Driving Tips
Safety Chain
Always use suitable safety chains
between your vehicle and the
trailer.
Check with your trailer
manufacturer for the required
equipment. Cross the safety
chains under the hitch and attach
them to the trailer hitch hardware.
This will prevent the trailer from
dropping to the ground in the
event the hitch disengages. For
proper use and installation,
consult your trailer manufacturer.
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.
Use only equipment designed for
your vehicle.
Improper equipment or
installation can cause damage to
your vehicles electrical system
and affect your vehicle warranty.
Consult your Honda dealer for
installation.
Tires
Always check the condition of
your vehicles tires and trailers
tires before operation. Replace
worn or damaged tires before
operation.
Inflate tire pressure to the
recommended cold tire pressure
indicated in the tire
manufacturers warranty booklet
in the glove box packet.
Check the tire manufacturers
requirements when replacement
tires are installed on your vehicle.
Trailer tire condition, size, load
rating, and proper inflation
pressure should be in accordance
with the tire manufacturers
specifications. Improper tire size
and inflation can cause tire
failure, possibly resulting in
vehicle damage and personal
injury.
Trailer Brakes
Trailers with a total weight of
1,000 pounds or more require
trailer brakes. If your trailer is
equipped with a braking system,
make sure it conforms to federal,
state, and local equipment
regulations.
