０９／０４／０２ １８：３８：１７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００１３ 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.

０９／０４／０２ １８：３８：３６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００１５ Your Vehicle’s Safety 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３８：４３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００１６ Your Vehicle’s Safety Features Airbags Driver and Passenger Safety Your vehicle has a supplemental restraint system (SRS) with front airbags to help protect the heads and chests of the driver and a front seat passenger during a moderate to severe frontal collision (see page 29 for more information on how your front airbags work).
０９／０４／０２ １８：３８：５１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００１７ Your Vehicle’s Safety 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. What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３８：５９ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００１８ Protecting Adults and Teens Your vehicle has a door and trunk open indicators on the multiinformation display to indicate when a specific door or the trunk is not tightly closed. You will see the appropriate indicator(s) and the message for each condition. See pages 38 − 55 for important guidelines on how to properly protect infants, small children, and larger children who ride in your vehicle.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３９：０５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００１９ 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. Locking the doors also helps prevent an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door when you come to a stop. When the trunk is not tightly closed, the ‘‘TRUNK OPEN’’ indicator will come on.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３９：１２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２０ Protecting Adults and Teens 2.Adjust the Front Seats 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 148 ). Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the front airbags inflate.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３９：２１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２１ Protecting Adults and Teens 3.Adjust the Seat-Backs 4.Adjust the Head Restraints 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. Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable, upright position, leaving ample space between your chest and the airbag cover in the center of the steering wheel.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３９：２９ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２２ Protecting Adults and Teens Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving. Properly adjusted head restraints will help protect occupants from whiplash and other crash injuries. Position the lap part of the belt as low as possible across your hips, then pull up on the shoulder part of the belt so the lap part fits snugly. This lets your strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash and reduces the chance of internal injuries.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３９：３７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２３ Protecting Adults and Teens This spreads the forces of a crash over the strongest bones in your upper body. RELEASE BUTTON Never place the shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash. If a seat belt does not seem to work properly, it may not protect the occupant in a crash. Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in a crash.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３９：４４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２４ Protecting Adults and Teens Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased.
０９／０４／０２ １８：３９：５２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２５ Protecting Adults and Teens 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. Do not put any accessories on seat belts. Devices intended to improve Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４０：０１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２６ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts 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 31 and 32 ). The seat belt system includes an indicator on the instrument panel and a beeper to remind you and your passengers to fasten your seat belts.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４０：０８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２７ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts If the indicator comes on or the beeper sounds when the driver’s seat belt is latched and there is no front seat passenger and no items on the front seat, something may be interfering with the monitoring system. Look for and remove: Any items under the front passenger’s seat. Lap/Shoulder Belt The lap/shoulder belt goes over your shoulder, across your chest, and across your hips.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４０：１６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２８ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners If the shoulder part of the belt is pulled all the way out, the lockable retractor will activate. The belt will retract, but it will not allow the passenger to move freely. To deactivate the lockable retractor, unlatch the buckle and let the seat belt fully retract. To refasten the seat belt, pull it out only as far as needed.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４０：２４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００２９ Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Seat Belt e-pretensioners On models with Collision Mitigation Brake System For added safety, the front seat belts are equipped with e-pretensioners that work in combination with the collision mitigation brake system (CMBS) (see page 413 ) and the brake pedal assist function (see page 410 ).
０９／０４／０２ １８：４０：３０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３０ 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.

０９／０４／０２ １８：４０：４２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３２ Additional Information About Your Airbags Your airbag system includes: (14) 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 32 ).
０９／０４／０２ １８：４０：５２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３３ Additional Information About Your Airbags On models with CMBS, front seat belt e-pretensioners (see page 24 ). Automatic front seat belt tensioners (see page 23 ). Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe front impact or side impact. 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 33 ).
