Driving In Bad Weather, Towing A Trailer
Traction
— Check your tires fre-
quently for wear and proper pres-
sure. Both are important in prevent-
ing "hydroplaning" (loss of traction
on a wet surface). In the winter,
mount snow tires on all four wheels
for the best handling.
Watch road conditions carefully, they
can change from moment to moment.
Wet leaves can be as slippery as ice.
"Clear" roads can have patches of ice.
Driving conditions can be very haz-
ardous when the outside temperature
is near freezing. The road surface
can become covered with areas of
water puddles mixed with areas of
ice, so your traction can change
without warning.
Be careful when downshifting. If
traction is low, you can lock up the
drive wheels for a moment and cause
a skid.
Be very cautious when passing, or
being passed by, other vehicles. The
spray from large vehicles reduces
your visibility, and the wind buffeting
can cause you to lose control.
Towing A Trailer
Your NSX is not designed to tow a
trailer. Attempting to install a trailer
hitch on your NSX can cause serious
damage to its undercarriage.
