Safety Precautions
Some of the most important safety precautions are listed below; however,
we cannot warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing
maintenance. Only you can decide whether or not you should perform a given task.
Maintenance Safety
•  To reduce  the possibility  of fire  or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and  flames 
away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
•  Never leave rags,  towels, or other  flammable  objects under  the hood.
•  To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not
gasoline.
•  Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or
compressed air.
•  Do not run the engine in confined spaces where carbon monoxide gas can
accumulate.
Vehicle Safety
•  The vehicle must be stationary, and parked on level ground with the parking
brake set and the engine off.
•  Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
•  Be aware that moving parts can injure you.

Maintenance, replacement, or repair of emissions control devices and systems
may be done by any automotive repair establishment or individuals using
parts that are certified to EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to perform maintenance on the
maintenance main items marked with # will not void your emissions warranties.
However, all maintenance services should be performed in accordance with the
intervals indicated by the multi-information display.

Engine Oil
Park the vehicle on level ground, and wait approximately three minutes after
turning the engine off before you check the oil.
Checking the Oil
1. Remove the dipstick (orange loop).
2. Wipe the dipstick with a clean cloth or paper
towel.
3. Insert the dipstick all the way back into its hole.
4. Remove the dipstick again, and check the level. It
should be between the upper and lower marks.
Add oil if necessary.
Recommended Engine Oil
•  Genuine Acura Motor Oil
•  Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certification Seal on the
container
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving and
that it meets the American Petroleum Institute’s
latest requirements.
Use Genuine Acura Motor Oil or another
commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for the
ambient temperature as shown.
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certification Seal
and is of the specified viscosity grade.

Ambient temperature
Adding Oil
1. Unscrew and remove the engine oil fill cap.
2. Add oil slowly.
3. Reinstall the engine oil fill cap, and tighten it
securely.
4. Wait for three minutes and recheck the engine
oil dipstick.

in leaks and engine damage.
NOTICE

Resetting the Engine Oil Life If you change or replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the
engine oil life. Use the Info and SEL/RESET buttons to make selections in the
multi-information display.
1. Select Customize Settings.
2. Select Maintenance Info.
3. Select Reset. The service
code disappears and the oil
life returns to 100%.
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results in the system
showing incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious mechanical
problems.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that you
may have about the vehicle.
Q: How  do I set the vehicle clock?
A: For vehicles without navigation, see page 44. For vehicles with navigation, the
time is automatically set using GPS signals.
Q: Why  doesn’t the vehicle start  when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button?
A: The brake pedal must be pressed to start the engine.
Q: What is  the AUTO setting  on my headlight lever? 
A: When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q: Only  the driver’s  door unlocks  when I shift to Park (P). Can  all doors unlock? 
A: You can change door lock or unlock settings in the multi-information display
using the Customize Settings menus. See page 27.
Q: Why  won’t the driver’s  door unlock  when I grab the door handle,  even though  the 
keyless  access remote is  within range?
A: If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q: After my battery  was disconnected  or went  dead,  the  audio system is  asking for a 
code.  Where  do I find  this?
A: In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle and the audio
system, and press and hold the power button until the system reactivates.
Q: Why can’t I  operate Pandora  through the audio system?
A: Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth® Audio. Make sure Pandora mode is
selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter. Some
phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q: Is my phone compatible  with Bluetooth features?
A: Visit www.acura.com/handsfreelink (U.S) or www.handsfreelink.ca (Canada) to
check phone compatibility for Bluetooth® Audio, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®,
