Acura 2011 MDX User Manual download pdf (Page 438)

Your vehicle has higher ground

clearance that allows you to travel

over bumps, obstacles, and rough

terrain. It also provides good

visibility so you can anticipate

problems earlier.

Because your vehicle rides higher off

the ground, it has a high center of

gravity that can cause it to roll over if

you make abrupt turns. Utility

vehicles have a significantly higher

roll over rate than other types of

vehicles.

To prevent rollovers or loss of

control:

●

Take corners at slower speeds

than you would with a passenger

vehicle.

●

Avoid sharp turns and abrupt

maneuvers whenever possible.

●

Do not modify your vehicle in any

way that would raise the center of

gravity.

●

Do not carry heavy cargo on the

roof.

Your vehicle is equipped with a super

handling-all wheel drive (SH-AWD)

system. When the system senses a

loss of one or more wheel traction, it

automatically transfers some power

to the other wheels. This gives you

better traction and mobility.

You still need to exercise the same

care when accelerating, steering, and

braking that you would in a two-

wheel drive vehicle.

See page 494 for off-highway driving

guidelines.
