Features
2. Potential Map Inaccuracy and Route Safety. Maps used by this system may be inaccurate  because of changes in roads, traffic controls, 
routing, or driving conditions. Always use good judgment and co mmon sense when following suggested routes. Do not follow the ro ute 
suggestions if doing so would result in an unsafe or illegal driving maneuver, if you would be placed in an unsafe situation, or if you would 
be directed into an area that you consider  unsafe. Do not rely on any navigation featur es included in the system to route you to emergency 
services. Not all emergency services such as  police, fire stations, hospitals, or clinics are likely to be contained in the map  database for such 
navigation features. Ask local authorities or  an emergency services operator for such locations and routes. The driver is ultimately 
responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore, must evaluate whether  it is safe to follow the suggested directions. Any 
navigation features are pr ovided only as an aid. Make your  driving decisions based on your obse rvations of local conditions and existing 
traffic regulations. Navigation features are not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by the SOF TWARE or 
SERVICES should never replace any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe driving practices.
3.  Speech Recognition:
 You acknowledge and understand that HONDA and PROV IDERS may record, retain, and use voices commands 
when you use the speech recognition componen ts of the SOFTWARE or SERVICES. You and all VEHICLE operators and passengers (a) 
consent to the recording and retention of  voice commands in support of providing speech recognition components and (b) release  HONDA 
and PROVIDERS from all claims, liabilities, and losses that may result  from any use of such recorded voice commands. Recognitio n errors 
are inherent in speech recognition. It is your responsibility to  monitor any speech recognition functions included in the syste m and address 
any errors. Neither HONDA nor PROVIDERS will  be liable for any damages arising out of errors in the speech recognition process.
4.  Distraction Hazards.
 Navigation features may require manual (non-verbal) input  or setup. Attempting to perform such set-up or insert 
data while driving can seriously distract your attention and co uld cause a crash or other serious consequences; the ability to  undertake such 
interactions may also be limited by state  or local law, which laws you are responsible to know and follow. Even occasional shor t scans of 
the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted  away from your driving at a critical time. Pull over and stop the vehicle in 
a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function  of the system requiring prolonged attention. Do not raise the vo lume 
excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and  emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable 
to hear these sounds could result in a crash.

uuOff-Highway Driving Guidelines uAvoiding Trouble
Driving
Avoiding Trouble
• Check Out Your Vehicle  before you leave the pavement and make sure that all 
scheduled maintenance has been completed. Pay special attention to the 
condition of the tires, and check the tire pressures.
• Remember  the route you choose presents limi ts (too steep or bumpy), you have 
limits (driving skill and comfort), and your ve hicle has limits (traction, stability, and 
power). Failing to recognize these limits will likely put you and your passengers in 
a hazardous situation.
• Accelerating and Braking should be done slowly and  gradually. Trying to start 
or stop too fast can cause a loss of traction and you could lose control.
• Avoiding Obstacles and Debris  in the road reduces the likelihood of a rollover 
or damage to your suspension or other components.
• Driving on Slopes  increases your risk of a rollover, particularly if you attempt to 
drive across a slope that is too steep. Goin g straight up or down a slope is usually 
the safest. If you can’t clearly see all cond itions or obstacles on a slope, walk it 
before you drive it. If there is any doubt  whether you can safely pass, don’t try it. 
Find another route. If you get stuck when climbing, do not try to turn around. 
Back down slowly following the same route you took up the hill.
• Crossing a Stream - Avoid driving through deep  water. If you encounter water 
in your route (a small stream or large pu ddle, for example), evaluate it carefully 
before going ahead. Make sure it is shallow, flowing slowly, and has firm ground 
underneath. If you are not sure of the  depth or the ground, turn around and find 
another route. Driving through deep water can also damage your vehicle. The 
water can get into the transmission and di fferential, diluting the lubricant and 
causing an eventual failure. It can also wash the grease out of the wheel bearings.
• If You Get Stuck , carefully go in the direction  that you think will get you 
unstuck. Do not spin the tires as this  will only make things worse and could 
damage the transmission. If you are unable  to free yourself, your vehicle will need 
to be towed. Front tow hook is  provided for this purpose.

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Driving
Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic 
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less 
than what was intended. It also assists in  maintaining traction on slippery surfaces. 
It does so by regulating  engine output and select ively applying the brakes.
When VSA ® activates, you may notice that the 
engine does not respond to the accelerator. 
You may also notice some noise from the 
hydraulic brake system. You will also see the 
indicator blink.
■VSA ® Operation
1 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC), System
The VSA ® may not function properl y if tire type and 
size are mixed. Make sure to use the same size and 
type of tire, and the air pressures as specified.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays 
on while driving, there ma y be a problem with the 
system. While this may not interfere with normal 
driving, have your vehi cle checked by a dealer 
immediately.
VSA ® cannot enhance stability in  all driving situations 
and does not control the entire braking system. You 
still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate 
for the conditions and always leave a sufficient 
margin of safety.
The main function of the VSA ® system is generally 
known as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). The 
system also includes a  traction control function.

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Driving
This button is on the driver side control panel. 
To partially disable VSA ® functionality/
features, press and hold it until you hear a 
beep.
The traction control stop s fully functioning, 
allowing the wheels to spin more freely at low 
speed. The VSA ® OFF indicator will also come 
on and a message on the driver information 
interface informs you that the mode is 
changed.
Traction control mode cannot be changed 
during Mud or Sand modes. If you are driving 
on mud or sand, Mud or Sand Intelligent 
Traction Management modes can also be 
used to free a stuck ve hicle. On other road 
surfaces, change to Normal or Snow mode, 
then press and hold the   (VSA ® OFF) button.
To restore VSA ® functionality/features, press 
the  (VSA ® OFF) button until you hear a 
beep. 
VSA ® is turned on every time you start the 
engine, even if you turned it off the last time 
you drove the vehicle.
■VSA ® On and Off1 Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA® ), aka Electronic Stability Control 
(ESC), System
With the   button pressed, your vehicle will have 
normal braking and corn ering ability, but VSA® 
traction and stability enhancement becomes less 
effective.
In certain unusual  conditions when your vehicle gets 
stuck in shallow mud or fr esh snow, it may be easier 
to free it with the VSA ® temporarily switched off.
When the   button is pressed, the traction control 
function becomes less effective. This allows for the 
wheels to spin more freely  at low speed. You should 
only attempt to free your vehicle with the VSA ® off if 
you are not able to free it when the VSA ® is on.
Immediately after  freeing your vehicle, be sure to 
switch VSA ® on again. We do not recommend driving 
your vehicle with the VSA ® system switched off.
You may hear a motor sound coming from the 
engine compartment while system checks are being 
performed immediately after starting the engine or 
while driving. This is normal.
