Contact the Dealer Principal or General Manager of the dealership. Then, if necessary; 3. Contact Acura Client Services using the information below.
With A Little Care, Your Acura Investment Will Pay Even Greater Dividends. A GOOD WASHING DOES MORE GOOD THAN YOU’D THINK. You should wash your vehicle at regular intervals, and at least once a week under adverse conditions. When washing, be sure that your Acura is in the shade and the paint surface is cool. Begin by softening up the dirt on the underside of the body and radiator area with a jet of water. Then rinse the entire body until the dirt is loosened up.
CARE strips adjoining all windows to ensure that they are diverting water from entering the body panels. Hot water is not recommended, especially in freezing conditions as it may cause painted surfaces to crack. Also, in freezing conditions, do not wash your vehicle unless you can dry it completely. Door locks and rubber seals are particularly sensitive to damage caused by freezing. During the winter months it is important to clean your Acura’s underside with either high pressure water or steam.
With a Little Care, Your Acura Investment Will Pay Even Greater Dividends Should your Acura sustain more serious body damage, you should have it restored to original condition by your Acura dealer or a qualified auto body shop. If you choose the latter, make certain that all replaced or repaired parts have been protected against corrosion. Also, to maintain your Rust Perforation and Surface Corrosion warranties, ensure that only genuine Acura parts or Acura-approved parts are used as replacements.
CARE ALLOY WHEELS FABRICS Clean your Acura's aluminum alloy wheels as you do the rest of the exterior. Only use a mild, non-antibacterial detergent and soft brush or sponge to clean the wheels, and rinse them thoroughly. The wheels have a protective clear-coat that keeps the aluminum from corroding and tarnishing. Using harsh chemicals, including some commercial wheel cleaners, or stiff brushes can damage this clear-coat. Vacuum dirt and dust out of the material frequently.
The Parts And Service Your Acura Started With Are The Best To Stay With. are you’ll also realize some substantial savings. Then there’s the established fact that people who maintain their Acura to original equipment standards can expect fewer mechanical problems plus more value for their Acura at trade-in time. This may make you feel uncomfortably like a captive audience, but we simply can’t guarantee the quality of another manufacturer’s parts or the calibre of someone else’s service.
Preventive Maintenance. The Little Things You Do Can Add Up To A Lot. RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 2. THE FIRST STEP IN PROTECTING YOUR FINISH. Some parts of your new Acura will require servicing and replacement more regularly than others. Keeping your Acura’s maintenance on schedule also helps keep your warranties valid. Twice a year you should give your Acura a good waxing. This will help protect the finish. Always wax your Acura in the shade when the paint surface is cool.
5. A DIRTY AIR FILTER COSTS PERFORMANCE. Your Acura’s engine needs a good supply of air for efficient fuel combustion. Over time, its air filter can become clogged, reducing performance and fuel economy. Ask your Acura dealer to inspect and replace this filter according to your maintenance schedule, especially if you do most of your driving on dusty roads. Windshield wipers wear out through use and damage from the sun’s ultra-violet rays.
A Good Wash Up Keeps Rust Down. MAINTENANCE Eliminate build-ups of dirt and salt from your Acura’s underbody, and you’ll be doing a lot to help eliminate rust. Here are the prime locations that need a good hosing out from time to time. 1. The area above the subframe may be washed out through access under the hood and from under the vehicle. 2. Wash the inside of the front and rear wheelhousings to prevent dirt and salt build-up. 3. Dirt and salt tend to build up on the control arm pivot mounts.

Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 2 Inflate. Rotate. Evaluate. Check your tire pressure monthly. Rotate your tires as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer or every 5,000 miles. Routinely look for signs of tread wear or damage. TIRE CARE BASICS Quick Reference Guide to Maintenance for All Tires, Including the Spare.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 3 TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE Tires can lose 1 psi (pound per square inch) per month under normal conditions. Additionally, tires can lose 1 psi for every 10° F temperature drop. Just a look won’t do it. One of these tires is actually 10 psi under-inflated. Your eyes can deceive you, so rely on a good tire gauge for an accurate reading.
