Storage Note • Some PILOT features (Steering Assist, Active Lane Change, etc.) as well as kick sensors, easy entry, and ultrasonic sensors may not be available in the Trailer Mode. • Please connect your vehicle to a trailer under the normal ride height. If you enter the Trailer Mode under an abnormal ride height, the ride height will be automatically adjusted to normal. Instructions for Towing Your vehicle is mainly designed as a passenger vehicle. Towing a trailer puts an additional load on the vehicle's motor, transmission, brakes, tires and suspension and significantly reduces its range. If you decide to tow a trailer, please drive carefully and follow the following guidelines:
• Reduce your driving speed and avoid sudden maneuvers. When a trailer is towed, the steering, stability, turning radius, stopping distance and braking performance are different from those without a trailer. • Keep at least twice the distance from the vehicle in front of you as when you are not pulling a trailer. This helps to avoid situations requiring emergency braking. Sudden braking may cause skidding or bottoming out and loss of control. • Avoid sharp turns, which may cause the trailer to contact the vehicle and cause damage.
Since the wheels of the trailer are closer to the inside of the turn than the wheels of the vehicle, the turn radius must be larger to prevent the trailer from hitting the curb, road signs, trees or other objects. • Check the trailer light and turn signal lights regularly to verify that they continue to work properly. • Verify regularly that any items inside the vehicle are safe. • Verify regularly that the trailer brake works properly. • Avoid parking on a slope. • Verify regularly that all towing parts have been firmly tightened. • When a trailer is hitched, the LED tail light of the trailer may flash very slightly, which is normal.
• People are not allowed to ride in the trailer during towing. • Place weight in the trailer near the axle as much as possible to reduce interference to the train set when swinging. 106
