10/07/29 11:40:49 31TK4620_013 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.
10/07/29 11:40:56 31TK4620_014 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 26 for more information on how your front airbags work).
10/07/29 11:41:03 31TK4620_015 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 collisions, or minor frontal or side collisions. Airbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force.
10/07/29 11:41:12 31TK4620_016 Protecting Adults and Teens See pages 37 − 56 for important guidelines on how to properly protect infants, small children, and larger children who ride in your vehicle. 1.Close and Lock the Doors After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure the doors are closed and locked. Your vehicle has a door/ trunk open indicator (red) on the instrument panel to indicate when any door or the trunk lid is not tightly closed.
10/07/29 11:41:18 31TK4620_017 Protecting Adults and Teens If any door or the trunk is not closed tightly, the multi-information display reminds you to close the open door(s) or the trunk before you start driving. When the trunk is not tightly closed, the ‘‘TRUNK OPEN’’ indicator will come on. The above illustration shows that all doors and the trunk are open. 12 When one or more doors or the trunk lid are not tightly closed, the corresponding indicator for each condition will come on.
10/07/29 11:41:25 31TK4620_018 Protecting Adults and Teens 2.Adjust the Front Seats Locking the doors also helps prevent an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door when you come to a stop. Your vehicle has the auto door locking/unlocking feature. For more information, see page 121 . Adjust the driver’s seat as far to the rear as possible while allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. Have a front passenger adjust their seat as far to the rear as possible.
10/07/29 11:41:31 31TK4620_019 Protecting Adults and Teens 3.Adjust the Seat-Backs Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the front airbags inflate. Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat. Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible. See page 155 for how to adjust the front seats.
10/07/29 11:41:38 31TK4620_020 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. Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving. See page 155 for how to adjust the seat-backs. Adjust the driver’s head restraint so the center of the back of your head rests against the center of the restraint. Have passengers adjust their head restraints properly as well.
10/07/29 11:41:44 31TK4620_021 Protecting Adults and Teens Properly adjusted head restraints will help protect occupants from whiplash and other crash injuries. See page 157 for how to adjust the head restraints and how the driver’s and front passenger’s active head restraints work. 5.Fasten and Position the Seat Belts Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the belt is securely latched.
10/07/29 11:41:50 31TK4620_022 Protecting Adults and Teens RELEASE BUTTON 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. No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt. Using a seat Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in a crash. Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
10/07/29 11:41:57 31TK4620_023 Protecting Adults and Teens 6.Maintain a Proper Sitting Position After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the engine is off. Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash.
10/07/29 11:42:05 31TK4620_024 Protecting Adults and Teens This will reduce the risk of injuries to both you and your unborn child that can be caused by a crash or an inflating front airbag. Each time you have a checkup, ask your doctor if it’s okay for you to drive. Additional Safety Precautions Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash. Do not put any accessories on seat belts.
10/07/29 11:42:13 31TK4620_025 Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Seat Belt System Components Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all seating positions. The front seat belts are also equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. 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.
10/07/29 11:42:22 31TK4620_026 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.
10/07/29 11:42:28 31TK4620_027 Additional Information About Your Seat Belts 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. Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners The tensioners can be activated during a collision in which the front airbags do not deploy. In this case, the airbags would not be needed, but the additional restraint could be helpful.
10/07/29 11:42:34 31TK4620_028 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.

10/07/29 11:42:49 31TK4620_030 Additional Information About Your Airbags Your airbag system includes: 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 ). 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 31 ).
10/07/29 11:42:58 31TK4620_031 Additional Information About Your Airbags A sophisticated electronic system that continually monitors and records information about the sensors, the control unit, the airbag activators, the seat belt tensioners, and driver and front passenger seat belt use when the ignition switch* is in the ON (II) position. * : Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of ON (II).
10/07/29 11:43:05 31TK4620_032 Additional Information About Your Airbags Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy. This can happen if the severity of a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.
10/07/29 11:43:11 31TK4620_033 Additional Information About Your Airbags Dual-Stage, Multiple-Threshold Front Airbags (SRS) Your vehicle is equipped with dualstage, multiple-threshold front airbags (SRS). During a frontal crash severe enough to cause one or both front airbags to deploy, the airbags can inflate at different rates, depending on the severity of the crash, whether or not the seat belts are latched, and/or other factors.
