If the doors are frozen shut, use warm water around the door edges to melt any ice. Do not
try to force them open, as this can damage the rubber trim around the doors. When done,
wipe dry to avoid further freezing.

Interior Checks
Store or secure all items

on board properly.
Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
Do not place anything in the footwells. Make sure to secure the floor mats.
If you have any animals on board, do not let them move freely in the vehicle.
Securely close and lock both doors.
Adjust your seating position, mirrors, and steering wheel properly.
Everyone in the vehicle must fasten their seat belt.
Make sure that the indicators in the instrument panel come on when you start the vehicle,
and go off soon after.
Improper accessories or modifications can affect your vehicle’s handling,
stability, and performance, and cause a crash in which you can be seriously hurt
or killed.
Follow all instructions in the vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories and
modifications.
WARNING
Maximum Load Limit
Carrying too much cargo or improperly storing it can affect your vehicle’s handling, stability,
stopping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.
The maximum load for your vehicle is 507 lbs (230 kg). See the Tire and Loading Information
label on the driver’s doorjamb. The maximum load in the trunk is 100 lbs (45 kg).
The vehicle maximum load includes the total weight of all occupants, cargo,
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Below are the steps for
determining the correct load limit:
1. Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
2.
Determine the combined weight of the driver

and passengers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
3.
Subtract the combined weight of the driver

and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
4.
The resulting figure equals

the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For
example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in
your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 -
750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
High Voltage Battery Maintenance
All batteries discharge if not used. For best battery life and capacity, drive your vehicle for at
least 30 minutes, at least once every three months. Try to avoid parking under direct summer
sun. For battery maintenance while storing the vehicle, see page 207.

Overloading or improper loading can affect handling and stability and cause a crash
in which you can be hurt or killed.
Follow all load limits and other loading guidelines in this guide.
WARNING
The headlight aim on your vehicle was set by the factory and does not need to be adjusted.
However, if you regularly carry heavy items in the cargo area, have the aiming readjusted at
your authorized Acura NSX dealer or by a qualified technician.
5.
Determine the combined weight of luggage and car

go being loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in
step 4.
6.
If your vehicle

will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your
vehicle. Consult the Owner’s Manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and
luggage load capacity of your vehicle.
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 (GAWR). Both are on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Label Example
Your vehicle is not designed to tow a trailer. Attempting to do so can void your warranties.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTEDHANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Emergency Towing
This vehicle requires flat bed towing. Call a professional towing service if you need to tow
your vehicle. The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are
not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.
NOTICE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low, the low
tire pressure indicator comes on and a message appears on the
multi-information display. Roll the right selector wheel on the
steering wheel to view the tire pressure monitor.
n What to Do
Stop your
vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to the
specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated tire can
fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

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.

SPECIFICATIONSMAINTENANCE
• If possible, remove the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area, remove covering, and
periodically run the engine until it reaches full operating temperature (the cooling fan cycles
on and off twice). Preferably, do this once a month.
•
To maintain the High V

oltage battery, drive your vehicle for more than 30 minutes at least
once every three months.
If road conditions are not suitable or desirable for driving, the following alternate procedure can
be used to maintain the vehicle’s High Voltage battery if local laws permit idling:
1.
Remove

the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area to prevent carbon monoxide
accumulation.
2.
Depress the brake pedal and pr

ess the ENGINE START/STOP button as you normally would
to start the vehicle.
3.
Allow the vehicle

to run for 30 minutes. Time spent at idle stop still counts as part of this
30-minute run.
Paint Care
Your vehicle’s paint requires up to 60 days from the production date to fully cure. During this
time, avoid applying any wax or paint sealant-type products, as they could hinder the curing
process and affect the paint’s durability.
You may polish the paint during these 60 days if the polishes do not contain any wax or paint
sealant ingredients. Use only clean, high-quality microfiber towels or pads, as they are softer
material and have less chance of scratching the finish. It is absolutely necessary to keep the
microfiber towels or pads properly cleaned and maintained before using on your vehicle.
For more information, contact an authorized Acura NSX dealer. n
