Trailer lights and equipment must

comply with federal, state, province,

and local regulations. Check trailer

light requirements for the areas

where you plan to tow, and use only

equipment designed for your vehicle.

If you use a non-Acura trailer

lighting harness and converter, you

can get the mating connector and

pins that mate with the connector in

your vehicle from your dealer.

Since lighting and wiring vary with

trailer type and brand, you should

also have a qualified mechanic install

a suitable connector between the

vehicle and the trailer.

Your vehicle is equipped with a

connector to install an optional trailer

lighting connector that mates with

your vehicle. You can get this

optional connector from your dealer.

Refer to the above illustration for

wiring information.

We recommend that you have your

dealer install an Acura wiring

harness and converter. This harness

has been designed for your vehicle.