０９／０４／０２ １８：４１：０１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３４ Additional Information About Your Airbags How Your Front Airbags Work Driver and Passenger Safety During a frontal crash, your seat belt restrains your lower body and torso, and the front airbag helps protect your head and chest. 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４１：０７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３５ Additional Information About Your Airbags 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. If this occurs, get out of the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. Dual-Stage Airbags Dual-Threshold Airbags Your front airbags are dual-stage airbags.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４１：１７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３６ Additional Information About Your Airbags Advanced Airbags DRIVER’S SEAT POSITION SENSOR 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. Failure to follow these instructions could damage the sensors or prevent them from working properly. The driver’s advanced front airbag system includes a seat position sensor under the seat.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４１：２６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３７ Additional Information About Your Airbags When the passenger airbag gets turned off by the weight sensors, a ‘‘passenger airbag off’’ indicator in the center of the dashboard comes on (see page 35 ). If the weight sensors detect there is no passenger in the front seat, the airbag is automatically turned off. However, the passenger airbag off indicator in this situation will not come on.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４１：３４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３８ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４１：４３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００３９ Additional Information About Your Airbags How Your Side Curtain Airbags Work SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG 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. To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts and sit upright and well back in their seats.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４１：５５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００４０ Additional Information About Your Airbags If you see any of these indications, the airbags and seat belt tensioners may not work properly when you need them. Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４２：０４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００４１ Additional Information About Your Airbags 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４２：１０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００４２ Additional Information About Your Airbags The SRS indicator alerts you to a problem. Take your vehicle to an If your vehicle has a moderate to severe impact. Even if your airbags do not inflate, your dealer should inspect the driver’s seat position sensor, the front passenger’s weight sensors, the front seat belt tensioners, and all seat belts and their anchors worn during a crash to make sure they are operating properly. Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４２：１８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ 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 death of children age 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４２：２８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４２：３９ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ 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. Please read and follow the instructions on these labels. U.S.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４２：５０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００４６ Protecting Children − General Guidelines Place the largest child in the front seat, provided the child is large enough to wear the lap/shoulder belt properly (see page 52 ). Move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible (see page 156 ). Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat (see page 19 ). Make sure the seat belt is properly positioned and secured (see page 17 ).
０９／０４／０２ １８：４２：５７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００４７ Protecting Children − General Guidelines Use the childproof door locks to prevent children from opening the rear doors. This can prevent children from accidentally falling out (see page 155 ). Do not leave children alone in a vehicle. Leaving children without adult supervision is illegal in most states, Canadian provinces and territories, and can be very hazardous. For example, infants and small children left in a vehicle on a hot day can die from heatstroke.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４３：０７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ 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. Rear-facing Child Seat Placement A rear-facing child seat can be placed in any seating position in the back seat, but not in the front. Never put a rear-facing child seat in the front seat.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４３：１４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ 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 Of the different seats available, we recommend those that have a fivepoint harness system as shown.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４３：２２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５０ Protecting Infants and Small Children, Selecting a Child Seat Child Seat Placement 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.
０９／０４／０３ １６：１３：３０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５１ Selecting a Child Seat, Installing a Child Seat Whatever type of seat you choose, to provide proper protection, a child seat should meet three requirements: 1. The child seat should meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. Look for FMVSS 213 or CMVSS 213 on the box. 2. The child seat should be of the proper type and size to fit the child. Rear-facing for infants, forwardfacing for small children. 3.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４３：４１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５２ Installing a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat with LATCH Your vehicle is equipped with LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren) at the outer rear seats.

