62 Basic Operation & Driving Guidelines
Driving Up a Hill
If you decide that it is safe to drive your Honda MUV up a hill:
• Select an appropriate drive mode for the hill.
• Approach the hill with enough speed to smoothly start up the hill.
• Maintain a steady speed as you climb the hill.
• Reduce speed as you approach the top, and watch for other vehicles
that may be approaching the top from the other side of the hill.
If You Stall Going Up a Hill
If a hill is steeper than you expected, traction is poor, or you don
ʼ
t
maintain sufficient speed, you may begin to stall. If that happens:
• Stop the vehicle and set the parking brake.
• If you have a passenger, you may want to have them get out and move
away from the vehicle.
• If you are headed straight up the hill, shift into reverse, release the
parking brake, and slowly back straight down the hill, using the brake
pedal to control speed.
Driving Down a Hill
Before driving down a hill, as with driving up a hill, you need to
evaluate whether you can make it safely to the bottom and away from
the slope.
Ask yourself:
• Is the hill too steep to maintain speed and steering control?
• Is the surface too rough or too slippery?
• Can you drive straight down without turning?
• Is there a safe exit when you reach the bottom of the hill?
