Honda Accord: Driving Safely with a Trailer
• Things You Need To Know Before Towing 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.
• Securely attach the hitch, safety chains, and other necessary parts to the
trailer.
• Securely store all the items in and on the trailer so that they do not shift
while
driving.
• Check if the lights and brakes on the trailer are working properly.
• Check the pressures of the trailer tires, including the spare.
Parking
In addition to the normal precautions, place wheel chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
• Towing Speeds and Gears
• Drive slower than normal.
• Obey posted speed limits for vehicles with trailers.
• Use the position when towing a trailer on level roads.
• Turning and Braking
• Turn more slowly and with a wider turning arc than normal.
• Allow more time and distance for braking.
• Do not brake or turn suddenly.
• Driving in Hilly Terrain

transmission shifts frequently.
