain.
It also provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier.
These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and r\
ides
higher off the ground, it has a higher center gravity making it more sus\
ceptible to
tipping or roll over if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have a s\
ignificantly
higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, \
an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a sea\
t belt. As a
reminder, make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.

Seat Belt Inspection
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows:
• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily. If a belt does
not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Use only mild soap
and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure the belt is
completely dry before allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not prov\
ide proper
protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level \
of
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a de\
aler after
any collision.
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or d\
eath if
the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon a\
s
possible.
WARNING
Fastening a Seat Belt Adjust your seat to the proper position (see page 42), and then follow\
the below
steps.
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug
on the belt to make sure the buckle is secure.
Make sure that the belt is not twisted or caught
on anything.
3. Position the lap part of the belt as low as possible
across your hips, then pull up on the shoulder
part of the belt so the lap part fits snugly. This lets
your strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash
and reduces the chance of internal injuries.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove
any slack, then make sure that the belt rests
across the center of your chest and over your
shoulder. This spreads the forces of a crash over
the strongest bones in your upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRESS button
then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted
completely.
Adjusting the Shoulder AnchorThe front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller a\
nd
shorter occupants.
1. Move the anchor up and down while holding the
release button.
2. Position the anchor so that the belt rests across
the center of your chest and over your shoulder.
Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death \
in a
crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
WARNING
Pull out slowly.

Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace\
any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by a dealer in the following situations:
When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts mu\
st be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the foll\
owing: the
driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat
belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.
Do not remove or modify a front seat without first consulting a dealer
This would likely disable the driver’s seat position sensor or the weight sensors
in the passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to
accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a Honda dealer. For U.S.
vehicles, call Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009. Fo\
r Canadian
vehicles, call Honda Canada Customer Relations at (888) 946-6329.Child Safety
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are
either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisi\
ons are the
number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in \
a rear seat.
Some states or provinces/territories have laws restricting where childre\
n may ride.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian \
province
and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained \
when they ride
in a vehicle.
Protecting Child Passengers• An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting i\
n the front seat.
• A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver’\
s ability to
safely control the vehicle.
• Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they \
are
properly restrained in a rear seat.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrai\
ned in an
approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either\
the lap
belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system.
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them \
in the
event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the bel\
t would
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be ve\
ry
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments\
.
• Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weath\
er when
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could al\
so activate
vehicle controls, causing it to move unexpectedly.
Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously \
injured or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly restrained in a c\
hild
seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt, usi\
ng a
booster seat if necessary.

SAFETYSAFETY
Protecting Infants
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the
infant reaches the seat manufacturer’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the
infant is at least one year old. Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat
for a child up to two years old if the child’s height and weight are appropriate for a
rear-facing seat.
Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear
seating position. Rear-facing child seats should
never be installed in a forward-facing position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front
passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their\
seat-back
in the desired position. If this occurs, we recommend that you install t\
he child
seat directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as
needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing
child seat.
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or
death during a crash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.
WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck \
can
result in serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unuse\
d seat
belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.
WARNING Protecting Smaller ChildrenIf a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicate\
d by the child
seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured
forward-facing child seat.
We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing
child seat in a rear seating position.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat
can be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags
that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag
off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in seri\
ous
injury or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle\
seat
as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.
WARNING
Selecting a Child SeatMost child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren).
Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-type connector.
Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child s\
eats can
only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow\
the child
seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this
manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible
child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for add\
ed security.
This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they\
can be
secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addit\
ion, the
child seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a \
LATCH-
compatible seat once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read t\
he child
seat owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.
Important considerations when selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
• The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
• The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.

SAFETYSAFETY
Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in each of the second- and th\
ird-
row seats. A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the\
rigid or
flexible type of connectors.
1. Locate the lower anchors under the marks.
2. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then
attach the child seat to the lower anchors
according to the instructions that came with the
child seat. Make sure that the lower anchors
are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other
object.

3. For second-row outer seats: Raise the outer
head restraint to its highest position, then route
the tether strap between the head restraint legs,
and secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
For the center seat: Lower the center head
restraint to its lowest position, then route the
tether strap over the top of the head restraint,
and secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
For third-row outer seats: Route the tether strap
hook between the head restraint legs, and secure
the tether strap hook onto the anchor. Make sure
the strap is not twisted.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions.
5. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
6. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the lo\
ckable
retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked.

SAFETYSAFETY
Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child seat
according to the seat manufacturer’s
instructions, and insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor.
4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the
retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the
shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not
activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and
repeat steps 3 – 4.
5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the
buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from
the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place
your weight on the child seat and push it into the
vehicle seat.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and
locked.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to
wind up all the way.
Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each second- and third-row s\
eating
position. If you have a child restraint system that comes with a tether \
but can be
installed with a seat belt, the tether may be used for additional securi\
ty.
Using a second-row anchor
1. For outer positions: Raise the outer head
restraint to its highest position, then route the
tether strap between the head restraint legs, and
secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
For the center position: Lower the center head
restraint to its lowest position, then route the
tether strap over the top of the head restraint,
and secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
2. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child
seat manufacturer.
Using a third-row anchor
1. Route the tether strap hook between the head
restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook
onto the anchor. Make sure the strap is not
twisted.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
3. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child
seat manufacturer.

SAFETYSAFETY
Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear sea\
t using the
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the followi\
ng:
• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge
of the seat.
• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s
neck and arm.
• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible,
touching the child’s thighs.
• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat
in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to \
use a
booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 6\
0 lbs). Be sure
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you inten\
d to drive.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injur\
y or death
if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to th\
e rear as
possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt pro\
perly,
using a booster seat if needed.

DRIVING
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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 s\
ection, and
get acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement.
Improperly operating this vehicle on or off pavement can cause a crash o\
r
rollover in which you and your passengers can be seriously injured or ki\
lled.
• Follow all instructions and guidelines in this owner’s guide.
• Keep your speed low, and don’t drive faster than conditions permit.

How to weigh the trailer loads using a public scale
Check each weight in the order indicated as shown. Refer to the table be\
low for
each weight’s limit except for the tongue load.
• If you cannot weigh the rear axle, subtract 1 from 2.
• The maximum gross combined weight (4) decreases by 2% for every 1,000 feet
(305 m) of elevation.
• To calculate the tongue load, subtract 5 from 6.
• Refer to the trailer owner’s manual for additional information.
Fully load the vehicle and trailer. An attendant who watches the scale is needed
as all occupants should stay in the vehicle.
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 then
measure the tongue load with
an appropriate scale or tongue
gauge or estimate it based on
cargo distribution.

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 cooli\
ng
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 scal\
e 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 \
