uuOff-Highway Driving Guidelines uOff-Highway Driving
Driving
Off-highway driving requires special skills, knowledge and experience, as the safety
risks are greatly increased when the yo ur vehicle is operated at its upper
performance abilities. As a responsible driver, you should not drive above your skill
limits or training, even if your vehicle’ s performance levels would otherwise allow
you to do so. If you intend to engage in off-highway drivi ng, Honda strongly
recommends that:
• You first obtain appropriate, professional training
• Turn off any devices or systems that may distract you from the driving task
Off-highway driving in genera l, results in greater wear and tear on the vehicle. If
your vehicle is not in top c ondition or if certain compon ents, such as the brakes or
tires, have undue wear, those components could experience a loss of performance,
or fail, when engaging in off-highway driv ing. Therefore, Honda highly recommends
that you undertake more proactive and frequent maintenance than that required
under normal use and have your vehicle insp ected at an authorized dealer (and all
necessary repairs or adjustments made) before you engage in any off-highway
driving. In addition to any required ma intenance, there are specific items and
protocols that you should pay special atte ntion to before, during and after engaging
in any off-highway driving. Ultimately, the decision whether to engage in off-
highway driving is yours, and depending on your vehicle’s condition and prior usage,
the items and protocols listed below may or may not be sufficient to ensure a safe
driving experience.
BEFORE DRIVING
•Before off-highway driving, fill the engine oil up to the upper level.
• Recommend starting with full fuel tank and not allowing fuel to drop below ¼
tank while driving off-highway.

uuWhen Driving uAutomatic Transmission
532
Driving
If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location.
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.
Automatic Transmission
When the engine runs at higher idle speeds, the creeping force increases.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.
Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the
transmission to drop to a lower gear, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed. Depress
the accelerator pedal carefully, especi ally on slippery roads and curves.
■Other Precautions
■Creeping
■Kickdown

uuWhen Driving uVehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System
Continued
Driving
Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®), aka Electronic
Stability Control (ESC), System
VSA ® helps 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 ou tput and selectively 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.
The Vehicle Stability Assist
TM (VSA ®) system, Adaptive
Cruise Control (ACC) with Low Speed Follow, brake
system (amber), and safety support indicators may
come on in amber along with a message in the driver
information interface when you set the power mode
to ON after reconnecting the battery.
Drive a short distance at more than 12 mph (20 km/h).
Each indicator should go off. If any do not, have your
vehicle checked by a dealer.
