Honda CR-V: Driving Preparation / Interior Checks
- Store or secure all items on board properly.
- Carrying too much cargo, or improperly storing it, can affect your
vehicle's
handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.
- Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
- They can block your view and may be thrown forward in the event of
sudden
braking.
- Do not place anything in the front seat footwells. Make sure to secure
the floor
mat.
- An object or unsecured floor mat can interfere with your brake and
accelerator
pedal operation while driving.
- If you have any animals on board, do not let them move around in the
vehicle.
- They may interfere with driving and a crash could occur.
- Securely close and lock all doors and the tailgate.
- Adjust your seating position properly.
- Adjust the head restraint, too.
- Adjust the mirrors and steering wheel properly for your driving.
- Adjust them while sitting in the proper driving position.
- Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll
under the
seats.
- They can interfere with the driver's ability to operate the pedals,
the operation
of the seats, or the operation of the sensors under the seats.
- Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
- Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you
start the
vehicle, and go off soon after.
- Always have a dealer check the vehicle if a problem is indicated.
The headlight aim is set by the factory, and does not
need to be adjusted. However, if you regularly carry
heavy items in the cargo area or tow a trailer, have
the aiming readjusted at a dealer or by a qualified
technician.
Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors,
exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