10/07/29 11:43:18 31TK4620_034 Additional Information About Your Airbags Be aware that objects placed on the passenger’s seat can also cause the airbag to be turned off. DRIVER’S SEAT POSITION SENSOR The driver’s advanced front airbag system includes a seat position sensor under the seat. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will inflate with less force, regardless of the severity of the impact.
10/07/29 11:43:26 31TK4620_035 Additional Information About Your Airbags To ensure that the passenger’s advanced front airbag system will work properly, do not do anything that would increase or decrease the weight on the front passenger’s seat. This includes: A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’s seat. Moving the front seat or seat-back forcibly back against cargo on the seat or floor behind it.
10/07/29 11:43:34 31TK4620_036 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.
10/07/29 11:43:43 31TK4620_037 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. One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate to severe frontal collision which causes the front airbags to deploy.
10/07/29 11:43:53 31TK4620_038 Additional Information About Your Airbags If the SRS indicator does not come on after you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position or on models with keyless access system, press the engine start/ stop button to set ON mode (see page 181 ). If the indicator stays on after the engine starts. If the indicator comes on or flashes on and off while you drive. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-information display.
10/07/29 11:44:00 31TK4620_039 Additional Information About Your Airbags * : Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of ON (II). For more information, see pages 178 and 181 . How the Passenger Airbag Off Indicator Works 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.
10/07/29 11:44:08 31TK4620_040 Additional Information About Your Airbags Any items under the front passenger’s seat. Any object 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 as soon as possible. Airbag Service Your airbag systems are virtually maintenance free, and there are no parts you can safely service. However, you must have your vehicle serviced if: An airbag ever inflates.
10/07/29 11:44:13 31TK4620_041 Additional Information About Your Airbags Additional Safety Precautions Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together, airbags and seat belts provide the best protection. Do not tamper with airbag components or wiring for any reason. Tampering could cause the airbags to deploy, possibly causing very serious injury. Do not expose the front passenger’s seat-back to liquid.
10/07/29 11:44:21 31TK4620_042 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.
10/07/29 11:44:31 31TK4620_043 Protecting Children − General Guidelines All Children Should Sit in a Back Seat According to crash 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 age 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. Some states have laws restricting where children may ride.
10/07/29 11:44:43 31TK4620_044 Protecting Children − General Guidelines U.S. Models DASHBOARD SUN VISOR 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.
10/07/29 11:44:54 31TK4620_045 Protecting Children − General Guidelines If You Must Drive with Several Children Your vehicle has a back seat 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 53 ). Move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible (see page 155 ).
10/07/29 11:45:00 31TK4620_046 Protecting Children − General Guidelines seat belt around their neck, they can be seriously or fatally injured. (See pages 50 and 51 for how to activate and deactivate the lockable retractor.) 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.
10/07/29 11:45:08 31TK4620_047 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.
10/07/29 11:45:15 31TK4620_048 Protecting Infants and Small Children Protecting Small Children and weight are appropriate for a rear-facing seat. Of the different seats available, we recommend those that have a fivepoint harness system as shown. We also recommend that a small child use the child seat until the child reaches the weight or height limit for the seat. Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death during a crash.
10/07/29 11:45:20 31TK4620_049 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.
10/07/29 11:45:27 31TK4620_050 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 two outer seating positions in the back seat. Since LATCH-compatible child seats are easier to install and reduce the possibility of improper installation, we recommend selecting this style.
10/07/29 11:45:33 31TK4620_051 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.
10/07/29 11:45:43 31TK4620_052 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. COVERS BUTTON LOWER ANCHORS To install a LATCH-compatible child seat: 1. Move the seat belt buckle or tongue away from the lower anchors.
10/07/29 11:45:51 31TK4620_053 Installing a Child Seat HEAD RESTRAINT BUTTON Outer seating position 4. Push the button located next to each rear head restraint to pivot the head restraint down. Rigid type 5. 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.
10/07/29 11:46:00 31TK4620_054 Installing a Child Seat TETHER STRAP HOOK COVER 7. Route the tether strap over the head restraint, then attach the tether strap hook to the anchor, making sure the strap is not twisted. 8. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat maker. 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.
