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.
