Towing a Trailer

Trailer Brakes

Honda recommends that any trailer

having a total weight of 1,000 Ibs

(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

vehicle's hydraulic system. No

matter how successful it may seem,

any attempt to attach trailer brakes

to your vehicle's hydraulic system

will lower braking effectiveness and

create a potential hazard.

Trailer Lights

Your vehicle has a trailer lighting

connector located behind the left
side panel in the cargo area. Refer to

the drawing above for the wiring

color code and purpose of each pin.

If you use a converter, you can get
the connector and pins that mate

with the connector in your vehicle
from your Honda dealer.

Since lighting and wiring vary with
trailer type and brand, you should
also have a qualified technician
install a suitable connector between

the vehicle and the trailer.
