０７／０７／０９ ０９：２０：５２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０００４ A Few Words About Safety Your safety, and the safety of others, is very important. And operating this vehicle safely is an important responsibility. To help you make informed decisions about safety, we have provided operating procedures and other information on labels and in this manual. This information alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２０：５７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０００５ Important Handling Information Your MDX has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle designed for use only on pavement. Higher ground clearance has many advantages for off-highway driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and rough terrain. It also provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier. These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and rides higher off the ground, it has a high center of gravity.

０７／０７／０９ ０９：２１：５６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１１ Important Safety Precautions You’ll find many safety recommendations throughout this section, and throughout this manual. The recommendations on this page are the ones we consider to be the most important. Always Wear Your Seat Belt A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to supplement seat belts, not replace them.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２２：０３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１２ Your Vehicle sSafety Features (3) (1) (4) Some features do not require any action on your part. These include a strong steel framework that forms a safety cage around the passenger compartment, front and rear crush zones, a collapsible steering column, and tensioners that tighten the front seat belts in a crash.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２２：１５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１３ Your Vehicle sSafety Features Seat Belts Your vehicle is equipped with seat belts in all seating positions. Your seat belt system also includes an indicator on the instrument panel and a beeper to remind you and your passengers to fasten your seat belts. Why Wear Seat Belts Seat belts are the single most effective safety device for adults and larger children. (Infants and smaller children must be properly restrained in child seats.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２２：２２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１４ Your Vehicle sSafety Features Airbags Your vehicle also has side airbags to help protect the upper torso of the driver or a front seat passenger during a moderate to severe side impact (see page 30 for more information on how your side airbags work).
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２２：２９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１５ Your Vehicle sSafety Features The most important things you need to know about your airbags are: Airbags do not replace seat belts. They are designed to supplement the seat belts. Airbags offer no protection in rear impacts, or minor frontal or side collisions. Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２２：３７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１６ Protecting Adults and Teens Your vehicle has a door and tailgate monitor on the multi-information display to indicate when a specific door or the tailgate is not tightly closed. You will see the appropriate indicator and the message for each condition. See pages 37 − 41 for important guidelines on how to properly protect infants, small children, and larger children who ride in your vehicle.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２２：４４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１７ Protecting Adults and Teens Locking the doors reduces the chance of someone being thrown out of the vehicle during a crash, and it helps prevent passengers from accidentally opening a door and falling out. 2.Adjust the Front Seats Locking the doors also helps prevent an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door when you come to a stop. When both tailgate and one or more doors are not tightly closed, the ‘‘DOOR & TAILGATE OPEN’’ message will come on.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２２：５２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１８ Protecting Adults and Teens The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest. In addition to adjusting the seat, you can adjust the steering wheel up and down, and in and out (see page 124 ).
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：００ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００１９ Protecting Adults and Teens 4.Adjust the Head Restraints Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and you can be seriously injured in a crash. Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash. Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：０７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２０ Protecting Adults and Teens The second row center seat, and both third row seats, have a detachable shoulder belt that can be unlatched and retracted, to allow the seats to be folded down. See page 146 for how to unlatch and relatch the seat belts. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove any slack, then check that the belt rests across the center of your chest and over your shoulder.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：１４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２１ Protecting Adults and Teens If the seat belt touches or crosses your neck, or if it crosses your arm instead of your shoulder, you need to adjust the seat belt anchor height. The front seats have adjustable seat belt anchors. To adjust the height of an anchor, squeeze the release button and slide the anchor up or down as needed (it has four positions). Never place the shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：１８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２２ Protecting Adults and Teens In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an inflating front airbag. Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a crash. Driver and Passenger Safety 6.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：２４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２３ Protecting Adults and Teens Advice for Pregnant Women If you are pregnant, the best way to protect yourself and your unborn child when driving or riding in a vehicle is to always wear a seat belt, and keep the lap part of the belt as low as possible across the hips. 18 When driving, remember to sit upright and adjust the seat as far back as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. When riding as a front passenger, adjust the seat as far back as possible.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：３２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２４ Protecting Adults and Teens Additional Safety Precautions could be very seriously injured in a crash. Passengers should not stand up or change seats while the vehicle is moving. A passenger who is not wearing a seat belt during a crash or emergency stop can be thrown against the inside of the vehicle, against other occupants, or out of the vehicle. Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：３９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２５ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Seat Belt System Components Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all seven seating positions. The front seat belts are also equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. This system uses the same sensors as the front airbags to monitor whether the front seat belts are latched or unlatched, and how much weight is on the front passenger’s seat (see pages 29 and 30 ).
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：４９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２６ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Any items under the front passenger’s seat. Any object(s) hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket. Any object(s) touching the rear of the seat-back. If no obstructions are found, have your vehicle checked by a dealer. Lap/Shoulder Belt The lap/shoulder belt goes over your shoulder, across your chest, and across your hips.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２３：５７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２７ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners The tensioners are designed to activate in any collision severe enough to cause the front airbags to deploy, or if a sensor detects your vehicle is about to roll over (see page 32 ). If a side airbag or side curtain airbag deploys during a side impact, the tensioner on that side of the vehicle will also deploy.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２４：０４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２８ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Seat Belt Maintenance For safety, you should check the condition of your seat belts regularly. The dealer should also inspect the anchors for damage and replace them if needed. If the automatic seat belt tensioners activate during a crash, they must be replaced. Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death if the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２４：０９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００２９ Additional Information About Your Airbags Airbag System Components (1) (6) (11) (8) (5) (2) (4) (3) (1) Driver’s Front Airbag (2) Passenger’s Front Airbag (3) Control Unit (4) Front Seat Belt Tensioners (5) Side Airbags (6) Driver’s Seat Position Sensor (7) Front Passenger’s Weight Sensors (8) Passenger Airbag Off Indicator (9) Occupant Position Detection System (OPDS) Sensors (10) Front Passenger’s Weight Sensors/OPDS Sensors Control Unit (11) SRS Indicator 24 (
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２４：１６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３０ Additional Information About Your Airbags Your Airbag System (SRS) includes: (17) (16) (13) Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for a front passenger. The airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seatbacks. Both are marked ‘‘SIDE AIRBAG’’ (see page 30 ).
