your vehicle best and can provide
competent, ef f icient service.

mandatory to keep your warranties
in effect. Maintenance may be done
by any qualif ied service f acility or

automotive service. Make sure to
have the service f acility or person
reset the display as previously

We recommend using Acura parts
and fluids whenever you have
maintenance done. These are
manuf actured to the same high-
quality standards as the original
components, so you can be conf ident
of their performance and durability.
