11 4Interior Features
Be careful when you are using the
beverage holder. A spilled liquid
that is very hot can scald you or
your passengers. Spilled liquids
can also damage the upholstery,
carpeting, and electrical
components in the interior.
Sun Visor
The sun visor can be pivoted to
the side when unhooked.

Glove Box
Open the glove box by pulling the
handle.
The glove box can be locked and
unlocked with the ignition key.
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.

175Driving Tips
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.
Carrying Cargo

177Driving Tips
Carrying Items in the
Passenger Compartment
• 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’s knees could be
injured during a crash or
sudden stop.
Carrying Cargo in the Cargo
Area or on a Roof Rack
• 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 47.
•If you carry any items on a roof
rack, be sure the total weight of
the rack and the items does not
exceed 200 lb (90 kg).

181Driving Tips
Safety Chain
Always use suitable safety chains
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.
Trailer Lights
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.
Tires
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.
Trailer Brakes
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.
