Towing a Trailer (cont'd)
Hitches
Use only a hitch recommended by your Honda dealer. The hitch
should be bolted securely to the car and installed by a qualified
technician. Do not use a hitch designed for temporary installation
and never use one that attaches only to the bumper.
Trailer Brakes and Safety Chains
The Honda Automobile Division recommends that trailers equipped
with brakes should conform to any applicable federal and state/
provinces regulations. When using a trailer equipped with electric
brakes, a trailer brake controller that connects to the car's electrical
system is recommended. Installing a brake controller that connects
to the car's brake hydraulic system could result in brake fluid
contamination or leaks. A safety chain must always be used
between the car and the trailer. Leave sufficient slack in the chain
so that it does not bind in sharp turns. The chain should cross under
the trailer tongue to prevent the tongue from dropping to the
ground.
Tires
Make sure your car's tires are properly inflated. Adjust tire pressure
to the recommended tire pressure indicated on the label attached to
the driver's door jamb. The trailer tires should be of the proper size,
load rating and inflated to the pressure recommended by the trailer
manufacturer.
Trailer Lights
Trailer lights must comply with federal, state/provinces and local
regulations. See your local recreational vehicle dealer or rental
agency for the correct type of lighting and wiring for your trailer.
Check for correct operation of the turn signals and stop lights each
time you hitch up.
A trailer lighting connector is provided behind the left garnish by
the taillight access door in the trunk. The wiring color codes are
described on the next page.
