Handling the Unexpected
■Next thing to do
1.Check that the cooling fan is operating and
turn the power system off once the
temperature gauge pointer comes down.
u If the cooling fan is not operating,
immediately turn the power system off.
2. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect
the coolant level and check the cooling
system components for leaks.
2 Checking the Coolant P. 382
uIf the coolant level in the reserve tank is
low, or no coolant in the tank, check that
the radiator is cool. Cover the reserve
tank cap with a heavy cloth and open the
cap. Add coolant until it reaches the
MAX mark, and put the cap back on.
■Last thing to do
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, turn the power system on and check the
temperature gauge. If the temperature gauge pointer has gone down, resume
driving. If it has not gone down, contact an authorized Acura NSX dealer for repairs.
1How to Handle Overheating
If the coolant is leaking, contact an authorized Acura
NSX dealer for repairs.
Use water as an emergency/temporary measure only.
Have an authorized Acura NSX dealer flush the
system with proper antifree ze as soon as possible.
3WARNING
Removing the reserve tank cap while the
engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray
out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool
down before removing the reserve tank
cap.
