Interio r Feature s
An open glove box can

cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash, even if
the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always keep the glove box
closed while driving.

Carryin
g Carg o

Your vehicle has several
convenient storage areas so you
can stow cargo safely.
The glove box, the console
compartment, and the pockets in the front doors, seat-backs, and
cargo area are designed for small,
lightweight items. The cargo area is intended for larger, heavier
items. In addition, the back seat
can be folded down to allow you
to carry more cargo or longer

items.

However, carrying too much
cargo, or improperly storing it,
can affect your vehicle's handling,
stability, and operation and make
it unsafe. Before carrying any
type of cargo, be sure to read the
following pages.
Drivin g Tip s

Carryin
g Item s in th e

Passenge r Compartmen t
Store or secure all items that
could be thrown around and
hurt someone during a crash. Be sure items placed on the
floor behind the front seats
cannot roll under the seats
and interfere with the driver's
ability to operate the pedals,
or with the proper operation
of the seats. Keep the glove box closed
while driving. If the lid is open,
a passenger could injure his
knees during a crash or sudden
stop.
Carryin
g Carg o in th e Carg o
Are a o r o n a Roo f Rac k Distribute cargo evenly on the
floor of the cargo area, placing
the heaviest items on the
bottom and as far forward as
possible.
If you fold down the back seat,
tie down items that could be
thrown about the vehicle
during a crash or sudden stop. If you carry large items that
prevent you from closing the hatch glass or rear door,
exhaust gas can enter the
passenger area. To avoid the
possibility of carbon monoxide
poisoning, follow the instructions on page 44. If you carry any items on a roof
rack, be sure the total weight of the rack and the items does not
exceed 200 Ib (90 kg).
Driving Tip s

Safet
y Chai n

Always use a suitable safety chain

between your vehicle and the

trailer.

Check with your trailer

manufacturer for the required

equipment. Cross the safety

chains under the hitch and attach

them to the trailer hitch hardware.

This will prevent the trailer from

dropping to the ground in the

event the hitch disengages. For
proper use and installation,
consult your trailer manufacturer.

Traile r Light s
Trailer lights and equipment must
comply with federal, state and local regulations. Check with your
local recreational vehicle dealer
for the requirements in your area. Use only equipment designed for
your vehicle.
Improper equipment or installation can cause damage to
your vehicle's electrical system and affect your vehicle warranty.
Consult your Honda dealer for installation.

Tire s

Always check the condition of
your vehicle's tires and trailer's
tires before operation. Replace
worn or damaged tires before

operation.

Inflate tire pressure to the
recommended cold tire pressure indicated in the tire
manufacturer's warranty booklet in the glove box packet.
Check the tire manufacturer's

requirements when replacement

tires are installed on your vehicle.

Trailer tire condition, size, load

rating, and proper inflation

pressure should be in accordance

with the tire manufacturer's

specifications. Improper tire size

and inflation can cause tire

failure, possibly resulting in

vehicle damage and personal
injury.

Traile r Brake s
Trailers with a total weight of
1,000 pounds or more require trailer brakes. If your trailer is
equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal,state, and local equipment
regulations.