０９／０４／０２ １８：４３：５８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５４ Installing a Child Seat 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. 1. With the child seat in the desired seating position, route the belt through the child seat according to the seat maker’s instructions, then insert the latch plate into the buckle and remove any slack from the lap portion of the belt. 2.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４４：０４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５５ Installing a Child Seat To deactivate the lockable retractor and remove a child seat, unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat belt, and let the belt fully retract. 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. 5.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４４：１１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５６ Installing a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat with a Tether TETHER STRAP HOOK 3. Tighten the strap according to the seat maker’s instructions. COVER ANCHOR A child seat with a tether can be installed in any seating position in the back seat, using one of the anchorage points shown above. Since a tether can provide additional security to the lap/shoulder belt installation, we recommend using a tether whenever one is required or available. ANCHOR 1.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４４：１８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５７ Protecting Larger Children 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 the 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４４：２７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５８ 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 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.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４４：３８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００５９ Protecting Larger Children When Can a Larger Child Sit in Front The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children age 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. If the passenger’s front airbag inflates in a moderate to severe frontal collision, the airbag can cause serious injuries to a child who is unrestrained, improperly restrained, sitting too close to the airbag, or out of position.
０９／０４／０２ １８：４４：４３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ００６０ Protecting Larger Children Additional Safety Precautions Do not let a child wear a seat belt across the neck. This could result Do not let a child put the shoulder part of a seat belt behind the back or under the arm. This could improve a child’s comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can make the belt less effective and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

０９／０４／０２ １９：１９：０８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３２５ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Overview Adaptive cruise control (ACC) allows you to maintain a set speed and keep the vehicle ahead of you and your vehicle at a safe distance without having to use the accelerator pedal or the brake pedal. When the vehicle ahead of you slows down or speeds up, ACC senses the change in distance and compensates by accelerating or braking your vehicle to reach the cruising speed you previously set.
０９／０４／０２ １９：１９：１６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３２６ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Operating Characteristics Improper use of ACC can lead to a crash. Features Use ACC only when traveling on open highways in good weather. When there is no vehicle ahead within ACC range Your vehicle will maintain a set cruising speed. When a vehicle ahead is within ACC range and going slower than your set speed If the vehicle ahead of you is going slower than your set speed, your vehicle will slow down to the speed of that vehicle.
０９／０４／０２ １９：１９：２２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３２７ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) If the vehicle ahead of you slows down abruptly, or if another vehicle cuts in front of you, a beeper sounds and a message appears on the multiinformation display to warn you. In this case, decelerate your vehicle by pressing the brake pedal, and keep an appropriate distance from the vehicle ahead. When a vehicle ahead is within ACC range and going at a steady speed Your vehicle follows the vehicle ahead of it, keeping a constant distance.
０９／０４／０２ １９：１９：２７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３２８ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Limitations ACC does not work below 25 mph (40 km/h). It cannot bring your vehicle to a complete stop. Features ACC will not sound a beeper or display a message on the multiinformation display to warn you of vehicles going slower than 13 mph (20 km/h) or vehicles that are parked.

０９／０４／０２ １９：２８：１８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３８９ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：２８：３１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９０ 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 446 ). For example: Use the recommended viscosity motor oil, displaying the API Certification Seal (see page 452).
０９／０４／０２ １９：２８：４０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９１ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：２８：４９ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９２ 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. Although non-Acura accessories may fit on your vehicle, they may not meet factory specifications, and could adversely affect your vehicle’s handling and stability.
０９／０４／０２ １９：２８：５５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９３ Accessories and Modifications Modifying Your Vehicle Removing parts from your vehicle, or replacing components with nonAcura components could seriously affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, and reliability. Here are some examples: Lowering the vehicle with a nonAcura suspension kit that significantly reduces ground clearance can allow the undercarriage to hit speed bumps or other raised objects, which could cause the airbags to deploy.
０９／０４／０２ １９：２９：０４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９４ Carrying Cargo CONSOLE COMPARTMENT FRONT DOOR POCKET CENTER POCKET Your vehicle has several convenient storage areas: Glove box Front door and seat-back pockets Console compartment Center pocket Trunk However, carrying too much cargo, or improperly storing it, can affect your vehicle’s handling, stability, stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe. Before carrying any type of cargo, be sure to read the following pages.