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２４：２６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３１ Additional Information About Your Airbags Automatic front seat belt tensioners (see page 22 ). Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe front impact, side impact, or if your vehicle is about to rollover. Sensors that can detect whether a child is in the passenger’s side airbag path and signal the control unit to turn the airbag off (see page 31 ).
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２４：３５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３２ Additional Information About Your Airbags How Your Front Airbags Work Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy. If you ever have a moderate to severe frontal collision, sensors will detect the vehicle’s rapid deceleration. This can happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２４：４３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３３ Additional Information About Your Airbags The total time for inflation and deflation is one-tenth of a second, so fast that most occupants are not aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in their laps. After a crash, you may see what looks like smoke. This is actually powder from the airbag’s surface. Although the powder is not harmful, people with respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２４：５３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３４ Additional Information About Your Airbags Advanced Airbags For both advanced airbags to work properly: Occupants must sit upright and wear their seat belts properly. Do not spill any liquids on or under the seats, cover the sensors, or put any objects or metal items under the front seats. Second-row passengers should not put their feet under the front seats. Failure to follow these instructions could damage the sensors or prevent them from working properly.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２５：０２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３５ Additional Information About Your Airbags Be aware that objects placed on the passenger’s seat can also cause the airbag to be turned off. Moving the front seat forcibly back against cargo on the seat or floor behind it. When the airbag is turned off, a ‘‘passenger airbag off’’ indicator in the center of the dashboard comes on (see page 34 ). Hanging heavy items on the front passenger seat, or placing heavy items in the seat-back pocket.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２５：１０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３６ Additional Information About Your Airbags To get the best protection from the side airbags, front seat occupants should wear their seat belts and sit upright and well back in their seats. Side Airbag Cutoff System Your vehicle has a side airbag cutoff system designed primarily to protect a child riding in the front passenger’s seat.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２５：１８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３７ Additional Information About Your Airbags How Your Side Curtain Airbags Work If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the passenger’s side curtain airbag will inflate even if there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle. In a Rollover If the rollover sensor detects your vehicle is about to roll over, it signals the control unit, which immediately deploys both side curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt tensioners.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２５：３０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３８ Additional Information About Your Airbags When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, this indicator comes on briefly then goes off. This tells you the system is working properly. If the indicator comes on at any other time, or does not come on at all, you should have the system checked by your dealer. For example: If the SRS indicator does not come on after you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２５：３９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００３９ Additional Information About Your Airbags How the Passenger Airbag Off Indicator Works PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR U.S. Canada Be aware that objects placed on the front seat can cause the indicator to come on. If no weight is detected on the front seat, the airbag will be automatically shut off. However, the indicator will not come on. The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and off repeatedly if the total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２５：４８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４０ Additional Information About Your Airbags An airbag ever inflates. Any airbag that has deployed must be replaced along with the control unit and other related parts. Any seat belt tensioner that activates must also be replaced. Do not try to remove or replace any airbag by yourself. This must be done by an authorized dealer or a knowledgeable body shop. If your vehicle has a moderate to severe impact.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２５：５２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４１ Additional Information About Your Airbags Do not remove or modify a front seat without consulting your dealer. This could make the driver’s seat position sensor or the front passenger’s weight sensors ineffective. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to accommodate a person with disabilities, first contact Acura Client Services at 800-382-2238. 36 Do not cover or replace front seatback covers without consulting your dealer.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２６：００ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４２ Protecting Children − General Guidelines Children depend on adults to protect them. However, despite their best intentions, many adults do not know how to properly protect child passengers. If you have children, or ever need to drive with a child in your vehicle, be sure to read this section. It begins with important general guidelines, then presents special information for infants, small children, and larger children.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２６：１０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４３ Protecting Children − General Guidelines All Children Should Sit in a Back Seat According to accident statistics, children of all ages and sizes are safer when they are restrained in a back seat. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children aged 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. Some states have laws restricting where children may ride.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２６：２３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４４ Protecting Children − General Guidelines U.S. Models DASHBOARD SUN VISORS Driver and Passenger Safety To remind you of the passenger’s front airbag hazards, and that children must be properly restrained in a back seat, your vehicle has warning labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the front visors. Please read and follow the instructions on these labels.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２６：３１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４５ Protecting Children − General Guidelines If You Must Drive with Several Children Your vehicle has two rows of back seats where children can be properly restrained. If you ever have to carry a group of children, and a child must ride in front: Place the largest child in the front seat, provided the child is large enough to wear the lap/shoulder belt properly (see page 54 ). Move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible (see page 12 ).
