Per Honda Customer Service:

If the vehicle is a manual transmission (stick shift) simply leave the gear shift in neutral and the steering wheel un-locked (so that the front wheels can follow the motorhome through curves and around corners).

If it is an automatic transmission the factory approved method is as follows: Start and warm up the vehicle. Run the transmission lever through all the gears pausing a moment in each one. Return the lever to the "N" (neutral) position and shut the engine off, but leaving the steering wheel un-locked. It is then ready to be towed. Repeat this procedure once every 500 miles (or once daily if you drive less than 500). This method leaves enough Transmission Fluid in the body of the transmission to keep the gears, pumps, and seals lubricated while being towed.

CAUTION: When leaving the ignition switch in the ACC (accessory) postiion, so that the steering wheel is unlocked during towing, make sure that ALL interior electrical devices are turned off (e.g.: radio - lights - interior fan - etc).
