Driving
Driving Safely with a Trailer
• Have the trailer properly serviced and keep it in good condition.
• Make sure that all the weights and load in the vehicle and trailer are within limits.
2Towing Load Limits P. 407
•Securely attach the hitch, safety chains, and other necessary parts to the trailer.
• Securely store all the items in and on the tr ailer so that they do not shift while
driving.
• Check if the lights and brakes on the trailer are working properly.
• Check the pressure of the traile r tires, including the spare.
• Turn off the Low Speed Braking Control syst em. It may activate if it detects the
vehicle being towed as an obstacle.
2 System On and Off P. 467
•Turn off the rear parking sensor system.
2 Turning off All Rear Sensors P. 524
•Drive slower than normal.
• Obey posted speed limits for vehicles with trailers.
• Use the
(D position when towing a trailer on level roads.
• Turn more slowly and with a wider turning arc than normal.
• Allow more time and distance for braking.
• Do not brake or turn suddenly.
■Things You Need To Know Before Towing a Trailer
■Towing Speeds and Gears
■Turning and Braking
2.0 L engine models
1Driving Safely with a Trailer
Operating speed when towing a trailer must not
exceed 62 mph (100 km/h).
Parking
In addition to the normal precautions, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer’s tires.
Models with Low Speed Braking Control
1Towing Speeds and Gears
When towing a fixed-sided trailer (e.g., camper), do
not exceed 55 mph (88 km/h). At higher speeds, the
trailer may sway or af fect vehicle handling.

uuHonda Sensing ®u Low Speed Braking Control*
466
Driving
The Low Speed Braking Control provides a visual and audible alert when the vehicle
is moving between approximately 1 and 6 mph (2 and 10 km/h) and there is the
possibility of a collision with a detected wall or other obstacle, as well as providing
assistance with braking.
If the only rear sensors are turned off using the parking sensor system, the assistive
braking is not working when reversing.

■How the System Works1Low Speed Braking Control*
For directions on the prop er handling of the sonar
sensors, please refer to the following page.

* P. 507
The vehicle will release the brake and start moving a
few seconds after the system is activated. To keep the
vehicle stopped, keep the brake pedal depressed or
put the transmission into
( P.
In order to prevent the sy stem from activating when
not needed, always turn it off during vehicle
maintenance, when loading on ships, trucks, and so
on, when using a chassis dy namometer or free rollers
for inspection or when pu tting your vehicle through a
conveyor type car wash.
Do not make any modificati ons to the suspension or
the system may not operate correctly.
Always use the size and ty pe of tires recommended,
make, and amount of wear. If these differ, the system
may not operate correctly.

■Location and range of sensors
The sonar sensors are situated in the front and rear bumpers.1Sonar Sensors*
For the sonar sensors to work properly, do not:•Place stickers or other objects on or around the
sensors.
•Hit the area around the sensors.•Attempt to take apart any sensor.
•Put any accessories on or around the sensors.
Consult with a dealer if:
•A sensor has been subjected to shock.
•Work needs to be done to the area around a
sensor.
In the following cases, the sonar sensors may not
work properly. Have your ve hicle checked by a dealer.
•The front or rear bumper has made contact with a

Parking Sensor System*
The corner and center sensors monitor obstacles around your vehicle, and the
beeper, driver information interface and audio/informatio n screen let you know the
approximate distance between your vehicle and the obstacle.
■The sensor location and range
1 Parking Sensor System*
Even when the system is on, always confirm if there is
no obstacle near your ve hicle before parking.
The system may not work properly when:
•The sensors are covered with snow, ice, mud, or
dirt.
•The vehicle is on uneven su rface, such as grass,
bumps, or a hill.
•The vehicle has been out in hot or cold weather.•The system is affected by devices that emit
ultrasonic waves.
•Driving in bad weather.
The system may not sense:
•Thin or low objects.•Sonic-absorptive materials, such as snow, cotton,
or sponge.
•Objects directly under the bumper.
Do not put any accessories on or around the sensors.Within about 24 in (60 cm) or less
