Trailer light
Trailer lights and equipment must comply with federal, state, province/territory, and
local regulations. Check with your local trailer sales or rental agency for the
requirements in the area where you plan to tow.
Pins' wiring color codes and their purposes:
+B Trailer Charge
Right Turn Signal
+B Trailer Hazard Light
Stop Light
+B Trailer Small
We recommend that you have a dealer install a Acura wiring harness and converter.
They are designed for your vehicle.
■
Hitches
Read the trailer manufacturer's instructions, and select the appropriate draw bar for
the height of the trailer you will be towing.
■
Weight distribution hitches
Your vehicle is designed to tow without the need for a load distributing hitch. If you
wish to use one, please consult your trailer maker for proper installation and set-up.
Improper set-up could degrade the handling, stability, and braking performance of
your vehicle.
