Your MDX can be towed behind a
motorhome at legal highway speeds
up to 65 mph (100 km/h). Do not
exceed 65 mph (100 km/h) or severe
transmission damage will occur. To
avoid damage to the 4WD system, it
must be towed with all four wheels
on the ground (flat towing).
When purchasing a tow bar, make
sure you select a reputable
manufacturer. Follow the
manufacturer’s attachment
instructions carefully.
Perform this procedure every day
immediately before you begin towing.
Otherwise, severe automatic
transmission damage will occur.
Start the engine.
Check the transmission fluid level
(see page
).
Press on the brake pedal. Shift the
lever through all the positions (P,
R, N, D , D , D , 2, 1).
Shift to D , then to N. Let the
engine run for three minutes, then
turn it off.
Release the parking brake.
Leave the ignition switch in the
ACCESSORY (I) position so the
steering wheel does not lock.
Make sure the radio and any items
plugged into the accessory power
sockets are turned off so you do
not run down the battery.
If you tow more than 8 hours in one
day, you should repeat the above
procedure at least every 8 hours
(when you stop for fuel, etc.)
