1Injecting Sealant and Air
NOTICE
Do not operate the temporary tire repair kit compressor
for more than 15 minutes. The compressor can overheat
and become permanently damaged.
Until the sealant injection is complete, the pressure
shown on the pressure gauge will appear higher than
actual. After the sealant injection is complete the
pressure will drop and then begi n to rise again as the tire
is inflated with air. This is normal. To accurately measure
the air pressure using the ga uge, turn the air compressor
off only after the sealan t injection is complete.
If the required air pressure is not reached within 15
minutes, the tire may be too severely damaged for
the kit to provide the necessa ry seal and your vehicle
will need to be towed.
See an authorized Acura NSX dealer for a replacement
sealant bottle and proper disposal of an empty bottle.

The ENGINE START/STOP button may be used to turn the power system off due to
an emergency situation even while driving. If you must turn the power system off,
do either of the following operations:
• Press and hold the ENGINE START/STOP button for about two seconds.
• Firmly press the ENGINE START/STOP button three times.
The steering wheel will not lock. However, because turning off the engine disables
the power assist the engine provides to the steering and braking systems, it will
require significantly more physical effort an d time to steer and slow the vehicle. Use
both feet on the brake pedal to slow down the vehicle and stop immediately in a
safe place.
The gear position auto matically changes to
(P after the vehicle comes to a complete
stop. Then, the power mode changes to VEHICLE OFF.