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２６：４０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４６ Protecting Children − General Guidelines Additional Safety Precautions Never hold an infant or child on your lap. If you are not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could be thrown forward and crush the child against the dashboard or a seat-back. If you are wearing a seat belt, the child can be torn from your arms and be seriously hurt or killed. seat belt around their neck, they can be seriously or fatally injured.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２６：４８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４７ Protecting Infants and Small Children Protecting Infants Two types of seats may be used: a seat designed exclusively for infants, or a convertible seat used in the rearfacing, reclining mode. Do not put a rear-facing child seat in a forward-facing position. If placed facing forward, an infant could be very seriously injured during a frontal collision.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２６：５６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４８ Protecting Infants and Small Children Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death during a collision. Always place a rear-facing child seat in the back seat, not the front. Protecting Small Children We also recommend that a small child use the child seat until the child reaches the weight or height limit for the seat.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：０２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００４９ Protecting Infants and Small Children Child Seat Placement We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a back seat, not the front. Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger s airbag can be hazardous. If the vehicle seat is too far forward, or the child’s head is thrown forward during a collision, an inflating airbag can strike the child with enough force to cause very serious or fatal injuries.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：０９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５０ Selecting a Child Seat Conventional child seats must be secured to a vehicle with a seat belt, whereas LATCH-compatible seats are secured by attaching the seat to hardware built into the second-row seats. Since LATCH-compatible child seats are easier to install and reduce the possibility of improper installation, we recommend selecting this style. In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCHcompatible child seat can be installed using a seat belt.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：１６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５１ Installing a Child Seat After selecting a proper child seat and a good place to install the seat, there are three main steps in installing the seat: 1. Properly secure the child seat to the vehicle. All child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt or with the LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) system. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the vehicle can be endangered in a crash. 2.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：２６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５２ Installing a Child Seat The lower anchors are located between the seat-back and seat bottom, and are to be used only with a child seat designed for use with LATCH. The location of each lower anchor is indicated by a small button above the anchor point. MARKS Using the Outer LATCH LOWER ANCHORS When you install a child seat in rear seating position, use the lower anchors as shown in the illustration. You can install up to three child seats at a time with LATCH.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：３４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５３ Installing a Child Seat RIGID TYPE 3. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then attach the seat to the lower anchors according to the child seat maker’s instructions. Some LATCH-compatible seats have a rigid-type connector as shown above. 48 FLEXIBLE TYPE Other LATCH-compatible seats have a flexible-type connector as shown above. 4. Whatever type you have, follow the child seat maker’s instructions for adjusting or tightening the fit. TETHER STRAP 5.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：４２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５４ Installing a Child Seat Using the Center LATCH 2. Follow step 1 through 4 as described previously to secure the child seat. 6. Attach the tether strap hook to the tether anchor, then tighten the strap as instructed by the child seat maker. To install a LATCH-compatible child seat in the center seating position on the second row seat, use the center lower anchors as shown above. 7. Push and pull the child seat forward and from side-to-side to verify that it is secure.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：５０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５５ Installing a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/ Shoulder Belt When not using the LATCH system, all child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/ shoulder belt. In addition, the lap/shoulder belts in all seating positions except the driver’s have a lockable retractor that must be activated to secure a child seat.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２７：５８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５６ Installing a Child Seat Since a tether can provide additional security to the lap/shoulder belt installation, we recommend using a tether whenever one is required or available. 4. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt. Remember, if the lap part of the belt is not tight, the child seat will not be secure.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２８：０６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５７ Installing a Child Seat Second Row Installation TETHER STRAP TETHER ANCHORAGE POINT Each second row seat has a tether anchorage point behind the seatback. 52 Outer Seating Position 1. After properly securing the child seat (see page 50 ), lift the head restraint, then route the tether strap over the seat-back and through the head restraint legs. For the center seat, lower the head restraint, then route the tether strap over the head restraint and seat-back.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２８：１５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５８ Installing a Child Seat Third Row Installation 3. Tighten the strap according to the seat maker’s instructions. Each third row seat has a tether anchorage point on the tailgate sill. 1. Select the anchor point you want to use. Then open the anchor cover with a small flat-tip screwdriver. 2. Secure the child seat in the desired position (see page 50 ). Driver and Passenger Safety 2.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２８：２２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００５９ Protecting Larger Children Checking Seat Belt Fit When a child reaches the recommended weight or height limit for a forward-facing child seat, the child should sit in a back seat on a booster seat and wear a lap/shoulder belt. Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in front can result in injury or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２８：３０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００６０ Protecting Larger Children 3. Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s neck and arm? Using a Booster Seat 5. Will the child be able to stay seated like this for the whole trip? If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs to ride on a booster seat.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２８：３９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００６１ Protecting Larger Children If a child who uses a booster seat must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible and be sure the child is wearing the seat belt properly. A child may continue using a booster seat until the tops of their ears are even with the top of the vehicle’s or booster’s seat-back. A child of this height should be tall enough to use the lap/shoulder belt without a booster seat.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２８：４８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００６２ Protecting Larger Children If you decide that a child can safely ride up front, be sure to: Move the vehicle seat to the rearmost position. Do not let a child wear a seat belt across the neck. This could result in serious neck injuries during a crash. Do not let a child put the shoulder part of a seat belt behind the back or under the arm. This could Have the child sit up straight, back against the seat, and feet on or near the floor.