０９／０４／０２ １９：２９：１６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９５ Carrying Cargo Load Limits The maximum load for your vehicle is 850 lbs (385 kg). See Tire And Loading Information label attached to the driver’s doorjamb. Label Example This figure includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo, and accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a crash in which you can be hurt or killed.
０９／０４／０２ １９：２９：２１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９６ Carrying Cargo Example 1 Max Load (850 lbs) Passenger Weight (150 lbs x 2 = 300 lbs) Cargo Weight (550 lbs) Max Load (850 lbs) Passenger Weight (150 lbs x 4 = 600 lbs) Cargo Weight (250 lbs) Max Load (850 lbs) Passenger Weight (150 lbs x 5 = 750 lbs) Cargo Weight (100 lbs) In addition, the total weight of the vehicle, all occupants, accessories, cargo, and trailer tongue load must not exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) or the Gross Axle Weight Rating
０９／０４／０２ １９：２９：３０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９７ Carrying Cargo Carrying Items in the Passenger Compartment Store or secure all items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash. Do not put any items on top of the rear shelf. They can block your view and be thrown around the vehicle during a crash. Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the seats and interfere with the pedals or seat operation. Keep the glove box closed while driving.
０９／０４／０２ １９：２９：３５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０３９８ Carrying Cargo Cargo Hooks SIDE CARGO HOOKS CARGO FLOOR HOOKS Before Driving There are hooks on the floor and both sides of the trunk.

０９／０４／０２ １９：２９：５１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０１ Preparing to Drive You should do the following checks and adjustments before you drive your vehicle. 1. Make sure all windows, mirrors, and outside lights are clean and unobstructed. Remove frost, snow, or ice. 5. Check the seat adjustment (see page 156 ). 6. Check the adjustment of the inside and outside mirrors (see page 161 ). 7. Check the steering wheel adjustment (see page 148 ). 2. Check that the hood is fully closed. 3. Visually check the tires.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３０：００ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０２ Starting the Engine Your vehicle’s starting system has an auto control mode. When you turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position, this feature keeps the engine’s starter motor running until the engine starts. Follow these instructions to start the engine: seconds until the engine starts.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３０：０５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０３ Starting the Engine Check Starting System Message If this message is on, the ignition switch has to be held in the START (III) position manually until the engine starts. The ignition switch can be held in that position up to 15 seconds. Even though you may be able to start the engine manually without the auto control mode of the starting system, have your dealer inspect your vehicle.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３０：１４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０４ Automatic Transmission Shift Lever Position Indicators The ‘‘D’’ indicator comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. If it flashes while driving (in any shift position), it indicates a possible problem in the transmission. Shifting These indicators between the tachometer and speedometer show which position the shift lever is in.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３０：２０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０５ Automatic Transmission To shift from: P to R R to P N to R D to S S 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 have your foot off the accelerator pedal.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３０：２８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０６ Automatic Transmission S Position (S) − To shift into the S position, press the release button on the front of the shift lever, and move the lever to S. This position is similar to D, except only gears from first to fourth are selected. The S position keeps the transmission from cycling between fourth and fifth gears in stop-and-go driving.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３０：３４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０７ Automatic Transmission 6. Remove the built-in 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. COVER 3. Put a cloth on the edge of the shift lock release slot cover next to the shift lever.
０９／０４／０３ １６：１４：２３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０８ Driving with the Paddle Shifters Using the Paddle Shifters in the D position (D-Paddle Shift Mode) When you are driving in the D position, pulling either paddle shifter switches from the ordinary automatic transmission [drive mode (D)] to the D-paddle shift mode. You can shift the transmission up or down manually with the paddle shifters. Each time you pull ＋ (right), the transmission shifts to a higher gear. Pull − (left) to downshift.
０９／０４／０３ １６：１４：３５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４０９ Driving with the Paddle Shifters The transmission control system monitors the accelerator pedal use and your driving conditions. When you press the accelerator pedal as in normal driving, the system judges that you are driving at a constant cruising speed without using the paddle shifters. Under these conditions, D-paddle shift mode is canceled, and the transmission automatically returns to drive mode (D).