10/07/29 11:46:07 31TK4620_055 Installing a Child Seat 2. To activate the lockable retractor, slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops, then let the belt feed back into the retractor. 3. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is locked, you will not be able to pull it out. If you can pull the belt out, it is not locked, and you will need to repeat these steps. 50 4.
10/07/29 11:46:15 31TK4620_056 Installing a Child Seat Installing a Child Seat with a Tether Using an Outer Anchor TETHER STRAP HOOK COVER TETHER ANCHORAGE POINTS Driver and Passenger Safety To deactivate the lockable retractor and remove a child seat, unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat belt, and let the belt fully retract. ANCHOR ANCHOR COVER 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. 1.
10/07/29 11:46:22 31TK4620_057 Installing a Child Seat 2. Lift the anchor cover, then attach the tether strap hook to the anchor, making sure the strap is not twisted. Using the Center Anchor TETHER STRAP HOOK COVER 3. Tighten the strap according to the seat maker’s instructions. ANCHOR 1. After properly securing the child seat (see page 49 ), adjust the head restraint to its lowest position, then route the tether strap over the head restraint. 2. Follow steps 2 and 3 in the previous column.
10/07/29 11:46:29 31TK4620_058 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.
10/07/29 11:46:37 31TK4620_059 Protecting Larger Children 3. Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s neck and arm? Using a Booster Seat 4. Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs? 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.
10/07/29 11:46:45 31TK4620_060 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 the 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.
10/07/29 11:46:53 31TK4620_061 Protecting Larger Children If you decide that a child can safely ride up front, be sure to: Carefully read the owner’s manual, and make sure you understand all seat belt instructions and all safety information. Move the vehicle seat to the rearmost position. Additional Safety Precautions Do not let a child wear a seat belt across the neck. This could result in serious neck injuries during a crash.
10/07/29 11:47:00 31TK4620_062 Carbon Monoxide Hazard Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever: Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you. Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide. The vehicle is raised for an oil change. You notice a change in the sound of the exhaust. The vehicle was in a collision that may have damaged the underside.

10/07/29 12:39:43 31TK4620_455 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.
10/07/29 12:39:57 31TK4620_456 Fuel Economy Use the recommended viscosity motor oil, displaying the API Certification Seal (see page 509). Maintain proper tire inflation − An underinflated tire increases ‘‘rolling resistance,’’ which reduces fuel economy. Avoid carrying excess weight in your vehicle − It puts a heavier load on the engine, increasing fuel consumption. Drive Efficiently Drive moderately − Rapid acceleration, abrupt cornering, and hard braking increase fuel consumption.
10/07/29 12:40:06 31TK4620_457 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.
10/07/29 12:40:14 31TK4620_458 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, stability, and reliability.

Set the parking brake.
10/07/29 12:41:57 31TK4620_470 Manual Transmission When shifting up or down, make sure you push the clutch pedal down all the way, shift to the next gear, and let the pedal up gradually. When you are not shifting, do not rest your foot on the clutch pedal. This can cause your clutch to wear out faster. Rapid slowing or speeding up can cause loss of control on slippery surfaces. If you crash, you can be injured. Use extra care when driving on slippery surfaces.
10/07/29 12:42:03 31TK4620_471 Manual Transmission Recommended Shift Points Drive in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate smoothly. This will give you good fuel economy and effective emissions control.
10/07/29 12:42:10 31TK4620_472 Manual Transmission 2. If you are still unable to shift to reverse, apply the parking brake, and select the ACCESSORY or VEHICLE OFF (LOCK) mode (see page 179 ). Reverse Lockout The manual transmission has a lockout so you cannot accidentally shift from any forward gear to reverse while the vehicle is moving at a certain speed. If you cannot shift to reverse when the vehicle is stopped, do the following: 3. Press the clutch pedal, and shift to reverse. 1.
10/07/29 12:42:18 31TK4620_473 Automatic Transmission * : Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of ON (II). For more information, see pages 178 and 181 . Shift Lever Position Indicators GEAR POSITION INDICATOR on PADDLE SHIFT MODE These indicators between the tachometer and speedometer show which position the shift lever is in.