０７／０７／０９ ０９：２８：５６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ００６３ Carbon Monoxide Hazard Your vehicle’s exhaust contains carbon monoxide gas. Carbon monoxide should not enter the vehicle in normal driving if you maintain your vehicle properly and follow the information on this page. Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever: The vehicle is raised for an oil change. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust. The vehicle was in an accident that may have damaged the underside. 58 Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.

０７／０７／０９ １０：０６：２５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３３２ Fuel Economy Actual Mileage and EPA Fuel Economy Estimates Comparison. Fuel economy is not a fixed number. It varies based on driving conditions, driving habits and vehicle condition. Therefore, it is not possible for one set of estimates to predict fuel economy precisely for all drivers in all environments. City MPG − Represents urban driving in a vehicle in light traffic. A range of miles per gallon achieved is also provided.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０６：３８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３３３ Fuel Economy Fuel Economy Factors The following factors can lower your vehicle’s fuel economy: Aggressive driving (hard acceleration and braking) Excessive idling, accelerating and braking in stop-and-go traffic Cold engine operation (engines are more efficient when warmed up) Driving with a heavy load or the air conditioner running Improperly inflated tires Improving Fuel Economy Vehicle Maintenance A properly maintained vehicle maximizes fuel economy.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０６：４６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３３４ Fuel Economy Calculating Fuel Economy Checking Your Fuel Economy Miles driven Gallons of fuel Miles per Gallon 100 Liter Kilometers Before Driving Minimize the use of the air conditioning system − The A/C puts an extra load on the engine which makes it use more fuel. Use the fresh-air ventilation when possible. Plan and combine trips − Combine several short trips into one. A warmed-up engine is more fuel efficient than a cold one.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０６：５５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３３５ Accessories and Modifications Modifying your vehicle, or installing some non-Acura accessories, can make your vehicle unsafe. Before you make any modifications or add any accessories, be sure to read the following information. Accessories Your dealer has Acura accessories that allow you to personalize your vehicle. These accessories have been designed and approved for your vehicle, and are covered by warranty.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０７：０３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３３６ Accessories and Modifications Modifying Your Vehicle Removing parts from your vehicle, or replacing components with aftermarket components could seriously affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, and reliability.

０７／０７／０９ １０：０８：０１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３４３ Driving Guidelines, Preparing to Drive Driving Guidelines Your vehicle has higher ground clearance that allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and rough terrain. It also provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier. Because your vehicle rides higher off the ground, it has a high center of gravity that can cause it to roll over if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll over rate than other types of vehicles.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０８：１３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３４４ Preparing to Drive, Starting the Engine 6. Check the adjustment of the inside and outside mirrors (see page 154 ). 7. Check the steering wheel adjustment (see page 124 ). 8. Make sure the doors and tailgate are securely closed and locked. 10. When you start the engine, check the gauges and indicators in the instrument panel, and the messages on the multi-information display (see pages 63 , 72 and 81 ). 1. Apply the parking brake. 2.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０８：２１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３４５ Starting the Engine 5. If the engine does not start within 15 seconds, or starts but stalls right away, repeat step 4 with the accelerator pedal pressed halfway down. If the engine starts, release pressure on the accelerator pedal so the engine does not race. 6. If the engine fails to start, press the accelerator pedal all the way down, and hold it there while starting to clear flooding. If the engine still does not start, return to step 5.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０８：２９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３４６ Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicators If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on along with the ‘‘D’’ indicator, there is a problem with the automatic transmission control system. Avoid rapid acceleration, and have the transmission checked by your dealer as soon as possible. When the ‘‘D’’ indicator warns of a possible problem with the transmission, you will see a ‘‘CHECK TRANSMISSION’’ message on the multi-information display (see page 82 ).
０７／０７／０９ １０：０８：３７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３４７ Automatic Transmission To shift from: P to R R to P N to R D to D3 D3 to D D to N N to D R to N Do this: Press the brake pedal, and press the shift lever release button. Press the shift lever release button. Move the shift lever. Park (P) − This position mechanically locks the transmission. Use Park whenever you are turning off or starting the engine. To shift out of Park, you must press on the brake pedal and press the release button on the shift lever.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０８：４６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３４８ Automatic Transmission (＋) UP SHIFT SELECTED GEAR With the shift lever in ‘‘D’’ position, you can select the Sequential SportShift mode to shift gears much like a manual transmission, but without a clutch pedal. When you move the shift lever from ‘‘D’’ to ‘‘M’’ position, the display shows the selected gear. (−) DOWN SHIFT To enter the Sequential SportShift mode, move the shift lever further to the driver’s side.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０８：５５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３４９ Automatic Transmission The transmission may automatically downshift from the higher gear to the lower gear under these conditions: Driving on level roads and downhill To shift from Speed range 4→3 under 19 mph (31 km/h) 5→4 under 38 mph (60 km/h) Driving uphill To shift from 344 Speed range 4→3 under 34 mph (55 km/h) 5→4 under 47 mph (75 km/h) Downshifting gives you more power when climbing, and provides engine braking when going down a steep hill.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：０３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５０ Automatic Transmission The table shows the speed ranges for upshifting and downshifting. To shift from Speed range To shift from Speed range 3→2 under 60 mph (96 km/h) over 0 mph (0 km/h) 4→3 under 93 mph (150 km/h) 2→3 over 10 mph (16 km/h) 5→4 under 118 mph (190 km/h) 3→4 over 19 mph (31 km/h) 4→5 over 37 mph (60 km/h) If you start out in second gear, the transmission will be fixed in that gear.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：１０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５１ Automatic Transmission Drive (D3) − This position is similar to D, except only the first three gears are selected. Use D3 when towing a trailer in hilly terrain, or to provide engine braking when going down a steep hill. D3 can also keep the transmission from cycling between third, fourth, and fifth gears in stop-and-go driving. For faster acceleration when in D3 or D, you can get the transmission to automatically downshift by pushing the accelerator pedal to the floor.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：１８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５２ Automatic Transmission RELEASE BUTTON 6. Remove the key from the shift lock release slot, then reinstall the cover. Make sure the notch on the cover is on the driver’s side. Press the brake pedal, and restart the engine. If you need to use the shift lock release, it means your vehicle is developing a problem. Have the vehicle checked by a dealer. 