Towing
If towing is necessary, contact a professional towing service. Your
authorized Honda dealer can assist you with detailed towing
instructions.
Never use tow chains or rope to tow a car; your ability to safely
control the car may be adversely affected.
We recommend the following:
Flat Bed Equipment — Entire car is winched on a flat bed vehicle.
This is the best way of transporting your Honda.
Wheel Lift Type — Tow with the front wheels off the ground.
If the car can only be towed with the front wheels on the ground:
make sure the transmission is full of fluid (see pages 68 — 69) and
tow with the transmission in neutral (N) and the ignition key in the I
position.
CAUTION:
To avoid serious damage on automatic transmission cars, first
start the engine and shift to D
4
(D on 4WD) then to N and shut the
engine off. If the engine does not run or the transmission cannot
be shifted while the engine is running, the car must be transported
on flat bed equipment.
Check local regulations for towing.
CAUTION:
Do not exceed 35 mph (55 km/h) or tow for distances of more
than 50 miles (80 km).
If a sling type tow is used, the tow truck driver should position
wood spacer blocks between your car's frame and the chains
and lift straps to avoid damaging the bumper and the body.
Do not use the bumpers to lift the car or to support the car's
weight while towing.
(4WD) Before towing the car with either the front or rear
wheels raised off the ground, place the transmission in neutral
and manually disengage the 4WD system to prevent the raised
wheels from turning (see page 56).
