Many states and provinces require
special exterior 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.
When towing a trailer, we
recommend that you carry a full-size
spare wheel and tire for your vehicle.
Using the compact spare that came
with the MDX may adversely affect
vehicle handling.
We also recommend that you carry a
full-size spare wheel and tire for your
trailer. Ask your trailer sales or
rental agency where and how to
store the spare.
See page for proper tire size,
page for how to store a full-sized
wheel and tire, and page for
information on changing a flat tire.
Remember to unhitch the trailer
before changing a flat.
When preparing to tow, and before
driving away, be sure to check the
following:
The vehicle has been properly
serviced, and the brakes,
suspension, and cooling system
are in good operating condition. If
you tow frequently, follow the
Severe Conditions maintenance
schedule.
The lights and brakes on your
vehicle and the trailer are working
properly.
Your vehicle tires and spare are in
good condition and properly
inflated (see page ).
The trailer tires and spare are in
good condition and inflated as
recommended by the trailer
maker.
