Towing a Trailer
The best way to confirm that your
total towing package is within these
specifications is to get it weighed.
Load the car and trailer as you
normally would while towing, and
take them to a public scale. Have
them check the total weight and the
weight at each axle, then compare
the weights to the specifications.
Trailer Hitches
Your Honda dealer, or the Honda
Customer Relations Zone Office, can
give you advice on the proper hitch
for your car. Never use a hitch that
mounts only to the rear bumper. The
bumper is not designed to handle
that type of load. The hitch should
bolt to the underbody of the car and
distribute the load over a wide area.
Always have a trailer hitch installed
by a qualified technician.
A trailer hitch that is not adequate for
the size of the trailer, or a hitch that is
improperly installed, can cause damage
to the underside of your car.
Driving
Improperly loading your car and
trailer can seriously affect its
steering and braking
performance, causing a crash
in which you can be seriously
injured.
Check the loading of your car
and trailer carefully before
starting to drive.