10/07/29 12:42:26 31TK4620_474 Automatic Transmission Shifting To shift from Park to any position, press firmly on the brake pedal, and press the release button on the front of the shift lever, then move the lever.

Use a small flat-tip screwdriver or metal fingernail file to carefully pry up the edge of the cover and remove it from the slot. 472 Vehicle without keyless access system is shown. 4. Insert a key or built-in key in the shift lock release slot. 5.
10/07/29 12:42:54 31TK4620_478 Driving with the Paddle Shifters (Automatic Transmission Only) 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. Using the Paddle Shifters in the D position (D-Paddle Shift Mode) When you are driving in the D position, you can shift the transmission up or down manually with the paddle shifters.
10/07/29 12:43:02 31TK4620_479 Driving with the Paddle Shifters (Automatic Transmission Only) 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).
10/07/29 12:43:09 31TK4620_480 Driving with the Paddle Shifters (Automatic Transmission Only) Using the Paddle Shifters in the S position (Sequential Shift Mode) With the shift lever in the S position, you can manually shift up or down with the paddle shifters. The transmission goes into the sequential shift mode and holds the selected gear. When you accelerate from a stop, the transmission starts in first gear, and you must manually upshift between first and fifth gears.
10/07/29 12:43:18 31TK4620_481 Driving with the Paddle Shifters (Automatic Transmission Only) The transmission remains in the selected gear (5, 4, 3, 2, or 1). There is no automatic downshift when you push the accelerator pedal to the floor. When you are driving in 4th or 5th gear, the transmission downshifts to the lower gear under the following conditions: The vehicle slows down to a certain speed. You press the brake pedal.
10/07/29 12:43:23 31TK4620_482 Driving with the Paddle Shifters (Automatic Transmission Only) Starting in Second Gear Recommended Shift Points 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. Drive in the highest gear that lets the engine run and accelerate smoothly.
10/07/29 12:43:30 31TK4620_483 Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD ) System If equipped 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.
10/07/29 12:43:36 31TK4620_484 Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD ) System If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, park the vehicle and shift to Park (automatic), and let the engine idle until the indicator goes out. If the indicator does not go out, take your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked. Your vehicle still has normal frontwheel drive with vehicle stability assist (VSA), but does not have the advantages of SH-AWD.
10/07/29 12:43:45 31TK4620_485 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. If your vehicle has an automatic transmission, 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.
10/07/29 12:43:52 31TK4620_486 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 emergency brake assist system increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an emergency situation. The anti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering control when braking very hard. Check your brakes after driving through deep water. Apply the brakes moderately to see if they feel normal.
10/07/29 12:43:58 31TK4620_487 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. The electronic brake distribution (EBD) system, which is part of the ABS, also balances the front-to-rear braking distribution according to vehicle loading. You will feel a pulsation in the brake pedal when the ABS activates, and you may hear some noise.
10/07/29 12:44:04 31TK4620_488 Anti-lock Brakes (ABS) Important Safety Reminders ABS does not reduce the time or distance it takes to stop the vehicle. It only helps with the steering control during braking. Test your brakes as instructed on page 563 . If the brakes feel normal, drive slowly and have your vehicle repaired by your dealer as soon as possible. Avoid sudden hard braking which could cause the rear wheels to lock up and possibly lead to a loss of control.
10/07/29 12:44:12 31TK4620_489 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.
10/07/29 12:44:20 31TK4620_490 Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System On models with SH-AWD If there is a problem with the hill start assist system, the VSA system indicator comes on and stays on. The multi-information display shows a ‘‘CHECK HILL START ASSIST SYSTEM’’ message. On models with keyless access system Without VSA, your vehicle will have normal braking and cornering ability, but it will not have VSA traction and stability enhancement.
10/07/29 12:44:28 31TK4620_491 Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System VSA is turned on every time you start the engine, even if you turned it off the last time you drove the vehicle. 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.
10/07/29 12:44:33 31TK4620_492 Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA ), aka Electronic Stability Control (ESC), System Hill start assist may not prevent your vehicle from rolling downhill on a very steep or slippery slope, and will not operate on small inclines. Hill start assist is not a replacement for the parking brake. If parking your vehicle, ensure that the transmission is in park, and/or the parking brake is fully applied before exiting the vehicle.
