Towing a trailer – Acura 2010 TSX User Manual
Page 401
The lights and brakes on your
vehicle and the trailer are working
properly.
Your vehicle tires and spare are
properly inflated, and the trailer
tires and spare are inflated as
recommended by the trailer
maker.
The added weight, length, and
height of a trailer will affect your
vehicle’s handling and performance,
so driving with a trailer requires
some special driving skills and
techniques.
For your safety and the safety of
others, take time to practice driving
maneuvers before heading for the
open road, and follow the guidelines
in this section.
Drive slower than normal in all
driving situations, and obey posted
speed limits for vehicles with trailers.
Do not exceed the limited speed
when towing a trailer. At higher
speeds, the trailer may sway or
affect vehicle handling (see ‘‘
’’ in the next page for
additional gear information).
If your vehicle has an automatic
transmission, use the D position
when towing a trailer on level roads.