3. Put a cloth on the edge of the shift lock release slot cover.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：２５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５３ Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD ®) System The super handling-all wheel drive (SH-AWD®) system is a full time allwheel-drive system that automatically controls and transfers varying amounts of engine torque to all wheels independently, according to the driving conditions.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：３１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５４ Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD®) System Your vehicle still has normal frontwheel drive with vehicle stability assist (VSA), but does not have the advantages of SH-AWD®. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible. Driving If the SH-AWD® indicator blinks while driving, it indicates the differential temperature is too high. You will also see an ‘‘SH-AWD® DIFF TEMP. HIGH’’ message on the multiinformation display.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：３９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５５ Parking Always use the parking brake when you park your vehicle. Make sure the parking brake is set firmly, or your vehicle may roll if it is parked on an incline. Set the parking brake before you put the transmission in Park. This keeps the vehicle from moving and putting pressure on the parking mechanism in the transmission. Parking Tips Make sure the moonroof and the windows are closed. Turn off the lights.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：４８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５６ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Your vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that turns on every time you start the engine and monitors the pressure in your tires while driving. If you think you can safely drive a short distance to a service station, proceed slowly to the station, then inflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
０７／０７／０９ １０：０９：５６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５７ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) For example, if you check and fill your tires in a warm area, then drive in extremely cold weather, the tire pressure will be lower than measured and could be underinflated and cause the low tire pressure/ TPMS indicator to come on. Or, if you check and adjust your tire pressure in cooler conditions, and drive into extremely hot conditions, the tire may become overinflated.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１０：０３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５８ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) To see the inflation pressures of all four tires, press the SEL/RESET button. The display changes as shown above. Canadian model Each tire pressure is shown in PSI (U.S. models) or in kPa (Canadian models). This shows that front left tire is losing pressure. Each tire has its own pressure sensor.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１０：１１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３５９ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) TPMS System Failure If any of the tires has low pressure, the tire pressure monitor also shows above message to warn you about the low tire pressure when you select the display by pressing the INFO button several times. Following this display, press the SEL/RESET button to see each tire pressure. When you continue driving after installing the spare tire, you will also see this message on the multiinformation display.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１０：１９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６０ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on, or the multiinformation display shows a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’ message, the VSA system automatically turns on even when the VSA system is turned off by pressing the VSA OFF switch (see page 360 ). If this happens, you cannot turn the VSA system off by pressing the VSA OFF switch again.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１０：２６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６１ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Braking System As required by the FCC: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１０：３４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６２ Braking System, Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) Braking System Design The hydraulic system that operates the brakes has two separate circuits. Each circuit works diagonally across the vehicle (the left-front brake is connected with the right-rear brake, etc.). If one circuit should develop a problem, you will still have braking at two wheels. If the brake pads need replacing, you will hear a distinctive, metallic screeching sound when you apply the brake pedal.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１０：４３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６３ Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) ABS Indicator If this indicator comes on, the antilock function of the braking system has shut down. The brakes still work like a conventional system, but without anti-lock. You should have your dealer inspect your vehicle as soon as possible. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK ABS SYSTEM’’ message on the multiinformation display (see page 81 ). If the indicator comes on while driving, test the brakes as instructed on page 438 .
０７／０７／０９ １０：１０：５３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６４ Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System The vehicle stability assist (VSA) system helps to stabilize the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle turns more or less than desired. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine’s output and by selectively applying the brakes.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１１：０２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６５ Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System VSA Off Switch This switch is under the driver’s side vent. To turn the VSA system on and off, press and hold it until you hear a beep. When VSA is off, the VSA activation indicator comes on as a reminder. With the VSA off, the trailer stability assist function is also turned off (see page 375 ). 360 VSA is turned on every time you start the engine, even if you turned it off the last time you drove the vehicle.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１１：１０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６６ Active Damper System U.S. Sport Packages and Canadian Elite models The active damper system is always on, constantly adjusting your vehicle’s dampers to the best settings for current road conditions along with vehicle speed and handling inputs. Sport mode: The system prioritizes handling response, vehicle body control and tire-to-road adhesion to allow for higher performance handling.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１１：１７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６７ Active Damper System Active Damper System Indicator If there is a problem with the active damper system, the active damper system shuts down and the active damper system indicator on the instrument panel comes on. When comfort mode is selected, the green indicator in the button comes ON, and the message ‘‘COMFORT’’ will appear on the multi-information display for five seconds.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１１：２５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６８ Active Damper System, Towing a Trailer If you see this warning indicator and message, have your vehicle checked at your dealer as soon as possible. In this case, your vehicle still has the normal damper function, but it will not have the active damper function. Towing a Trailer Your vehicle has been designed primarily to carry passengers and their cargo.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１１：３５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３６９ Towing a Trailer Load Limit and cause it to sway. Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) − The maximum allowable weight of the vehicle, all occupants, all accessories, all cargo and the tongue load is 5,952 lbs (2,700 kg). Total Trailer Weight The maximum allowable weight of the trailer and everything in or on it depends on the number of occupants in your vehicle and the type of trailer being towed (see page 366 ).