Bridgestone8 3/19/08 2:06 AM Page 4 Look for the manufacturer’s recommended tire pressure listed on the sticker usually located on the driver’s-side door edge or door jamb area. Example: This chart shows you how underinflation can create an overload on tires. Check your tire pressure every month to make sure it’s up to specification, especially before long trips or carrying extra weight. Lower pressure increases heat. Infrared photography of tires tested at high speed.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 5 AIR PRESSURE—MONTHLY CHECK For accuracy, check your inflation pressure with a tire gauge when tires are cold. Driving heats up tires and makes the reading incorrect. a) Remove tire valve cap. b) Place the end of the tire gauge over valve. c) Press the tire gauge straight and firmly until the scale extends. d) If needed, increase pressure and recheck with the tire gauge. e) Replace valve cap.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 6 TIRE ROTATION For maximum mileage, rotate your tires according to the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations (consult your vehicle owner’s manual), or if not provided, rotate every 5,000 miles using a rotation pattern such as below (see “Radial Tire Rotation” in this manual). TIRE WEAR—VISUAL CHECK Check for obvious signs of wear.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 7 TIRE MAINTENANCE and SAFETY INFORMATION Any tire, no matter how well constructed, may fail in use as a result of punctures, impact damage, improper inflation, overloading, or other conditions resulting from use or misuse. Tire failure may create a risk of property damage, serious personal injury or death. SAFETY WARNING Serious personal injury or death may result from a tire failure. Many tire failures are preceded by vibration, bumps, bulges or irregular wear.
Bridgestone8 3/19/08 2:06 AM Page 8 SAFETY WARNING Driving on tires with improper inflation pressure is dangerous. • Under-inflation causes excessive tire heat build-up and internal structural damage. • Over-inflation makes it more likely for tires to be cut, punctured, or broken by sudden impact. These situations can cause a tire failure, even at a later date, which could lead to serious personal injury or death.
Bridgestone8 3/19/08 2:06 AM Page 9 Figure 2: EXAMPLE—Tire Information Placard Maximum Pressure Indicated on the Tire Sidewall: This is the maximum permissible inflation pressure for the tire only. The vehicle manufacturer’s recommended tire pressures may be lower than, or the same as, the maximum pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
Bridgestone7 • • • • 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 10 hours or more, or if the vehicle has been driven less than a mile at moderate speed. Never release pressure from a hot tire in order to reach the recommended cold tire pressure. Normal driving causes tires to run hotter and inflation pressure to increase. If you reduce inflation pressure when your tires are hot, you may dangerously underinflate your tires.
Bridgestone8 6/28/07 12:45 PM Page 11 SAFETY WARNING Driving on damaged tires is dangerous. A damaged tire can suddenly fail causing serious personal injury or death. Have your tires regularly inspected by a qualified tire service professional.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 12 The vehicle manufacturer may consider vehicle performance characteristics when making tire replacement recommendations. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual for any information regarding tire service life and replacement and follow the recommendations applicable to your vehicle.
Bridgestone8 6/28/07 12:45 PM Page 13 ✓ The tire is demounted from the wheel for a complete ■ inspection, inside and out. Some damage to the tire may only be evident on the interior of the tire. ✓ The puncture injury is 1/4 inch (6 mm) or less and must ■ be within the tread area as shown in the graphic. This helps ensure long-term tire and repair durability. ✓ A patch is applied to the ■ interior of the tire and the puncture hole is filled with a suitable plug/stem filler.
Bridgestone8 7/5/07 5:08 PM Page 14 ASK how your tire will be repaired. ALWAYS insist on a proper tire repair. Emergency/Temporary Sealant or Filler Repairs: An emergency/temporary sealant or filler injected into the tire, such as by aerosol can or injection/squeeze-tube, is not a proper repair and voids the tire Limited Warranty. A tire injected with such sealant/filler must be replaced by a qualified tire service professional as soon as possible.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 15 • Tires must match the width and diameter requirements of the wheels. For example, 16 inch diameter tires must only be mounted to 16 inch diameter wheels. Radial tires must only be mounted to wheels approved for radial tires. • Wheels must be free of cracks, dents, chips, and rust. Tires must be free of bead damage, cuts, and punctures. • Never inflate a tire beyond 40 psi (275 kPa) to seat the beads.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 16 WINTER TIRES SAFETY WARNING Winter driving presents special challenges for vehicle mobility. The use of winter tires (including studs and chains)—while improving traction performance in snow and ice—requires special care with regard to acceleration, braking, cornering, and speed. It is important to drive with care, not only on snow and ice, but on dry and wet roads as well.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 17 • Regardless of the speed and handling capabilities of your car and its tires, a loss of vehicle control can result from exceeding the maximum speed allowed by law or warranted by traffic, weather, vehicle, or road conditions. • High-speed driving should be left to trained professionals operating under controlled conditions.

