Driving in Bad Weather, Towing a Trailer
Be very cautious when passing, or
being passed by other vehicles. The
spray from large vehicles reduces
your visibility, and the wind
buffeting can cause you to lose
control.
Towing a Trailer
Your Honda is designed primarily
to carry passengers and their cargo.
You can use it to tow a trailer if
you carefully observe some general
rules.
The total weight of the trailer
and everything loaded in it must
not exceed 450 kg (1,000 Ibs).
The "tongue load" should never
exceed 50 k
g (110 Ibs). This is the
amount of weight the trailer puts
on the hitch when it is fully-
loaded. As a rule of thumb, the
tongue load should be 10% of the
total trailer package.
For example, if the trailer and its
load weigh 225 kg (500 Ibs), the
tongue load should be 22.5 kg (50
Ibs). Adjust the the trailer's cargo
to change the tongue load. Start
by putting approximately 60% of
the cargo toward the front and
40% toward the rear. Never load
the trailer so the back is heavier
than the front. This takes weight
off your car's rear axle and
reduces traction.
