Maintenance
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all-season marked M+S tires, snow tires,
or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles when
driving.
Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent skidding.
Use tire chains, snow tires, or all-season tires when necessary or according to the law.
When mounting, refer to the following points.
For winter tires:
• Mount the tires to all four wheels.
For tire chains:
• Install them on the rear tires only.
• Because your vehicle has limited tire clea rance, we strongly recommend using the
chains listed below:
*1:Tire chains to be used only on optional 295/30R20 (97V) winter tires.
*2:Tire chains to be used only on optional 305/30R20 (103W) XL winter tires.
• Follow the chain manufactur er’s instruction when installing. Mount them as
tightly as you can.
• Check that the chains do not touch the brake lines or suspension.
• Drive slowly.
Recommended Winter Tires:
●Michelin Alpin PA4
Front: 245/35R19 (93W) XL
Rear: 295/30R20 (97V)
●Pirelli SottoZero 3
Front: 245/35R19 (93W) XL

1 Winter Tires
NOTICE
Traction devices that are th e 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.
When tire chains are mounted, follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructi ons regarding vehicle
operational limits.
If your vehicle is equipped with summer tires, be
aware that these tires are not designed for winter
driving conditions. For more information, contact an
authorized Acura NSX dealer.
3WARNING
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.

uuChecking and Maintaining Tires uCold Weather Driving
Maintenance
Cold Weather Driving
Summer Only tires and Ultra High Performan ce (UHP) tires are very sensitive to
ambient temperatures and are designed to be used at temperatures above 45°F
(7°C). If the vehicle is operated with Summer Only tires or UHP tires at temperatures
below 45°F (7°C), the tires will provide decreasing amounts of grip and other
performance attributes. If the vehicle is operated with Summer Only tires or UHP
tires at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C), th e tire tread may lose their elasticity and
become brittle, resulting in permanent damage to the tread. A damaged tire may
fail during use. Therefore, if you operate the vehicle when ambient temperatures are
below 45°F (7°C), we recommend that you install other tires (e.g., mud+snow,
winter) that are designed to provide appropriate performance attributes under the
anticipated conditions.1 Cold Weather Driving
3WARNING
Use of Summer Only tires or Ultra High
Performance tires at temperatures below
45°F (7°C) may lead to a loss of
performance and control, which could
result in a crash, se rious injury or death.

Storage
Vehicle Storage
If you need to park your vehicle for an extended period (more than one month),
there are several things you should do to prepare it for storage. This helps reduce
possible deterioration of vehicle components and overall condition, which allows
you to get the vehicle back on the road with minimal delay. These are:
• If possible, store your NSX in a garage or enclosed area.
• Fill the fuel tank completely.
• Change the engine oil and filter.
• Wash and dry the exterior completely.
• Clean the interior. Make sure the carpeti ng, floor mats, etc., are completely dry.
• Put the transmission in
(P.
Release the parking brake.
• Leave one window open slightly (if the vehicle is being stored indoors).
• To maintain the low-voltage 12-volt battery, connect it to an accessory battery
charger. For more information on how to maintain your 12-volt battery, consult
an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
2 Checking the 12-Volt Battery P. 417
•If the vehicle is to be stored for a longer period of time, it should be supported on
jack stands to raise the tires off the ground to prevent tire flat spotting.
2Handling of the Jack P. 444
•Support the front wiper blad e arms with a folded towel or rag so they do not
touch the windshield.
• Cover the vehicle with a “breathable” co ver, one made from a porous material
such as cotton. Nonporous materials (suc h as plastic sheeting) may trap moisture,
which can damage the paint.
• If possible, remove the vehicle from th e garage or enclosed area, remove
covering, and periodically run the engi ne until it reaches full operating
temperature (the cooling fa n cycles on and off twice).
Preferably, do this once a month.