For vehicles with a “temporary use” spare tire, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended pattern for rotation, or, if not provided, the following may be used: If your spare is the same size, load rating, and type of tire as your road tires, it should be included in the tire rotation process.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 20 SAFETY WARNING Check inflation pressure before use. Failure to have proper inflation pressure when using your spare tire can result in serious personal injury or death. See "Tire Inflation Pressure" in this manual. SAFETY WARNING Mounting a “temporary use” tire on a wheel which is not specifically designed for it, or placing another type tire on a wheel designated for temporary use can be dangerous. Your vehicle’s handling characteristics can be seriously affected.

Bridgestone8 3/19/08 2:06 AM Page 22 RFT TIRES with RUN-FLAT TECHNOLOGY If your vehicle is equipped with Bridgestone or Firestone brand RFT tires, this chapter presents specific maintenance and safety issues associated with these tires that are in addition to those covered elsewhere in this manual. What is RFT? Run-Flat Technology tires are extraordinary tires that utilize specially designed components to temporarily support your vehicle in the event of inflation pressure loss, such as from a puncture.
Bridgestone8 7/6/07 12:18 PM Page 23 new pressure sensor, certain components, or reprogramming may be necessary when a tire is serviced. Consult your vehicle owner’s manual, vehicle manufacturer, or a Bridgestone Firestone Run-Flat Certified Retailer for questions regarding TPMS operation and service. RUN-FLAT or LOW TIRE PRESSURE OPERATION SAFETY WARNING Serious personal injury or death may result from a tire failure or accident due to improper run-flat or low tire pressure operation.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 24 DISTANCE—HOW FAR YOU CAN DRIVE Factors affecting run-flat or low tire pressure operating distance include vehicle speed, load, and maneuvering; the amount of inflation pressure loss; the extent of any tire damage; and ambient temperature. The tire may be marked on the sidewall with run-flat or low tire pressure operating speed and/or distance limitations, which vary by tire design and vehicle application (consult your vehicle owner’s manual).
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 25 Rotation Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations, or rotate every 5,000 miles per the recommendations in this manual (see “Radial Tire Rotation”). In some cases, TPMS devices require reprogramming with each tire rotation. RFT Tire Replacement Do not replace or mix RFT tires with conventional tires, unless on an emergency/temporary basis.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 26 REFERENCE INFORMATION TIRE SIDEWALL LABELING A lot can be learned by reading the tire’s sidewall.
Bridgestone7 3/14/07 1:59 PM Page 27 DOT Symbol and Tire Identification Number: The “DOT” symbol constitutes a certification that the tire conforms to applicable U.S. Department of Transportation motor vehicle safety standards (for tires).

SAFETY WARNING DISREGARDING ANY OF THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL MAY RESULT IN TIRE FAILURE OR EXPLOSION CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
TIRE DISABLEMENT SAFETY WARNING DRIVING ON ANY TIRE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE CORRECT INFLATION PRESSURE IS DANGEROUS Any tire may fail as a result of an improperly repaired puncture, impact damage, improper inflation, overloading or other conditions resulting from use or misuse. Tire failures, such as a rapid air loss or a tread and belt detachment, may increase risk of injury or death and/or property damage.
other sharp maneuvers will greatly reduce the length of time the tire can perform at low or zero air pressure.) Continuous use of an underinflated tire may lead to sudden tire destruction. If a tire at low or zero pressure begins to vibrate or cause difficulty in vehicle handling, remove the tire immediately and replace with the temporary spare.
Pressures should be checked when tires are cold, in other words, before they have been driven on. Driving, even for a short distance, causes tires to heat up and air pressure to increase. FOR SELF-SUPPORTING ZERO PRESSURE (ZP) TIRES CHECK INFLATION PRESSURES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOLLOWING A LOW PRESSURE WARNING Low pressure warning systems are designed to alert the driver to a low air pressure situation in at least one tire on the vehicle.
If you are unable to see any damage to the tire, and the tire pressure is more than 18 PSI, reinflate your tire to the proper air pressure. (See instructions for checking pressures when tires are hot.) When tires have cooled, check air pressure again. If any tire has lost more than 5 PSI from the previous pressure check, have the tire inspected at once by a participating Michelin® tire retailer (or representative of your vehicle manufacturer if your vehicle owner’s manual so advises.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING CAN BE DANGEROUS Correct inflation pressure is especially important. However, at high speeds, even with the correct inflation pressure, a road hazard, for example is more difficult to avoid and if contact is made, has a greater chance of causing tire damage than at a lower speed. Moreover, driving at high speed reduces the reaction time available to avoid accidents and bring your vehicle to a safe stop.
