07/05/17 08:45:31 31SJA630 0043 Protecting Children − General Guidelines All Children Must Be Restrained Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle accidents are the number one cause of the death of children ages 12 and under. Children depend on adults to protect them. However, despite their best intentions, many adults do not know how to properly protect child passengers.
07/05/17 08:45:44 31SJA630 0044 Protecting Children − General Guidelines 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. Children who ride in back are less likely to be injured by striking interior vehicle parts during a collision or hard braking. Also, children cannot be injured by an inflating front airbag when they ride in the back.
07/05/17 08:46:00 31SJA630 0045 Protecting Children − General Guidelines 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.

This can prevent children from accidentally falling out (see page 154 ). Do not leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children without adult supervision is illegal in most states and Canadian provinces, and can be very hazardous. For example, infants and small children left in a vehicle on a hot day can die from heatstroke.
07/05/17 08:46:36 31SJA630 0048 Protecting Infants and Small Children Protecting Infants 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. Child Seat Type An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the child reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the child is at least one year old.
07/05/17 08:46:49 31SJA630 0049 Protecting Infants and Small Children In any of these situations, we strongly recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat. Protecting Small Children Child Seat Placement We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a back seat, not the front.

07/05/17 09:38:03 31SJA630 0339 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. The EPA fuel economy estimates shown in the example to the right are a useful tool for comparison when buying a vehicle.
07/05/17 09:38:22 31SJA630 0340 Fuel Economy Improving Fuel Economy Vehicle Maintenance A properly maintained vehicle maximizes fuel economy. Poor maintenance can significantly reduce fuel economy. Always maintain your vehicle according to the maintenance messages displayed on the multiinformation display (see Owner’s Maintenance Checks on page 394 ). For example: Use the recommended viscosity motor oil, displaying the API Certification Seal (see page 399).
07/05/17 09:38:35 31SJA630 0341 Fuel Economy 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.
07/05/17 09:38:47 31SJA630 0342 Accessories and Modifications Modifying your vehicle, or installing some non-Acura accessories, can make your vehicle unsafe.