10/07/29 12:44:41 31TK4620_493 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. Each tire has its own pressure sensor. If the air pressure of a tire becomes significantly low, the sensor in that tire immediately sends a signal that causes the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator in the instrument panel to come on.
10/07/29 12:44:49 31TK4620_494 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Refer to page 535 for tire inflation guidelines. If there is a problem with the TPMS, this indicator begins to flash. It stops flashing after approximately 1 minute, then stays on. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-information display (see page 491 ). Although your tire pressure is monitored, you must manually check the tire pressures monthly.
10/07/29 12:44:56 31TK4620_495 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) U.S. model Canadian model Each tire pressure is shown in PSI (U.S. models) or in kPa (Canadian models). * : Models equipped with the keyless access system have an engine start/stop button instead of an ignition switch. ON Mode is the equivalent of ON (II). For more information, see pages 178 and 181 . 490 Each tire has its own pressure sensor.
10/07/29 12:45:05 31TK4620_496 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) TPMS System Failure Canadian model If there is a problem with the TPMS, the tire pressure monitor shows a ‘‘TPMS ERROR’’ message and the tire pressure readings are not displayed. If this happens, you will first see a system warning message ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’ on the multi-information display. If there is a problem with the TPMS, you will see the above message on the multi-information display.
10/07/29 12:45:11 31TK4620_497 Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Changing a Tire with TPMS If you have a flat tire, the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator and tire monitor indicator will come on. Replace the indicated flat tire with the compact spare tire (see page 549 ).

10/07/29 12:47:04 31TK4620_514 Adding Engine Oil Recommended Engine Oil Oil is a major contributor to your engine’s performance and longevity. Always use a premium-grade 5W-20 detergent oil displaying the API Certification Seal. This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving, and that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s latest requirements. Acura Motor Oil is the preferred 5W-20 lubricant for your vehicle.
10/07/29 12:47:11 31TK4620_515 Adding Engine Oil, Changing the Engine Oil and Filter The oil viscosity or weight is provided on the container’s label. 5W-20 oil is formulated for yearround protection of your vehicle to improve cold weather starting and fuel economy. Ambient Temperature 510 Synthetic Oil You may use a synthetic motor oil if it meets the same requirements given for a conventional motor oil: it displays the API Certification Seal and it is the proper weight.
10/07/29 12:47:21 31TK4620_516 Changing the Engine Oil and Filter DRAIN BOLT 4. Install a new oil filter according to the instructions that come with it. Make sure to clean off any dirt and dust on the contacting surface of a new oil filter. WASHER 5. Put a new washer on the drain bolt, then reinstall the drain bolt. Tighten the drain bolt to: 29 lbf·ft (39 N·m , 4.0 kgf·m) OIL FILTER 2. Open the hood, and remove the engine oil fill cap.
10/07/29 12:47:30 31TK4620_517 Changing the Engine Oil and Filter, Engine Coolant 7. Reinstall the engine oil fill cap. Start the engine. The oil pressure indicator should go out within 5 seconds. If it does not, turn off the engine and check your work. Adding Engine Coolant RESERVE TANK 8. Let the engine run for several minutes, then check the drain bolt and oil filter for leaks. 9. Turn off the engine, let it sit for several minutes, then check the oil level on the dipstick. If necessary, add more oil.
10/07/29 12:47:40 31TK4620_518 Engine Coolant 4. The coolant level should be up to the base of the filler neck. Add coolant if it is low. If the reserve tank is completely empty, you should also check the coolant level in the radiator. Pour the coolant slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spill immediately; it could damage components in the engine compartment. Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray out, seriously scalding you. 5.
10/07/29 12:47:48 31TK4620_519 Windshield Washers Check the fluid level in the windshield washer reservoir at least monthly during normal use. On Canadian models If the washer fluid is low, a ‘‘LOW WASHER FLUID’’ message appears on the multi-information display. On U.S. models Fill the reservoir with a good-quality windshield washer fluid. This increases the cleaning capability and prevents freezing in cold weather.
