To use the trailer lighting connector,
you will need a wiring harness and
converter. This comes with the
Honda hitch (see page
), or it
may be obtained separately from
your dealer.
If you use a non-Honda trailer
lighting harness and converter, you
can get the connector and pins that
mate with the connector in your
vehicle from your dealer.
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.
When towing a trailer, we
recommend that you carry a full-size
spare wheel and tire for your vehicle
and trailer. If you use the compact
spare tire that came with your
vehicle, it could adversely affect
vehicle handling. See page
for
proper tire size, page
for how to
store a full size wheel and tire, and
page
for information on
changing a flat tire.
Ask your trailer sales or rental
agency if any other items are
recommended or required for your
towing situation.
Many states and 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.
Remember to unhitch the trailer
before changing a flat. Ask your
trailer sales or rental agency where
and how to store the trailer’s spare
tire.
Your vehicle has a trailer lighting
connector behind the right side
panel in the cargo area. Refer to the
drawing above for the purpose of
each pin.
Because of the Michelin PAX system,
you must not change a flat tire, or
use a compact spare tire on your
vehicle.