07/05/17 09:41:54 31SJA630 0361 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.
07/05/17 09:42:08 31SJA630 0362 Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) System, Parking If the SH-AWD indicator on the instrument panel stays on, and the multi-information display shows an SH-AWD message, there is a problem with the system. Your vehicle still has normal front-wheel 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. Parking Always use the parking brake when you park your vehicle.
07/05/17 09:42:18 31SJA630 0363 Braking System Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. A power assist helps reduce the effort needed on the brake pedal. The brake pedal assist function increases the force you apply to the brake pedal during an emergency stop. When the brake pedal assist is activated, the epretensioners (if equipped) tighten front seat belts (see page 24 ). The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering control when braking very hard (see page 359 ).
07/05/17 09:42:27 31SJA630 0364 Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps prevent the wheels from locking up, and helps you retain steering control by pumping the brakes rapidly, much faster than a person can do it. You should never pump the brake pedal. 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.
07/05/17 09:42:36 31SJA630 0365 Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) If the ABS indicator and the brake system indicator come on together, and the parking brake is fully released, the EBD system may also be shut down. Important Safety Reminders ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle. It only helps with steering control during braking. Test your brakes as instructed on page 449 . If the brakes feel normal, drive slowly and have your vehicle repaired by your dealer as soon as possible.
07/05/17 09:42:45 31SJA630 0366 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) Overview If equipped When your speed is above 10 mph (15 km/h), the CMBS radar sensor in the front grille can sense a vehicle ahead of you. When your vehicle gets too close to the vehicle ahead of you, the system may activate a warning beep, causing automatic application of the brakes, and causing the e-pretensioners to tighten the front seat belts (see page 24 ).
07/05/17 09:42:54 31SJA630 0367 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) Radar Sensor BOLTS (Do not tamper) If the front emblem or the radar sensor ever needs to be removed, take your vehicle to a dealer. EMBLEM The radar sensor is located behind the Acura emblem in the front grille. If the emblem is covered with mud, dirt, dead leaves, wet snow, etc., or if you put a sticker on it, the CMBS will automatically shut off, and the CMBS indicator on the instrument panel will come on.
07/05/17 09:43:00 31SJA630 0368 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) When the CMBS is on, the radar sensor constantly scans f or vehicles ahead of you. This means that driving on a road with a f ew or no vehicles could cause a CHECK CMBS RADAR SENSOR message to appear on the multiinf ormation display. This is normal and not a cause f or concern. The radar sensor may not always scan as intended.
07/05/17 09:43:09 31SJA630 0369 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) Collision Alarm CMBS OFF Switch CMBS OFF SWITCH If the system senses a likely collision with a vehicle or object ahead of you, it alerts you with an audible and a visual alarm. 364 The audible alarm is a constant beeping sound; the visual alert is an amber colored BRAKE message that flashes on the multi-information display.
07/05/17 09:43:18 31SJA630 0370 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the CMBS is turned on if it was on previously. Automatic Shut Off Any of the conditions below can cause the CMBS to shut off. When the system shuts off, the CMBS indicator in the instrument panel comes on, and a CHECK CMBS SYSTEM message appears on the multi-information display for about 5 seconds. The CMBS will automatically recover when these conditions are improved.
07/05/17 09:43:30 31SJA630 0371 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) CMBS Indicator The CMBS indicator normally comes on under these conditions: When the VSA system indicator comes on (see page 377 ). CMBS INDICATOR When you manually turn off the system. When the system shuts off automatically. When you drive in bad weather (rain, snow, fog, etc.). This indicator comes on for several seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
07/05/17 09:43:42 31SJA630 0372 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) Limitations The CMBS may not activate under some conditions. Here are a few examples: YOUR VEHICLE YOUR VEHICLE The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is too short. A vehicle cuts in front of you at a slow speed. Driving A vehicle cuts in front of you and brakes suddenly. Driving in heavy, stop-and-go traffic. When you accelerate rapidly and approach the vehicle ahead of you at high speed.
07/05/17 09:43:51 31SJA630 0373 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) YOUR VEHICLE YOUR VEHICLE The CMBS is not designed to detect pedestrians. Even with little or no chance of a collision, the CMBS may activate under these conditions: When you change lanes quickly, then overtake the vehicle ahead of you. A vehicle suddenly crosses in front of you. 368 When you approach or pass a vehicle ahead of you that is turning left or right in an intersection.
07/05/17 09:44:01 31SJA630 0374 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) YOUR VEHICLE LOW BRIDGE RAILS When you pass a low bridge at high speed. When you go over a sharp-edged speed bump at high speed. When you go over areas of construction on the road surface. When you approach train tracks at the bottom of a hill and you do not apply the brakes. Because of the road condition (curved, winding, etc.) or the state of your vehicle (turning angle, lane position, etc.
07/05/17 09:44:08 31SJA630 0375 Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) Important Safety Reminder The main purpose of the CMBS is to reduce the severity of injuries caused by an unavoidable collision. While the CMBS may help to alert you and minimize the severity of a collision, it may not activate in every dangerous situation. Even with the CMBS, it is still your responsibility to operate the brake pedal and steering wheel appropriately, according to the driving conditions.
07/05/17 09:44:21 31SJA630 0376 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. Driving on a significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
07/05/17 09:44:32 31SJA630 0377 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Although your tire pressure is monitored, you must manually check the tire pressures monthly. Each tire, including the spare, should be checked monthly when the vehicle is cold, and set to the recommended inflation pressure as specified on the vehicle placard and in the owner’s manual (see page 419 ).
07/05/17 09:44:41 31SJA630 0378 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Tire Pressure Monitor VEHICLE ICON When any of the tires has low pressure, the multi-information display shows a ‘‘TIRE PRESSURE ERROR SYSTEM FUNCTION NORMAL’’ message (see page 76 ). If there is a system error with the TPMS, the multi-information display shows a ‘‘SYSTEM FUNCTION ERROR’’ message (see page 79 ), and the tire pressure readings will not be displayed.
07/05/17 09:44:51 31SJA630 0379 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator and the low tire position on the low tire pressure monitor do not go out after inflating the tires to the specified values, have your dealer check the system as soon as possible. Tire Pressure Readings U.S. When the TPMS is functioning normally, you can see the tire pressure readings of each tire in psi (U.S.
07/05/17 09:45:00 31SJA630 0380 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) It is possible that the pressures shown on the multi-information display and the pressures you manually measure are slightly different. Check TPMS System Message If there is a problem with the TPMS, the multi-information display shows a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’ message. Also, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator begins to flash (see page 67 ).
07/05/17 09:45:07 31SJA630 0381 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 378 ). If this happens, you cannot turn the VSA system off by pressing the VSA OFF switch again.
07/05/17 09:45:20 31SJA630 0382 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.
07/05/17 09:45:33 31SJA630 0383 Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System VSA Off Switch In certain unusual conditions when your vehicle gets stuck in shallow mud or fresh snow, it may be easier to free it with the VSA temporarily switched off. When the VSA system is off, the traction control system is also off. You should only attempt to free your vehicle with the VSA off if you are not able to free it when the VSA is on. Immediately after freeing your vehicle, be sure to switch the VSA on again.
07/05/17 09:45:41 31SJA630 0384 Towing a Trailer Your vehicle has been designed primarily to carry passengers and their cargo. You can also use it to tow a trailer if you carefully observe the load limits, use the proper equipment, and follow the guidelines in this section. Check the loading of your vehicle and trailer carefully before starting to drive. Total Trailer Weight: The maximum allowable weight of the trailer and everything in or on it must not exceed 1,000 lbs (450 kg).
07/05/17 09:45:54 31SJA630 0385 Towing a Trailer To achieve a proper tongue load, start by loading 60 % of the load toward the front of the trailer and 40 % toward the rear, then re-adjust the load as needed.
07/05/17 09:46:05 31SJA630 0386 Towing a Trailer Safety Chains Trailer Brakes Trailer Lights 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.
07/05/17 09:46:16 31SJA630 0387 Towing a Trailer Additional Towing Equipment Many states and Canadian provinces require special outside 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. Ask your trailer sales or rental agency if any other items are recommended or required for your towing situation.
07/05/17 09:46:28 31SJA630 0388 Towing a Trailer Driving Safely With a Trailer The added weight, length, and height of a trailer will affect your vehicle’s handling and performance, so driving with a trailer requires some special driving skills and techniques. 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.
07/05/17 09:46:41 31SJA630 0389 Towing a Trailer, Towing Your Vehicle Driving on Hills Handling Crosswinds and Buffeting 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. Crosswinds and air turbulence caused by passing trucks can disrupt your steering and cause the trailer to sway.

