Acura 2010 TSX - Manual (Page 400)

Many states and Canadian
provinces/territories require special
outside mirrors when towing a trailer.
Even if they don’t, you should install
special mirrors if you cannot clearly
see behind you, or if the trailer
creates a blind spot. Trailer lights and equipment must
comply with federal, state, province,
territory, and local regulations.
Check with your local trailer sales or
rental agencies for the requirements
in the area where you plan to tow,
and use only equipment designed for
your vehicle.
Since lighting and wiring vary by
trailer type and brand, you should
have a qualified technician install a
suitable connector between the
vehicle and the trailer. Improper
equipment or installation can cause
damage to your vehicle’s electrical
system and affect your vehicle
warranty.
When preparing to tow, and before
driving away, be sure to check the
following:
The trailer has been properly
serviced and is in good condition.
The hitch, safety chains, and any
other attachments are secure.
All items in or on the trailer are
properly secured and cannot shift
while you drive.
All weights and loads are within
limits.
The vehicle has been properly
serviced, and the suspension and
the cooling system are in good
operating condition.
Ask your trailer sales or rental
agency if any other items are
recommended or required for your
towing situation.