10/07/29 12:47:56 31TK4620_520 Transmission Fluid Automatic Transmission Check the fluid level with the engine at normal operating temperature. 1. Park the vehicle on level ground. Start the engine, let it run until the radiator fan comes on, then shut off the engine. For accurate results, wait about 60 seconds (but no longer than 90 seconds) before doing step 2. UPPER MARK LOWER MARK DIPSTICK 3. Insert the dipstick all the way into the transmission securely as shown in the illustration. 4.
10/07/29 12:48:03 31TK4620_521 Transmission Fluid 5. If the level is below the lower mark, add fluid into the filler hole to bring it to the level between the upper and lower marks. Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spill immediately; it could damage components in the engine compartment. Always use Acura ATF DW-1 (automatic transmission fluid). 516 6. Insert the dipstick all the way back into the transmission securely as shown in the illustration.

10/07/29 12:50:26 31TK4620_539 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. Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
10/07/29 12:50:34 31TK4620_540 Tires Inflation Guidelines Keeping the tires properly inflated provides the best combination of handling, tread life, and riding comfort. Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) warns you when a tire pressure is low. See page 488 for more information on the TPMS. Use a gauge to measure the air pressure in each tire at least once a month.
10/07/29 12:50:49 31TK4620_541 Tires Recommended Tire Pressures The following chart shows the recommended cold tire pressures for most normal driving conditions. SH-AWD and SH-AWD TECH models Tire Size P245/45R18 96V TL and TECH models Tire Size P245/50R17 98V Cold Tire Pressure for Normal Driving Front: 32 psi (220 kPa , 2.2 kgf/cm ) 32 psi (220 kPa , Rear: 2.2 kgf/cm ) Optional on TECH models Tire Size P245/45R18 96V 536 Cold Tire Pressure for Normal Driving Front: 32 psi (220 kPa , 2.
10/07/29 12:51:00 31TK4620_542 Tires High Speed Driving We strongly recommend that you do not drive faster than the posted speed limits and conditions allow. If you ever drive in a sanctioned competitive event at sustained high speeds (over 118 mph or 190 km/h), be sure to adjust the cold tire pressures as shown below. If you do not, excessive heat can build up and cause sudden tire failure. SH-AWD and SH-AWD TECH models P245/45R18 96V Cold Tire Pressure for High Speed Driving Front: 33 psi (230 kPa , 2.
10/07/29 12:51:06 31TK4620_543 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.
10/07/29 12:51:15 31TK4620_544 Tires Tire Rotation Front Front (For Non-directional (For Directional Tires and Wheels) Tires and Wheels) When the tires are rotated, make sure the air pressures are checked. 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.
10/07/29 12:51:27 31TK4620_545 Tires Wheel and Tire Specifications Wheels: Installing improper tires on your vehicle can affect handling and stability. This can cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt or killed. Always use the size and type of tires recommended in this owner’s manual.

10/07/29 12:51:36 31TK4620_546 Tires Snow Tires If you mount snow tires on your vehicle, make sure they are radial tires of the same size and load range as original tires. Mount snow tires on all four wheels. The traction provided by snow tires on dry roads may be lower than your original tires. Check with the tire dealer for maximum speed recommendations. Tire Chains Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, we strongly recommend using this Quality Chain Corp.
10/07/29 12:51:43 31TK4620_547 Tires, Checking the Battery Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle. Wheels Clean the wheels as you would the rest of the exterior. Wash them with the same solution, and rinse them thoroughly. Aluminum alloy wheels have a protective clear-coat that keeps the aluminum from corroding and tarnishing.
10/07/29 12:51:50 31TK4620_548 Checking the Battery To see the battery label, remove the left side engine compartment cover (see page 508 ). If additional battery maintenance is needed, see your Acura dealer or a qualified technician. WARNING: Battery posts, terminals, and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds. Wash your hands after handling. The battery gives off explosive hydrogen gas during normal operation.
10/07/29 12:52:00 31TK4620_549 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.
10/07/29 12:52:03 31TK4620_550 Interior Care Leather Vacuum dirt and dust from the leather frequently. Pay close attention to the pleats and seams. Clean the leather with a soft cloth dampened with a 90% water and 10% neutral wool detergent solution. Then buff it with a clean, dry cloth. Remove any dust or dirt on leather surfaces immediately.

