Towing a Trailer
Trailer Brakes
Honda recommends that any trailer
having a total weight of 1,000 lbs
(450 kg) or more be equipped with
its own electric or surge-type brakes.
If you choose electric brakes, be
sure they are electronically actuated.
Do not attempt to tap into your
vehicle's hydraulic system. No
matter how successful it may seem,
any attempt to attach trailer brakes
to your vehicle's hydraulic system
will lower braking effectiveness and
create a potential hazard.

Your car has a trailer lighting
connector located in the trunk by the
left taillight. Refer to the drawing
above for the wiring color code and
purpose of each pin.
If you use a converter, you can get
the connector and pins that mate
with the connector in your car from
your Honda dealer.

Since lighting and wiring vary in
trailer type and brand, you should
also have a qualified mechanic install
a suitable connector between the
vehicle and the trailer.
