Your vehicle has a trailer lighting

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

suitable connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper

you must not change a flat tire, or
use a compact spare tire on your
vehicle.

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.
