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.
Driving
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 kg (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 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.