10/07/29 12:53:04 31TK4620_559 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 or on models with keyless access system, press the engine start/stop button to set START Mode (see page 178 ): You hear nothing, or almost nothing. The engine’s starter motor does not operate at all, or operates very slowly.
10/07/29 12:53:10 31TK4620_560 If the Engine Won’t Start Turn the ignition switch to the START (III) position or on models with keyless access system, press the engine start/stop button to set START Mode (see page 178 ). If the headlights do not dim, check the condition of the fuses. If the fuses are OK, there is probably something wrong with the electrical circuit for the ignition switch or starter motor. You will need a qualified technician to determine the problem. See Emergency Towing on page 572 .
10/07/29 12:53:16 31TK4620_561 If the Engine Won’t Start Are you using the proper starting procedure? Refer to Starting the Engine on pages 461 and 463 . You may need to hold the start/ stop button down or hold the key in the START (III) position until the engine starts. It can be held for up to 15 seconds. 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 565 ).
10/07/29 12:53:25 31TK4620_562 Jump Starting Although this seems like a simple procedure, you should take several precautions. A battery can explode if you do not follow the correct procedure, seriously injuring anyone nearby. Keep all sparks, open flames, and smoking materials away from the battery. If a battery sits in extreme cold, the electrolyte inside can f reeze. Attempting to jump start with a f rozen battery can cause it to rupture. 2.
10/07/29 12:53:34 31TK4620_563 Jump Starting 7. Start the vehicle. If the starter motor still operates slowly, check that the jumper cables have good metal-to-metal contact. 8. Once the vehicle is running, disconnect the negative cable from your vehicle, then from the booster battery. Disconnect the positive cable from your vehicle, and then from the booster battery. 9. Install the battery terminal cover. The numbers in the illustration show you the order to connect the jumper cables. 4.
10/07/29 12:53:42 31TK4620_564 If the Engine Overheats The pointer of the vehicle’s temperature gauge should stay in the midrange. If it climbs to the red mark, you should determine the reason (hot day, driving up a steep hill, etc.). You will also see a ‘‘WATER TEMP HOT’’ message on the multiinformation display (see page 76 ). Driving with the temperature gauge pointer at the red mark can cause serious damage to the engine. Do not open the hood if steam is coming out. 1.
10/07/29 12:53:49 31TK4620_565 If the Engine Overheats 6. If you don’t find an obvious leak, check the coolant level in the radiator reserve tank. Add coolant if the level is below the MIN mark (see Adding Engine Coolant on page 512 ). 7. If there was no coolant in the reserve tank, you may need to add coolant to the radiator. Let the engine cool down until the pointer reaches the middle of the temperature gauge, or lower, before checking the radiator.
10/07/29 12:53:59 31TK4620_566 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. 2. Let the vehicle sit for a minute.
10/07/29 12:54:06 31TK4620_567 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 have recently refueled your vehicle, the indicator coming on could be due to a loose or missing fuel fill cap.
10/07/29 12:54:14 31TK4620_568 Malfunction Indicator Lamp, Brake System Indicator To check if they are set, turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position (set the power mode to ON, on models with keyless access system), without starting the engine.

10/07/29 12:56:51 31TK4620_588 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. Traction The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
10/07/29 12:56:56 31TK4620_589 DOT Tire Quality Grading (U.S. Vehicles) Temperature The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
10/07/29 12:57:07 31TK4620_590 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. Below 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).
10/07/29 12:57:17 31TK4620_591 Tire Labeling Tire Identification Number (TIN) The tire identification number (TIN) is a group of numbers and letters that look like the following example. TIN is located on the sidewall of the tire. DOT B97R FW6X 2202 DOT −This indicates that the tire meets all requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation. B97R −Manufacturer’s identification mark. FW6X −Tire type code. 2202 586 −Date of manufacture.
10/07/29 12:57:24 31TK4620_592 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.
10/07/29 12:57:29 31TK4620_593 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.
10/07/29 12:57:37 31TK4620_594 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.
10/07/29 12:57:46 31TK4620_595 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.
10/07/29 12:57:53 31TK4620_596 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.
10/07/29 12:58:01 31TK4620_597 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.
10/07/29 12:58:06 31TK4620_598 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 (automatic) or 5th (manual). 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.
