Driving
Maximum Load Limit
The maximum load for your vehicl e is 850 lbs (385 kg). See the
Tire and Loading Information la bel attached to the driver’s
doorjamb.
This figure includes the total weig ht of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer
.
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit -
(1) Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers
that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount
equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in
your vehicle, the am ount of available cargo and luggage load
capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
1 Maximum Load Limit
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR):
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all
occupants, all acce ssories, all cargo.
2 Specifications P. 508
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR):
The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle axle. 2 Specifications P. 508
3WARNING
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 manual.

Driving
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That we ight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicl e. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants,
accessories, cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVW R) or the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR). Both are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.1 Maximum Load Limit

See Towing a Trailer to determine whether your
vehicle is designed to tow a trailer.

Driving
■Automatic shutoff
The CMBSTM may automatically shut itself o ff and the safety support indicator
(amber) comes and stays on when:
• You drive off-road or on a mountain road, or curved and winding road for an
extended period.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving with the parking brake applied.
• The camera temperature gets too high.
• The radar sensor temperature gets too high.
• The front of the camera or radar sensor behind the Honda emblem is covered by
dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the
windshield.
• An abnormal tire condition is detected (incorrect tire size, flat tire, etc.).
• You are driving near an object or plac e that generates strong radio waves or
noise, such as a TV tower, broadcast station, power pl ant, or a vehicle equipped
with radar.
Once the conditions that caused the CMBS
TM to shut off improve or are addressed
(e.g., cleaning), the system comes back on.

With the power mode is in ON, carry out th e following steps to either activate or
deactivate the automatic parking brake feature.
1. Shift the select lever to
(P.
2. Without depressing the brake pedal, pull up and release the electric parking brake
switch.
u Check that the parking brake and brake system indicator (red) has come on.
3. Pull up and hold the electric parking br ake switch. When you hear a beeping
sound, release the switch and within three seconds pull up and hold the switch
again.
4. When you hear a sound indicating that the procedure is completed, release the
switch.
u Two beeps indicates that the feature has been activated.
u One beep indicates that the feature has been deactivated.
u When you have completed activating the feature, the parking brake will
remain applied after you turn off the engine.
u To confirm that the parking brake is ap plied, check if the parking brake and
brake system indicator (red) is on.
1 Parking Brake
In cold climates, the parking brake may freeze in
place if applied.
When parking the vehicle, chock the wheels and
make sure the automatic parking brake feature is
deactivated.
Also, when putting your vehicle through a conveyor-
type car wash or when ha ving your vehicle towed,
deactivate the automatic parking brake feature and
leave the parking brake released.

Driving
If you need to temporarily deactivate the feature while putting your vehicle through
a conveyor type car wash or when having your vehicle towed, follow the procedure
explained below.
1. Depress the brake pedal and bring the vehicle to a stop.
2. Set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF and then within two seconds push down the
electric parking brake switch.
u Activation and deactivation settings for the feature will not be affected.
u Before temporarily deactivating the feat ure, make sure to first turn off both
ACC with Low Speed Follow and the automatic brake hold system.
u To confirm that the parkin g brake is applied, check if the parking brake and
brake system indicator (red) is on.
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. The brake assist system
increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an
emergency situation. The an ti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering
control when brak ing very hard.

■Foot Brake
1Foot Brake
Check the brakes after driving through deep water,
or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If
necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the
pedal several times.
If you hear a continuous me tallic friction sound when
applying the brakes, this is caused by the brake wear
indicator rubbing on the brake rotor and indicates
that the brake pads need to be replaced. Have the
vehicle checked by a deal er. If you hear only an
occasional squeak or squeal when you initially apply
the brake pedal, this may be normal and caused by
high frequency vibr ation of the brake pads against
the rotating brake disc.
Constantly using the brake pedal while going down a
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake
effectiveness. Apply engine braking by taking your
foot off the accelerator pe dal and downshifting to a
speed position.
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause
them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad
life. It will also conf use drivers behind you.
Whenever the brakes are activated by CMBS
TM or
another system that automa tically controls braking,
the brake pedal is depressed and released in
accordance with braking function.