０７／０７／０９ １０：１１：４７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７０ Towing a Trailer Estimating Loads The best way to confirm that all loads are within limits is to check them at a public scale. For public scales in your area, check your local phone book, or contact your trailer dealer or rental agency for assistance. To Estimate the Total Trailer Weight Add the weight of your trailer (as quoted by the manufacturer) with everything in or on the trailer.

０７／０７／０９ １０：１２：０３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７２ Towing a Trailer Checking Loads To accurately check your loads at the public scale, the vehicle and trailer should be fully loaded, and all occupants should stay in the vehicle while the attendant watches the scale. 2. Check the gross vehicle weight. Limit: 5,952 lbs (2,700 kg) 1. Check the front gross axle weight. Limit: 2,888 lbs (1,310 kg) 4.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１２：１１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７３ Towing a Trailer Towing Equipment and Accessories Towing generally requires a variety of supplemental equipment. To ensure the best quality, we recommend that you purchase Acura equipment whenever possible. 6. Check the weight of the hitched trailer. Write this number down. 7. Check the weight of the unhitched trailer. Limit: See page 366 . 8. Calculate the tongue load. Subtract the weight in step 6 from the weight in step 7. Limit: See page 366 .
０７／０７／０９ １０：１２：２１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７４ Towing a Trailer Hitch We strongly recommend that you have your dealer install a class 3 hitch. Using non-Acura equipment may result in serious damage to your vehicle. Read the trailer manufacturer’s instructions, and select the appropriate draw bar for the height of the trailer you will be towing. Weight Distributing Hitch There are two common types of trailer brakes: surge and electric. Surge brakes are common for boat trailers, since the brakes will get wet.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１２：３１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７５ Towing a Trailer Use this illustration to identify each terminal in the trailer brake controller connector. ELECTRIC BRAKE (YELLOW) BRAKE (20A) (BLUE) Safety Chains Always use safety chains when you tow a trailer. Make sure the chains are secured to the trailer and hitch, and that they cross under the tongue and can catch the trailer if it becomes unhitched. Leave enough slack to allow the trailer to turn corners easily, but do not let the chains drag on the ground.

０７／０７／０９ １０：１２：４９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７７ Towing a Trailer Pre-Tow Checklist When preparing to tow, and before driving away, be sure to check the following: The vehicle has been properly serviced, and the suspension and the cooling system are in good operating condition. The trailer has been properly serviced and is in good condition. All weights and loads are within limits. The hitch, safety chains, and any other attachments are secure.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１２：５８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７８ Towing a Trailer Towing Speeds and Gears Drive slower than normal in all driving situations, and obey posted speed limits for vehicles with trailers. Use D position when towing a trailer on level roads. D3 is the proper shift lever position to use when towing a trailer in hilly terrain. (See ‘‘ Driving on Hills’’ on the next page for additional gear information.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１３：０８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３７９ Towing a Trailer Driving on Hills When climbing hills, closely watch your temperature gauge. If it nears the red (Hot) mark, turn the air conditioning off, reduce speed and, if necessary, pull to the side of the road to let the engine cool. If the transmission shifts frequently while going up a hill, shift to D3. If you must stop when facing uphill, use the foot brake or parking brake.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１３：１７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３８０ Trailer Stability Assist Your vehicle is equipped with trailer stability assist function. This function works on the same sensors as the vehicle stability assist (VSA) system. This function helps to stabilize the vehicle/trailer combination when the trailer severely sways or oscillates. For more information of the VSA system, see page 359 . The vehicle/trailer combination is more affected by crosswinds, buffeting, and improper tongue load.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１３：２６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３８１ Trailer Stability Assist Trailer Stability Assist Failure In this case, your vehicle still has the VSA traction and stability enhancement, but it will not have the trailer stability assist function. If there is a problem with the VSA system, the system and Trailer Stability Assist shuts off. The VSA system and VSA activation indicators also come on (see page 359 ). The control unit monitors the VSA circuitry and the braking system.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１３：３５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３８２ Off-Highway Driving Guidelines If you decide to drive on unpaved roads, you will find that it requires somewhat different driving skills. Your vehicle will also handle somewhat differently than it does on pavement. Be sure to pay extra attention to the precautions and tips in this section, and get acquainted with your vehicle before leaving the pavement.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１３：４７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３８３ Off-Highway Driving Guidelines Check Out Your Vehicle Before you leave the pavement, be sure to do all scheduled maintenance and service, and inspect your vehicle for any problems. Pay special attention to the condition of the tires, and check the tire pressures. After you return to the pavement, carefully inspect your vehicle to make sure there is no damage that could make driving it unsafe. Recheck the condition of the tires and the tire pressures.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１３：５９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０３８４ Off-Highway Driving Guidelines If you decide it is safe to drive through water, choose a suitable speed, and proceed without shifting, changing speeds, stopping, or shutting off the engine. After driving through water, test your brakes. If they got wet, gently ‘‘pump’’ them while driving slowly until they operate normally. If the water is deeper than the wheel hubs, some additional service may be required. This service is not covered by your warranties.

