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
Honda recommends that trailers equipped with brakes should
conform to any applicable federal and state 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 in the spare tire compartment,
in the notched area, left of the spare tire. The wiring color codes are
described on the next page.