07/05/17 09:52:45 31SJA630 0424 Wheels, Tires Tires To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be the proper type and size, in good condition with adequate tread, and correctly inflated. Aluminum alloy wheels have a protective clear-coat that keeps the aluminum from corroding and tarnishing. Cleaning the wheels with harsh chemicals (including some commercial wheel cleaners) or a stiff brush can damage the clear-coat. To clean the wheels, use a mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge.
07/05/17 09:52:53 31SJA630 0425 Tires Even though your vehicle is equipped with TPMS, we recommend that you visually check your tires every day. If you think a tire might be low, check it immediately with a tire gauge. Use a gauge to measure the air pressure in each tire at least once a month. Even tires that are in good condition may lose one to two psi (10 to 20 kPa, 0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm ) per month. Remember to check the spare tire at the same time. Check the pressure in the tires when they are cold.
07/05/17 09:53:09 31SJA630 0426 Tires Recommended Tire Pressures The following charts show the recommended cold tire pressures for most normal and high-speed driving conditions. Tire Size/Type P245/50R17 98V Rear 30 psi (210 kPa , 2.1 kgf/cm ) 60 psi (420 kPa , 4.2 kgf/cm ) Tire Size 245-680R460A 102V Cold Tire Pressure for Normal Driving Front: 32 psi (220 kPa , 2.2 kgf/cm ) Rear: 30 psi (210 kPa , 2.
07/05/17 09:53:18 31SJA630 0427 Tires INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS TREAD WEAR INDICATORS Your tires have wear indicators molded into the tread. When the tread wears down, you will see a 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) wide band across the tread. This shows there is less than 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) of tread left on the tire. A tire this worn gives very little traction on wet roads. You should replace the tire if you can see three or more tread wear indicators.
07/05/17 09:53:32 31SJA630 0428 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. Improper wheel weights can damage your vehicle’s aluminum wheels. Use only Acura wheel weights f or balancing.
07/05/17 09:53:47 31SJA630 0429 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. Wheels and Tires Wheels: 17 x 8.0J AL (TPMS) On models with the Michelin PAX system 235 − 460A (TPMS) If you ever need to replace a wheel, make sure the wheel’s specifications match those of the original wheel that came on your vehicle.
07/05/17 09:53:56 31SJA630 0430 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 chain listed below, made by Security Chain Company (SCC). When installing cables, follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and mount them as tight as you can. Make sure they are not contacting the brake lines or suspension.
07/05/17 09:54:07 31SJA630 0431 Tires Michelin PAX SystemTM If equipped Your vehicle is equipped with the Michelin PAX system which, together with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), enables you to continue driving even if one or more of your tires loses its pressure. The tires and wheels on your vehicle are specially designed for the PAX system, and the PAX system is specifically designed and fine-tuned for your vehicle.
07/05/17 09:54:17 31SJA630 0432 Checking the Battery Check the terminals for corrosion (a white or yellowish powder). To remove it, cover the terminals with a solution of baking soda and water. It will bubble up and turn brown. When this stops, wash it off with plain water. Dry off the battery with a cloth or paper towel. Coat the terminals with grease to help prevent future corrosion. TEST INDICATOR WINDOW WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
07/05/17 09:54:28 31SJA630 0433 Checking the Battery If your vehicle’s battery is disconnected or goes dead, all stored driving positions will be lost. To store the driving positions again, see the storing procedure on page 160 . On vehicles with navigation system The navigation system will also disable itself. The next time you turn on the ignition switch, the system will require you to enter a PIN before it can be used. Refer to the navigation system manual.
07/05/17 09:54:42 31SJA630 0434 Vehicle Storage 2. Push the tabs and remove the cover by pulling it up carefully. 3. To reinstall the cover, put the tabs of the cover back to the original position properly. 4. Turn the knob of the cover to LOCK position as shown in the illustration.