SPEED RATINGS Speed Symbols are shown on the sidewall of some Michelin® tires. The following table shows the maximum speed corresponding to the symbol. *Some V (or VR) rated tires may have a speed capacity greater than 149 mph (240 km/h). Consult your participating Michelin® tire retailer for maximum speed rating if your vehicle capability exceeds this speed. **Z (or ZR) rated tires are designed to use on cars with maximum speed capabilities in excess of 149 mph (240 km/h).
SPEED RATINGS (CONT’D) If you suspect any damage to your tire or wheel from an impact with a curb, pothole, debris on the road or any other road hazard, or if you feel or hear any unusual vibration, replace with a properly inflated spare at once and immediately visit any qualified tire technician. WINTER TIRES Michelin® winter tires that do not have a speed symbol on the sidewall or tires with Q symbols have a speed rating of 100 mph (160 km/h).
WEAR BARS Self-Supporting Zero Pressure (ZP) Tires and Trailer Towing Operation of ZP tires at low or zero air pressure with a trailer in tow, is dangerous and is not recommended. If the low pressure warning indicator is activated when a trailer is in tow, stop, disconnect the trailer, and do not continue to tow the trailer until the tire has been repaired and re-inflated to the proper air pressure.
TIRE MIXING sidewall with the letter “M” and “S” plus a pictograph of a mountain with a snowflake on it. Michelin® tires are radial tires and for best performance it is recommended that the same size and type of tire be used on all four wheel positions. Before mixing tires of different types in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle manufacturer’s Owner‘s Manual for its recommendations.
Some vehicles may have different sized tires mounted on the front and rear axles, and these different sized tires have rotation restrictions. Always check the vehicle owner’s manual for the proper rotation recommendations. the likelihood of vehicle rollover. Whether your SUV/truck has the original equipment configuration for tires, wheels and suspension or whether any of these items have been modified, always drive safely, avoid sudden, sharp turns or lane changes and obey all traffic laws.
object or by running underinflated. Tire punctures consistent with these guidelines can be repaired by following the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) recommended repair procedures. for one month or more, eliminate the weight from the tires by raising the vehicle or by removing the tires from the vehicle. Failure to store tires in accordance with these instructions could result in damage to your tires or premature aging of the tires and sudden tire failure.
Old valves may leak. When new tubeless tires are mounted, have new valves of the correct type installed. Tubeless tires must only be mounted on wheels designed for tubeless tires i.e., wheels which have safety humps or ledges. when mounted on special SH-M wheels. These tires bear the SH-M designation immediately following the ZP designation on the sidewall of the tire. DO NOT MOUNT ZP TIRES WITH THE SH-M DESIGNATION ON STANDARD WHEELS.
READING THE DOT SERVICE LIFE FOR PASSENGER CAR AND LIGHT TRUCK TIRES INCLUDING SPARE TIRES DOT XXXX XXXX XXX (prior to August 2000) DOT XXXX XXXX XXXM (1990-1999) DOT XXXX XXXX XXXX (after July 2000) The following recommendation applies to passenger car and light truck tires. Tires are composed of various types of material and rubber compounds, having performance properties essential to the proper functioning of the tire itself. These component properties evolve over time.
It is impossible to predict when tires should be replaced based on their calendar age alone. However the older a tire the greater the chance that it will need to be replaced due to the service-related evolution or other conditions found upon inspection or detected during use.

DÉFAILLANCE DE PNEU AVERTISSEMENT Tout pneu peut être rendu inutilisable à cause d’une réparation incorrecte, d’un impact, d’un gonflage incorrect, d’une surcharge ou pour toute autre raison résultant de son utilisation ou d’une utilisation incorrecte. Les défaillances des pneus telles que la perte rapide d’air ou le détachement de la bande de roulement et des ceintures peuvent augmenter les risques de blessures, de mort et/ou de dommages à la propriété.
l'accotement et immobilisez le véhicule. Inspectez les pneus. Si un pneu est à plat ou semble mou, présente un détachement ou un autre dommage, enlevez la roue et montez la roue de secours correctement gonflée. Des bosses ou des renflements peuvent indiquer qu’il y a détachement interne de la carcasse et requièrent une inspection par un technicien qualifié. mêmes qu'un véhicule ayant des pneus correctement gonflés.
REMARQUE: Certains pneus autoporteurs Zéro Pression (ZP) de MICHELINMD ne peuvent être montés que sur des roues spéciales SH-M (Symmetric Hump Modified). Ces pneus portent la mention spéciale SH-M, moulée sur leur flanc à côté de la mention ZP. NE MONTEZ PAS UN PNEU PORTANT LA MENTION SH-M SUR UNE ROUE STANDARD. CELA INVALIDERAIT LA GARANTIE LIMITÉE ET POURRAIT RENDRE LE PNEU INUTILISABLE À PRESSION BASSE OU NULLE ET PROVOQUER DES BLESSURES GRAVES, VOIRE LA MORT.