０９／０４／０３ １６：１４：４７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１０ Driving with the Paddle Shifters Using the Paddle Shifters in the S position (Sequential Shift Mode) With the shift lever in the S position, you can select the sequential shift mode to shift gears; much like a manual transmission using the paddle shifters, but without a clutch pedal. ‘‘M’’ INDICATOR When you move the shift lever from ‘‘D’’ to ‘‘S’’ position and pull either paddle shifter, the gear position indicator displays ‘‘M’’ along with the selected gear number.
０９／０４／０３ １６：１４：５９ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１１ Driving with the Paddle Shifters Downshifting with the paddle shifter allows you to increase the engine braking when going down steep or long hills, and provides more power when climbing uphills. You can upshift the transmission manually to reduce the rpm. The transmission also shifts automatically as the vehicle comes to a complete stop. It downshifts to first gear when the vehicle speed reaches 9 mph (15 km/h) or less.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３１：１７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１２ Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD ) System Starting in Second Gear When you are in sequential shift mode, and the vehicle is stopped, pull the ＋ (right) paddle shifter to shift to second gear. You will see ‘‘M2’’ in the display. Starting in second gear helps to reduce wheelspin in deep snow or on a slippery surface.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３１：２２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１３ Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD ) System Each torque indicator is displayed as a bar graph divided into 5 segments. The number of segments represents the amount of torque distributed to each wheel. When there is only a slight change in torque distribution while driving, such as cruising on level roads at the same speed, the torque distribution monitor may stop displaying the amount of torque. This is not a system problem.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３１：３０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１４ 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 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. Place any packages, valuables, etc.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３１：３８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１５ 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 411 ).
０９／０４／０２ １９：３１：４５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１６ 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. 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３１：５２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１７ 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 502 . If the brakes feel normal, drive slowly and have your vehicle repaired by your dealer as soon as possible.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３１：５９ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１８ Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) Overview If equipped RADAR SENSOR When the CMBS activates, the brake lights also come on. BRAKE ACTUATOR SEAT BELT e-PRETENSIONERS The CMBS consists of a radar sensor in the front grille, a brake actuator in the engine compartment, an indicator on the instrument panel, seat belt e-pretensioners on the front seats, and an on/off switch on the dashboard.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：０６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４１９ Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) Radar Sensor BOLTS (Do not tamper) If the radar sensor cover or the radar sensor ever needs to be removed, take your vehicle to a dealer. RADAR SENSOR COVER The radar sensor is located under the Acura emblem in the front grille. If the radar sensor cover is covered with mud, dirt, dead leaves, wet snow, etc.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：１０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２０ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：１７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２１ 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. The audible alarm is a constant beeping sound; the visual alert is an amber colored BRAKE message that flashes on the multi-information display.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：２４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２２ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：３３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２３ 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 429 ). 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：４３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２４ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：５０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２５ 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. When you approach or pass a vehicle ahead of you that is turning left or right in an intersection.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３２：５８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２６ Collision Mitigation Brake System (CMBS) YOUR VEHICLE LOW BRIDGE RAILS When you pass a low bridge at high speed. When you approach train tracks at the bottom of a hill and you do not apply the brakes. When you go over a sharp-edged speed bump at high speed. When you go over areas of construction on the road surface. Because of the road condition (curved, winding, etc.) or the state of your vehicle (turning angle, lane position, etc.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：０３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２７ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：１２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２８ 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 under inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：２０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４２９ 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 474 ).
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：２７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３０ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：３４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３１ 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. CANADA When the TPMS is functioning normally, you can see the tire pressure readings of each tire in psi (U.S.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：４１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３２ 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 ).