07/05/17 09:54:47 31SJA630 Vehicle Storage Cover the vehicle with a ‘‘breathable’’ cover, one made from a porous material such as cotton. Non-porous materials, such as plastic sheeting, trap moisture, which can damage the paint. If possible, periodically run the engine until it reaches full operating temperature (the cooling fans cycle on and off twice). Preferably, do this once a month.
07/05/17 09:54:52 31SJA630 0436 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. 431 Taking Care of the Unexpected Driving with a Flat Tire ................
07/05/17 09:54:59 31SJA630 0437 Driving With a Flat Tire Michelin PAX SystemTM If equipped Your vehicle is equipped with the Michelin PAX system. Since each Michelin PAX system tire has an inner support ring that allows it to continue running without air, it may be difficult to immediately judge from its appearance if a tire is punctured. Your vehicle is also equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and this system may be your first detection of a flat tire.
07/05/17 09:55:09 31SJA630 0438 Driving With a Flat Tire With the PAX system tires, you can drive up to about 125 miles (200 km) even if one or more of your tires are punctured. This allows you to drive to the nearest Acura dealer or authorized Michelin PAX system dealer to have the tire(s) repaired. If you get a flat tire, never try to repair it yourself, and never replace a flat tire with a compact spare tire. Follow the instructions shown on the multi-information display, and drive very carefully.
07/05/17 09:55:20 31SJA630 0439 Driving With a Flat Tire vehicle behind another vehicle with a rope or chain. Flat-bed equipment is the only way to transport your vehicle. Important Safety Precautions Although your vehicle is capable of run flat driving, you should always observe the following: Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h). If you see the above message on the multi-information display, you have reached the limit of run flat driving, and you should stop driving immediately.
07/05/17 09:55:30 31SJA630 0440 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: Follow these precautions: INDICATOR LOCATION MARKS Never exceed 50 mph (80 km/h). This tire gives a harsher ride and less traction on some road surfaces.
07/05/17 09:55:40 31SJA630 0441 Changing a Flat Tire Models without Michelin PAX System 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. TRUNK FLOOR SPARE TIRE The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath. Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.

07/05/17 09:58:25 31SJA630 0458 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 456 , 457 , and 458 , 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. 2. Remove the cover from the fuse box.
07/05/17 09:58:32 31SJA630 0459 Fuses BLOWN 5. Look for a blown wire inside the fuse. If it is blown, replace it with one of the spare fuses of the same rating or lower. If you cannot drive the vehicle without fixing the problem, and you do not have a spare fuse, take a fuse of the same rating or a lower rating from one of the other circuits with the fuse puller provided in the underhood fuse box. Make sure you can do without that circuit temporarily (such as the accessory power socket or radio).

07/05/17 10:00:48 31SJA630 0471 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.
07/05/17 10:00:53 31SJA630 0472 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.
07/05/17 10:01:08 31SJA630 0473 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 Tire Size Whenever tires are replaced, they should be replaced with tires of the same size. Following is an example of tire size with an explanation of what each component means. (1) 98 − Load index (a numerical code associated with the maximum load the tire can carry).
07/05/17 10:01:25 31SJA630 0474 Tire Labeling FW6X − Tire type code. PAX SystemTM Tire Labeling If equipped 2202 − Date of manufacture. Year Week Maximum Tire Pressure Max Press − The maximum air pressure the tire can hold. The PAX system tires have different markings from conventional tire markings. Following is an example of PAX system tire size with an explanation of what each component means. 102 −Load index (a numerical code associated with the maximum load the tire can carry).
07/05/17 10:01:33 31SJA630 0475 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.
07/05/17 10:01:39 31SJA630 0476 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.
07/05/17 10:01:50 31SJA630 0477 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.
07/05/17 10:02:03 31SJA630 0478 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.
07/05/17 10:02:14 31SJA630 0479 Three Way Catalytic Converters The three way catalytic converters contain precious metals that serve as catalysts, promoting chemical reactions to convert the exhaust gasses without affecting the metals. The catalytic converters are referred to as three-way catalysts, since they act on HC, CO, and NOx. Replacement units must be original Acura parts or their equivalent.
07/05/17 10:02:25 31SJA630 0480 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.
07/05/17 10:02:31 31SJA630 0481 Emissions Testing 7. Select a nearby lightly traveled major highway where you can maintain a speed of 50 to 60 mph for at least 20 minutes. Drive on the highway in D.