Vérifiez de nouveau la pression à froid dans les 24 heures suivantes. Ne dégonflez jamais un pneu chaud, car il devient sous-gonflé. Utilisez un manomètre précis pour mesurer les pressions. Ne jamais laisser un enfant gonfler des pneus. démonter et inspecter le pneu. Si vous ne voyez aucun dommage au pneu et que sa pression est de plus de 18 psi, regonfler le pneu à sa pression recommandée (voir les instructions pour vérifier la pression lorsque les pneus sont chauds).
disponible dans le manuel du propriétaire du véhicule et assez souvent sur une plaquette apposée au montant de la portière, à l’intérieur de la trappe à essence ou du coffre à gants. Si les pneus sont surdimensionnés et requièrent une pression de gonflage plus élevée, votre système de surveillance de la pression des pneus devra être recalibré à la nouvelle pression de gonflage. Veuillez consulter votre revendeur ou installateur de pneus pour la pression de gonflage correcte des pneus surdimensionnés.
INDICES DE VITESSE Des indices de vitesse sont marqués aux flancs de certains pneus Michelin. Le tableau cicontre indique la vitesse maximale qui correspond à l'indice. réparés ou rechapés. D'autre part, ces indices de vitesse ne sousentendent pas que les véhicules peuvent rouler en toute sécurité à la vitesse maximale correspondant à l'indice du pneu, en particulier si les conditions routières et les conditions climatiques sont difficiles ou si les caractéristiques du véhicule sont inhabituelles.
correctement gonflée et rendez-vous immédiatement chez un technicien de pneu qualifié. PNEUS D'HIVER - La vitesse maximale des pneus d'hiver Michelin ne comportant pas d'indice de vitesse au flanc ou ayant un indice de vitesse Q est de 160 km/h. La vitesse maximale des pneus d'hiver ayant un indice de vitesse est limitée à celle-là. INSPECTION Quand vous examinez vos pneus, y compris le pneu de secours, vérifiez les pressions de gonflage.
LES TÉMOINS D'USURE pneus et les pressions dépendront du type et de la taille du véhicule à tracter ainsi que du système d'attache ; mais, en aucun cas, ni la pression maximale à froid, ni la limite de charge de chaque pneu ne devront être dépassées. Pour plus de renseignements à ce sujet, consultez le manuel du propriétaire, fourni par le constructeur de votre véhicule, ainsi que l'étiquette d'information des pneus.
cela peut être causé par un déréglage du parallélisme ou de l'équilibrage des roues. Or, en plus de diminuer le rendement kilométrique de vos pneus, ces phénomènes affectent la tenue de route de votre véhicule, ce qui pourrait s'avérer dangereux. Si vous constatez une usure irrégulière ou une vibration, faites immédiatement vérifier le parallélisme ou l'équilibrage des roues. Les pneus qui ont roulé en sous-gonflage sont plus usés aux épaulements qu'au centre de la bande de roulement.
Certains systèmes de surveillance de la pression des pneus (TPMS) peuvent ne pas reconnaître qu’un pneu a été installé à une position différente sur votre véhicule. Assurez-vous que votre système TPMS est réinitialisé, le cas échéant, pour pouvoir identifier correctement l’emplacement de chacun des pneus sur votre véhicule. Consultez votre manuel du propriétaire du véhicule ou votre détaillant automobile. montés à l'arrière.

ENTREPOSAGE RÉPARATIONS - SI POSSIBLE, VOYEZ UN DÉTAILLANT MICHELINMD IMMÉDIATEMENT Les pneus contiennent des cires et émollients qui protègent la surface extérieure contre l'ozone et les craquelures. Au fur et à mesure que le pneu roule et fléchit, les cires et émollients migrent continuellement à la surface pour en assurer la protection pendant la vie du pneu.
SUIVEZ LES INSTRUCTIONS DE MONTAGE pneus/roues mal équilibrés peuvent causer des vibrations et des plaques d'usure sur vos pneus, en plus de produire une conduite inconfortable. Le montage et le démontage des pneus comportent des dangers et doivent être effectués par du personnel spécialement formé et bien outillé tel que spécifié par l'association des manufacturiers du caoutchouc (RMA). Assurez-vous de placer un bouchon de valve adéquat sur toutes les valves.
