Before Driving
Driving Preparation
Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on th e windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheel s, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 407
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.
• Check the front bumper duct s and side intercooler ducts for mud, leaves, and

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.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite
flammable materials left und er the hatch, causing a
fire. If you’ve parked y our vehicle for an extended

uuBefore Driving uHigh-Performance Driving
Driving
High-performance driving requires special skills, knowledge and experience, as the
safety risks are greatly increased when the NSX is operated at its upper performance
abilities. As a responsible NSX driver, you should not drive above your skill limits or
training, even if the NSX’s performance le vels would otherwise allow you to do so.
If you intend to engage in high-perform ance driving, Acura strongly recommends
that:
• You first obtain appropriate, professional training
• Turn off any devices or systems that may distract you from the driving task
High-performance driving in general, and the use of TRACK mode and Launch
Control in particular, puts very high loads on the NSX and its components, and
results in greater wear and tear on the vehicl e. Because of these high loads, if your
NSX is not in top condition or if certain components, such as the brakes or tires, have
undue wear, those components could experience a loss of performance, or fail,
when engaging in high-performance driv ing. Therefore, Acura highly recommends
that you undertake more proactive and fre quent maintenance than that required
under normal use and have your vehicle inspected at an authorized Acura NSX
dealer (and all necessary repairs or adju stments made) before you engage in any
high-performance driving. In addition to any required maintenance, there are
certain NSX specific items and protocols th at you should pay special attention to
before, during and after engaging in any high-performance driving. Ultimately, the
decision whether to engage in high-performance driving is yours, and depending on
your NSX’s condition and prior usage, the items and protocols listed below may or
may not be sufficient to ensure a safe driving experience.
BEFORE DRIVING
•With the vehicle parked on level gro und, properly bleed brake system after
replacing with Acura Heavy Duty Brake Fluid DOT 4 or equivalent
• Inspect brake pad thickness an d replace if 6.0 mm or less
