Load Limits


Your Honda has been designed primarily to carry passengers and their cargo. You can use it to tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper equipment, and follow the guidelines in this section.


Towing a Trailer


The total


Total Trailer Weight: weight of the trailer and everything loaded in it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 kg). Towing a load that is too heavy can seriously affect your car’s handling and performance. It can also damage the engine and drivetrain.


The weight that


Tongue Load: the tongue of a fully-loaded trailer puts on the hitch should be approximately 10 percent of the trailer weight. Too little tongue load can make the trailer unstable and cause it to sway. Too much tongue load reduces front-tire traction and steering control.

Towing a Trailer


To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 60 percent of the load toward the front of the trailer and 40 percent toward the rear, then re-adjust the load as needed.


Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR): The total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, all cargo, and the tongue load must not exceed:

Driving


Exceeding load limits or improperly loading your vehicle and trailer can cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.


Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive.


Main MenuTable of Contentsst 02/11/18 23:07:55 31SDP600 0268 


Checking Loads The best way to confirm that vehicle and trailer weights are within limits is to have them checked at a public scale.


Using a suitable scale or a special tongue load gauge, check the tongue load the first time you set up a towing combination (a fully-loaded car and trailer), then recheck the tongue load whenever the conditions change.


Towing Equipment and Accessories Towing can require a variety of equipment, depending on the size of your trailer, how it will be used, and how much load you are towing.


Discuss your needs with your trailer sales or rental agency, and follow the guidelines in the rest of this section. Also make sure that all equipment is properly installed and that it meets federal, state, province, and local regulations.


Towing a Trailer


Hitches Any hitch used on your car must be properly bolted to the underbody.

Towing a Trailer


Safety Chains Always use safety chains. Make sure they are secured to both the trailer and hitch, and that they cross under the tongue so they can catch the trailer if it becomes unhitched. Leave enough slack to allow the trailer to turn corners easily, but do not let the chains drag on the ground.


266


Driving


Trailer Brakes Honda recommends that any trailer having a total weight of 1,000 lbs (450 kg) or more be equipped with its own electric or surge-type brakes.


If you choose electric brakes, be sure they are electronically actuated. Do not attempt to tap into your car’s hydraulic system. No matter how successful it may seem, any attempt to attach trailer brakes to your car’s hydraulic system will lower braking effectiveness and create a potential hazard.


Seeyourtrailerdealerformore information on installing electric brakes.


Trailer Lights Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Check with your local recreational vehicle dealer for the requirements in your area, and use only equipment designed for your vehicle.


Since lighting and wiring vary by trailer type and brand, you should have a qualified technician install a suitable connector between the vehicle and the trailer. Improper equipment or installation can cause damage to your vehicle's electrical system and affect your vehicle warranty.


Main MenuTable of Contentsst 02/11/18 23:08:15 31SDP600 0270 


AdditionalTrailerEquipment Many states and Canadian provinces require special outside mirrors when towing a trailer. Even if they don’t, you should install special mirrors if you cannot clearly see behind you, or if the trailer creates a blind spot.


Ask your trailer sales or rental agency if any other items are recommended or required for your towing situation.

Your car tires and spare are properly inflated (see page ), and the trailer tires and spare are inflated as recommended by the trailer maker.

Towing a Trailer


Driving Safely With a Trailer The added weight, length, and height of a trailer will affect your car’s handling and performance, so driving with a trailer requires some special driving skills and techniques.


For your safety and the safety of others, take time to practice driving maneuvers before heading for the open road, and follow the guidelines discussed below.


TowingSpeedsandGears Drive slower than normal in all driving situations, and obey posted speed limits for cars with trailers. If you have an automatic transmission, use D position when towing a trailer on level roads. D is the proper shift lever position to use when towing a trailer in hilly terrain. (See ‘‘ Driving onHills additional gear information.)


’’ in the next column for


268


Driving


If you must stop when facing uphill, use the foot brake or parking brake. Do not try to hold the vehicle in place by pressing on the accelerator, as this can cause the automatic transmission to overheat.


When driving down hills, reduce your speed and shift down to 2nd gear. Do not ‘‘ride’’ the brakes, and remember it will take longer to slow down and stop when towing a trailer.


MakingTurnsandBraking Make turns more slowly and wider than normal. The trailer tracks a smaller arc than your car, and it can hit or run over something the car misses. Allow more time and distance for braking. Do not brake or turn suddenly as this could cause the trailer to jackknife or turn over.


DrivingonHills When climbing hills, closely watch your temperature gauge. If it nears the red (Hot) mark, turn the air conditioning off, reduce speed and, if necessary, pull to the side of the road to let the engine cool.


If the automatic transmission shifts frequently within 3rd, 4th and 5th gears while going up a hill, shift to D .

Towing a Trailer


HandlingCrosswindsandBuffeting Crosswinds and air turbulence caused by passing trucks can disrupt your steering and cause trailer swaying. When being passed by a large car, keep a constant speed and steer straight ahead. Do not try to make quick steering or braking corrections.


Parking Follow all normal precautions when parking, including firmly setting the parking brake and putting the transmission in Park (automatic) or in 1st or Reverse (manual). Also, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.


BackingUp Always drive slowly and have someone guide you when backing up. Grip the wheel; then turn the wheel to the left to get the trailer to move to the left, and turn the wheel right to move the trailer to the right.

Maintenance Safety


Important Safety Precautions Before you begin any maintenance, make sure your car is parked on level ground and that the parking brake is set. Also, be sure the engine is off. This will help to eliminate several potential hazards:


Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you operate the engine.


Burns from hot parts. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before touching any parts.


Injury from moving parts. not run the engine unless in- structed to do so.


Do


Read the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools and skills required.


To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, be careful when working around gasoline or batteries. Use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not gasoline, to clean parts. Keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.


You should wear eye protection and protective clothing when working near the battery or when using compressed air.
