TABLE OF CONTENTS
*if equipped
This Owner’s Guide is intended to help you quickly get acquainted with your 2017 Acura NSX. It
provides basic information and instructions on technology and convenience features, as well as
emergency procedures and how to get assistance.
This guide is for vehicles sold in the United States and Canada. It covers all NSX models, so you
may find descriptions of features and equipment that are not in your vehicle.
Images throughout this guide are from U.S. vehicles and represent features and equipment that
are available on some, but not all, models. Images shown in this guide should be considered
examples and used for demonstration purposes only.
This guide is not intended to be a substitute for the Owner’s Manual. The Owner Information
CD enclosed in your information kit includes the Owner’s Manual, Navigation Manual, and
vehicle and tire warranties in electronic format. This information can be viewed on a computer
(PC
or Mac platform) and saved or printed for
your reference. In addition, you can visit owners.
acura.com (U.S.) or myacura.ca (Canada) to view the complete and most current information.
If you are the first registered owner of your vehicle, you may request a complimentary printed
copy of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation Manual, or Vehicle Warranty within the first six months
of vehicle purchase. To request a copy, visit owners.acura.com and create or log in to your
account. In Canada, please request a copy from your authorized Acura NSX dealer.
