Off-highway driving guidelines – HONDA 2013 Ridgeline User Manual
Page 309
Your vehicle has been designed
primarily for use on pavement. But
its higher ground clearance and four-
wheel 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.
