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
Rear: 305/30R20 (103W) XL
●Auto-trac 232405*1
●K-Summit K-44*2
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.
Follow all instruction s in this owner’s
manual regarding the selection and use of
tire chains.

uuCleaning uExterior Care
Maintenance
The inside lenses of exterior lights (headlig hts, brake lights, etc.) may fog temporarily
if you have driven in the rain. Dew condensation also may build up inside the lenses
when there is a significan t enough difference between the ambient and inside lens
temperatures (similar to vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These
conditions are natural processes, not stru ctural design problems in the exterior
lights.
Lens design characteristics may result in mo isture developing on the light lens frame
surfaces. This also is not a malfunction.
However, if you see large amounts of wa ter accumulation, or large water drops
building up inside the lenses, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized Acura
NSX dealer.
Keep the brake pads and rotors free of subs tances that are either abrasive or oil
based, as these substances can reduce braking power.
When driving in the presence of salt and/ or sand, briefly wash the rotor/pad surfaces
with low-pressure water, and then brake th e system dry to help maintain the brake
system’s performance.
Brake maintenance requires specialized kn owledge. We recommend maintenance
to be carried out by an au thorized Acura NSX dealer.

Maintenance
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.

uuStorage uVehicle Storage
Maintenance
• To maintain the High Voltage battery, driv e your vehicle for more than 30 minutes
at least once every three months.
If road conditions are not suitable or de sirable for driving, the following alternate
procedure can be used to maintain the vehi cle's High Voltage battery if local idling
by-laws permit:
1. Remove the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area to prevent carbon
monoxide accumulation.
2 Carbon Monoxide Gas P. 67
2.Depress the brake pedal and press 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.

Handling the Unexpected
If a Tire Goes Flat
Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
If the tire has a large cut or is otherwise severely damaged, you will need to have the
vehicle towed. If the tire only has a sma ll puncture, from a small nail for instance,
you can use the temporary tire repair kit so that you can drive to the nearest service
station for a more permanent repair.
If a tire goes flat while driving, grasp the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually
to reduce speed. Then stop in a safe place.
1. Park the vehicle on a firm, level, and non-slippery surface. Apply the parking
brake.
2. Put the transmission into
(P.
3. Turn on the hazard warning lights an d set the power mode to VEHICLE OFF.
1Temporarily Repairing a Flat Tire
The kit should not be used in the following situations.
Instead, contact an authorized Acura NSX dealer or a
roadside assistant to have the vehicle towed.
•The tire sealant has expired.•More than one tire is punctured.•The puncture or cut is larger than 3/16 inch (4 mm).•The tire side wall is da maged or the puncture is
outside the contact area.
•Damage has been caused by driving with the tire
extremely under inflated.
•The tire bead is no longer seated.•The rim is damaged.
Do not remove a nail or screw that punctured the
tire. If you remove it from the tire, you may not be
able to repair the puncture using the kit.
NOTICE
Do not use a puncture-repairing agent other than the
one provided in the kit that came with your vehicle. If
a different agent is used, you may permanently
damage the tire pressure sensor.
When the puncture is:Kit Use
Smaller than 3/16 inch
(4 mm)Yes
Larger than 3/16 inch (4 mm)No
