Spare Tires; Trailer Lights - Honda 2012 Pilot Owner's Manual

Towing a Trailer

Spare Tires

When towing a trailer, we
recommend that you carry a full-size
spare wheel and tire for your vehicle
and trailer. When replacing the
compact spare with a full size spare,
remove the plastic spacer (see page
604 ). Store the plastic spacer and
compact spare together. Reinstall
the spacer before once again stowing
the compact spare.
See page 605 for proper tire size,
page 619 for how to store a full size
wheel and tire, and page
information on changing a flat tire.
Remember to unhitch the trailer
before changing a flat. Ask your
trailer sales or rental agency where
and how to store the trailer's spare
tire.
