HANDLING THE UNEXPECTEDHANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Tire Repair Kit
If a tire has a small puncture, you can use the tire repair kit to temporarily repair it. The puncture
must be smaller than 3/16-inch (4 mm) and not in the tire sidewall. Go to a authorized Acura
NSX dealer to have the full-size tire permanently repaired or replaced.
n
Before Repairing

the Tire
•
Park the v

ehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface.
•
Make sure the

vehicle is in Park (P), and apply the parking brake.
•
Turn on the hazard warning

lights, and turn the power system off. n
Getting Ready to R

epair the Tire
1. Open the hatch.
2.
Loosen the tool box tie-downs and

remove the tool box
lid.
3.
Take the kit out of the tool

box.
4.
Place the kit face up on

flat ground near the punctured
tire and away from traffic. Do not place the kit on its side.
Follow the instructions in the kit to repair the tire.Lid Tie Down
Tire Repair Kit
Do not use an unapproved puncture-repairing agent other than the one provided in the kit
that came with your vehicle. If a different agent is used, you may permanently damage the
tire pressure sensor.

Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good condition
with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
n
Inflation Guidelines
Properly inflated tir

es provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and comfort.
Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page 127) for the specified
pressure.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are
more likely to fail from overheating.
Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards, and wear
unevenly.
Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the others,
check the pressure with a tire gauge.
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add or release air until the
specified pressure is reached. If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi
(30-40 kPa, 0.3-0.5 kgf/cm
2) higher than checked when cold.
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in all tires,
including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1-2 psi
(10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.

n Inspection Guidelines
Every time you inflate the tir
es, check for the following:
•
Any damage to

tires, including bumps, bulges, cuts, splits, or cracks in the side or tread.
Remove any foreign objects and inspect for air leaks. Replace tires if you see fabric or cord.
•
Uneven or excessiv

e tread wear. Have an authorized Acura NSX dealer check the wheel
alignment.
•
Cracks or other damage around the val

ve stems.
n
Wear Indicators
The groov

e where the wear indicator is located is 1/16 inch
(1.6 mm) shallower than elsewhere on the tire. If the tread
has worn so low that the indicator is exposed, replace the tire.
Worn out tires have poor traction on wet roads.
Example of a wear indicator mark
Using tires that are excessively worn or improperly inflated can cause a crash in
which you can be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this owner’s manual regarding tire inflation and
maintenance.

information.

n Tire and Wheel Replacement
Replace y
our tires with radials of the same size, load range, speed rating, and maximum
cold tire pressure rating (as shown on the tire’s sidewall). Using tires of a different size or
construction can cause certain vehicle systems to work incorrectly. It is best to replace all
four tires at the same time. If that isn’t possible, replace the front or rear tires in pairs.
If you change or replace a wheel, make sure that the wheel’s specifications match those of
the original wheels. Only use TPMS-specified wheels approved for your vehicle.
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 the owner’s manual.
WARNING
n Tire Service Life
The life of y
our tires is dependent on many factors, including 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 regular inspections and inflation pressure maintenance, it is recommended
that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach five years old. All tires,
including the spare, should be removed from service after 10 years from the date of
manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear. n
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy

or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow tires, or
tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles when driving.
For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires, and
mount them to all four wheels.
n
Tire Chains
Tire chains can be used onl
y in conjunction with winter tires. Install tire chains on the rear
tires only.
For 295/30R20 (97V) winter tires: Auto-trac 232405
For 305/30R20 (103W) XL winter tires: K-Summit K-44
Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the brake lines or
suspension.
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the brake
lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire chains.
WARNING
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.

Event Data Recorders
This

vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR
is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment
or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems
performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety
systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle
is designed to record such data as:
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which crashes
and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data
(e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as