０７／０７／０９ １０：１８：３３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２０ Tires To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated. The following pages give more detailed information on how to take care of your tires and what to do when they need to be replaced. Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and maintenance.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１８：４２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２１ Tires Check the air pressures when the tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Add or release air, if needed, to match the recommended cold tire pressures. If you check air pressures when the tires are hot [driven for several miles (kilometers)], you will see readings 4 to 6 psi (30 to 40 kPa, 0.3 to 0.4 kgf/cm ) higher than the cold readings. This is normal.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１８：５２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２２ Tires Tire Inspection Every time you check inflation, you should also examine the tires for damage, foreign objects, and wear. INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS You should look for: Bumps or bulges in the tread or side of the tire. Replace the tire if you find either of these conditions. Cuts, splits, or cracks in the side of the tire. Replace the tire if you can see fabric or cord. Your tires have wear indicators molded into the tread.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：０２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２３ Tires Tire Maintenance In addition to proper inflation, correct wheel alignment helps to decrease tire wear. If you find a tire is worn unevenly, have your dealer check the wheel alignment. Have your dealer check the tires if you feel a consistent vibration while driving. A tire should always be rebalanced if it is removed from the wheel. When you have new tires installed, make sure they are balanced. This increases riding comfort and tire life.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：１３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２４ Tires It is best to replace all four tires at the same time. If that is not possible or necessary, replace the two front tires or two rear tires as a pair. Replacing just one tire can seriously affect your vehicle’s handling. If you ever replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheels. Replacement wheels are available at your dealer. Always use the size and type of tires recommended in this owner’s manual.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：２０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２５ Tires Tire Chains Mount tire chains on your tires when required by driving conditions or local laws. Install them only on the front tires. Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, Acura strongly recommends using the chains listed below. SCC Super Z-6＃SZ 435 When installing chains, follow the manufacturer’s instructions and mount them as tightly as you can. Drive slowly with chains installed. If you hear them contacting the body or chassis, stop and investigate.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：２８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２６ Checking the Battery TEST INDICATOR WINDOW If additional battery maintenance is needed, see your dealer or a qualified technician. WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling. If you need to connect the battery to a charger, disconnect both cables to prevent damaging your vehicle’s electrical system. Always disconnect the negative (−) cable first, and reconnect it last.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：３７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２７ Vehicle Storage If you need to park your vehicle for an extended period (more than 1 month), there are several things you should do to prepare it for storage. Proper preparation helps prevent deterioration and makes it easier to get your vehicle back on the road. If possible, store your vehicle indoors. Fill the fuel tank. Wash and dry the exterior completely. Clean the interior. Make sure the carpeting, floor mats, etc., are completely dry. Leave the parking brake off.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：４０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２８ Taking Care of the Unexpected This section covers the more common problems that motorists experience with their vehicles. It gives you information about how to safely evaluate the problem and what to do to correct it. If the problem has stranded you on the side of the road, you may be able to get going again. If not, you will also find instructions on getting your vehicle towed. Compact Spare Tire....................... 424 Changing a Flat Tire .....................
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：４９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４２９ Compact Spare Tire Use the compact spare tire as a temporary replacement only. Get your regular tire repaired or replaced, and put it back on your vehicle as soon as you can. Check the inflation pressure of the compact spare tire every time you check the other tires. It should be inflated to: 60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm ) Follow these precautions: Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). This tire gives a harsher ride and less traction on some road surfaces.
０７／０７／０９ １０：１９：５７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４３０ Changing a Flat Tire If you have a flat tire while driving, stop in a safe place to change it. Drive slowly along the shoulder until you get to an exit or an area to stop that is far away from the traffic lanes. The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath. 1. Park the vehicle on firm, level, and non-slippery ground. Put the transmission in Park. Apply the parking brake. JACK TOOLS SPARE TIRE 2.

０７／０７／０９ １０：２０：４４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４３６ If the Engine Won t Start Diagnosing why the engine won’t start falls into two areas, depending on what you hear when you turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position: You hear nothing, or almost nothing. The engine’s starter motor does not operate at all, or operates very slowly. You can hear the starter motor operating normally, or the starter motor sounds like it is spinning faster than normal, but the engine does not start up and run.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２０：５４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４３７ If the Engine Won t Start, Jump Starting Are you using the proper starting procedure? Refer to Starting the Engine on page 339 . Do you have fuel? Check the fuel gauge; the warning indicator may not be working. There may be an electrical problem, such as no power to the fuel pump. Check all the fuses (see page 440 ). If you find nothing wrong, you will need a qualified technician to find the problem. See Emergency Towing on page 446 .
