2009 Honda Ridgeline Owner's Manual - Page 310

Main Menu Table Of Contents Off-Highway Driving Guidelines General Information Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement. But its higher ground clearance and fourwheel drive VTM-4 system allow you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads and surfaces. Your vehicle is not designed for trailblazing, mountain climbing, or other challenging off-road activities. If you decide to drive on unpaved roads, you will find that it requires somewhat different driving skills. Your vehicle will also handle somewhat differently than it does on pavement. Be sure to pay extra attention to the precautions and tips in this section, and get acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement. Improperly operating this vehicle on or off-pavement can cause an accident or rollover in which you and your passengers could be seriously injured or killed. Follow all instructions and guidelines in this owner's manual. Keep your speed low, and don't drive faster than conditions permit. 306 2009 Ridgeline