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：４６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３３ 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 430 ). If this happens, you cannot turn the VSA system off by pressing the VSA OFF switch again.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３３：５５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３４ Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３４：０４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３５ Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System If the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator comes on (see page 423 ), or the multi-information display shows a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’ message with the indicator flashing (see page 427 ), the VSA system automatically turns on even if the VSA system is turned off with the VSA OFF switch. In this case, you cannot turn the VSA system off by pressing the VSA OFF switch again.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３４：１１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３６ 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).
０９／０４／０２ １９：３４：２０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３７ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３４：２８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３８ 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. There are two common types of trailer brakes: surge and electric.
０９／０４／０３ １６：１５：３４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４３９ Towing a Trailer Additional Towing Equipment Many states and Canadian provinces/territories 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３４：４３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４４０ 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. Making Turns and Braking Make turns more slowly and wider than normal. The trailer tracks a smaller arc than your vehicle, and it can hit or run over something the vehicle misses. Allow more time and distance for braking.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３４：５２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４４１ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３４：５７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４４２ Maintenance This section explains why it is important to keep your vehicle well maintained and how to follow basic maintenance safety precautions. This section also includes instructions on how to read the maintenance minder messages on the multi-information display, and instructions for simple maintenance tasks you may want to take care of yourself.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３５：０７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４４３ Maintenance Safety All service items not detailed in this section should be performed by a certified technician or other qualified mechanic.

０９／０４／０２ １９：３９：４６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４７９ Wheels, Tires Wheels Clean the wheels as you would the rest of the exterior. Wash them with the same solution, and rinse them thoroughly. 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：３９：５３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８０ 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. Check the pressure in the tires when they are cold. This means the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：０６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８１ Tires Recommended Tire Pressures The following charts show the recommended cold tire pressures for most normal and high-speed driving conditions. For convenience, the recommended tire sizes and cold tire pressures are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb. For additional technical information about your tires, see page 520 . High Speed Driving Tire Size P245/45R18 96V Cold Tire Pressure Front 36 psi (250 kPa , 2.5 kgf/cm ) Rear 35 psi (240 kPa , 2.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：１３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８２ Tires When you return to normal speed driving, be sure to readjust the tire pressure for normal driving. You should wait until the tires are cold before adjusting the tire pressure. 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：１８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８３ Tires Tire Service Life The service life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including, but not limited to, driving habits, road conditions, vehicle loading, inflation pressure, maintenance history, speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use). In addition to your regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five years old.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：２８ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８４ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：３５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８５ 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. Also be sure you use only TPMS specific wheels. If you do not, the tire pressure monitoring system will not work on that tire. Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：４２ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８６ Tires Winter Driving Tires marked ‘‘M ＋ S’’ or ‘‘All Season’’ on the sidewall have an allweather tread design suitable for most winter driving conditions. For the best performance in snowy or icy conditions, you should install snow tires or tire chains. They may be required by local laws under certain conditions. Snow Tires Tire Chains If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure they are radial tires of the same size and load range as the original tires.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：４６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８７ Tires 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. Drive slowly with them installed. If you hear them coming into contact with the body or chassis, stop and investigate. Remove them as soon as you begin driving on cleared roads.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４０：５４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０４８８ 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.

０９／０４／０２ １９：４５：４６ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５２５ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４５：５０ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５２６ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：０４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５２７ 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) 96 − Load index (a numerical code associated with the maximum load the tire can carry).
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：１３ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５２８ Tire Labeling FW6X − Tire type code. 2202 − Date of manufacture. Year Week Glossary of Tire Terminology Cold Tire Pressure − The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). principal grooves designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread. Load Rating − Means the maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given inflation pressure.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：１９ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５２９ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：２４ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５３０ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：３１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５３１ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：４１ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５３２ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：４７ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５３３ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４６：５５ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５３４ 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.
０９／０４／０２ １９：４７：００ ３１ＳＪＡ６５０ ０５３５ 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. Do not use the cruise control. When traffic allows, drive for 90 seconds without moving the accelerator pedal. (Vehicle speed may vary slightly; this is okay.
