abnormal, have the vehicle inspected by a dealer.

uuTowing a TraileruTowing Preparation
Driving
Your trailer lighting connector is located
under the right side tool case in the cargo
area. Each pin’s purpose and wiring color
code are shown in the image.
When using a non-Acura trailer lighting
harness and converter, get the connector and
pins for your vehicle from a dealer.
■Additional towing equipment
Many states and provinces/territories require special outside mirrors when towing a
trailer. Even if mirrors are not required in your locale, you should install special
mirrors if visibility is restricted in any way.