０７／０７／０９ １０：２１：０２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４３８ Jump Starting 5. If the booster battery is in another vehicle, have an assistant start that vehicle and run it at a fast idle. 6. Start your vehicle. If the starter motor still operates slowly, check that the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact. BOOSTER BATTERY 3. Connect one jumper cable to the positive (＋) terminal on your vehicle’s battery. Connect the other end to the positive (＋) terminal on the booster battery. 4.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２１：０９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４３９ If the Engine Overheats The pointer of your vehicle’s temperature gauge should stay in the midrange under most conditions. If it climbs to the red mark, you should determine the reason (hot day, driving up a steep hill, etc.). If the vehicle overheats, you should take immediate action. The only indication may be the temperature gauge climbing to or above the red mark. Or you may see steam or spray coming from under the hood.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２１：１８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４０ If the Engine Overheats 4. If the temperature gauge stays at the red mark, turn off the engine. 5. Look for any obvious coolant leaks, such as a split radiator hose. Everything is still extremely hot, so use caution. If you find a leak, it must be repaired before you continue driving (see Emergency Towing on page 446 ). 6. If you do not find an obvious leak, check the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank. Add coolant if the level is below the MIN mark.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２１：２８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４１ Low Oil Pressure Indicator, Charging System Indicator Low Oil Pressure Indicator This indicator should never come on when the engine is running. If it starts flashing or stays on, the oil pressure has dropped very low or lost pressure. Serious engine damage is possible, and you should take immediate action. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK ENGINE OIL LEVEL’’ message on the multi-information display when this indicator comes on.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２１：３６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４２ Malfunction Indicator Lamp If this indicator comes on while driving, it means one of the engine’s emissions control systems may have a problem. Even though you may feel no difference in your vehicle’s performance, it can reduce your fuel economy and cause increased emissions. Continued operation may cause serious damage. If you keep driving with the malf unction indicator lamp on, you can damage your vehicle’s emissions controls and engine.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２１：４４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４３ Brake System Indicator U.S. Canada The brake system indicator normally comes on when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, and as a reminder to check the parking brake. It will stay on if you do not fully release the parking brake. If the brake system indicator comes on while driving, the brake fluid level is probably low. Press lightly on the brake pedal to see if it feels normal.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２１：５３ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４４ Fuses INTERIOR LID REAR LID UNDER-HOOD (PRIMARY) TAB The rear fuse box is located at the left side of cargo area. The interior fuse box is underneath the dashboard on the driver’s side. The primary under-hood fuse box is located next to the battery. The secondary fuse box is on the passenger’s side. To remove the fuse box lid, put your finger in the notch on the lid, pull it toward you, and take it out of its hinges.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２２：００ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４５ Fuses Checking and Replacing Fuses If something electrical in your vehicle stops working, the first thing you should check for is a blown fuse. Determine from the chart on pages 443 , 444 , and 445 , or the diagram on the fuse box lid, which fuse or fuses control that device. Check those fuses first, but check all the fuses before deciding that a blown fuse is the cause. Replace any blown fuses, and check if the device works. 1.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２２：０７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４６ Fuses BLOWN FUSE PULLER 5. Look for a burned wire inside the fuse. If it is burned out, replace it with one of the spare fuses of the same rating or lower. If you replace the blown fuse with a spare fuse that has a lower rating, it might blow out again. This does not indicate anything wrong. Replace the fuse with one of the correct rating as soon as you can. CONTINUED 441 Taking Care of the Unexpected 4.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２２：１１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４４７ Fuses Replacing a f use with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of damaging the electrical system. If you do not have a replacement f use with the proper rating f or the circuit, install one with a lower rating. 6.

０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：０５ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４５９ DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles) The tires on your vehicle meet all U.S. Federal Safety Requirements. All tires are also graded for treadwear, traction, and temperature performance according to Department of Transportation (DOT) standards. The following explains these gradings. Uniform Tire Quality Grading Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder and maximum section width.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：０９ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６０ DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles) Warning: The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：２２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６１ Tire Labeling The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you should be aware of are described below. TIRE LABELING EXAMPLE (1) Tire Size Whenever tires are replaced, they should be replaced with tires of the same size. The following is an example of tire size with an explanation of what each component means. P255/55R18 104H P − Vehicle type (P indicates passenger vehicle). 255 − Tire width in millimeters.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：３０ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６２ Tire Labeling FW6X − Tire type code. 2202 − Date of manufacture. Year Week Maximum Tire Pressure Max Press − The maximum air pressure the tire can hold. Maximum Tire Load Max Load − The maximum load the tire can carry at maximum air pressure.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：３６ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６３ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) − Required Federal Explanation Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：４１ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６４ Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) − Required Federal Explanation Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：４８ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６５ Emissions Controls The burning of gasoline in your vehicle’s engine produces several byproducts. Some of these are carbon monoxide (CO), oxides of nitrogen (NOx), and hydrocarbons (HC). Gasoline evaporating from the tank also produces hydrocarbons. Controlling the production of NOx, CO, and HC is important to the environment. Under certain conditions of sunlight and climate, NOx and HC react to form photochemical ‘‘smog.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２４：５７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６６ Emissions Controls Exhaust Emissions Controls The exhaust emissions controls include four systems: PGM-FI, ignition timing control, exhaust gas recirculation, and three way catalytic converter. These four systems work together to control the engine’s combustion and minimize the amount of HC, CO, and NOx that come out the tailpipe. The exhaust emissions control systems are separate from the crankcase and evaporative emissions control systems.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２５：０４ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６７ Three Way Catalytic Converter The three way catalytic converter contains precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals. The catalytic converter is referred to as a three-way catalyst, since it acts on HC, CO, and NOx. A replacement unit must be an original Acura part or its equivalent.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２５：１２ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６８ Emissions Testing Testing of Readiness Codes If you take your vehicle for an emissions test shortly after the battery has been disconnected or gone dead, it may not pass the test. This is because of certain ‘‘readiness codes’’ that must be set in the onboard diagnostics for the emissions systems. These codes are erased when the battery is disconnected, and set again only after several days of driving under a variety of conditions.
０７／０７／０９ １０：２５：１７ ３１ＳＴＸ６１０ ０４６９ Emissions Testing 7. Select a nearby lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph (80 to 97 km/h) for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in D. Do not use cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.
