■Sequential Mode Operation1Sequential Mode Operation
Each paddle shift operation makes a single gear change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle
shifter before pulling it again for the next gear.
If the sequential mode gear selection indicator blinks
when you try to shift up or down, this means your
vehicle speed is not in its allowable gear range.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift
down while the indi cator is blinking.
In Manual mode, to pr ioritize the engine
performance enhancement, the transmission may
not allow for shifting up while the engine speed is
low.

steering wheel, and helps support the vehicle’s stability and performance during
cornering.

The agile handling assist ca nnot enhance stability in
all driving situations. You still need to drive and corner at speeds appropriate for the conditions and
always leave a sufficient margin of safety.
When the VSA ® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, the agil e handling assist does not

You may hear a sound coming from the front of the car while the agile handling assi st is activated. This is
normal.

uuWhen DrivinguTire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Driving
To select the tire pressure monitor, set the
power mode to ON, and roll the right selector
wheel until you see the tire pressure screen.
The pressure for each tire is displayed in PSI
(U.S.) or kPa (Canada).
Tire Pressures Low is displayed when a tire
has significantly low pressure. The specific tire
is displayed on the screen.
Tire Pressure Too Low For High Speed
Driving is displayed when driving at an
extremely high speed and one or more tires
are underinflated.
uDecelerate and drive your vehicle until
the message disappears.
■Tire Pressure Monitor1Tire Pressure Monitor The pressure displayed on the driver information
interface can be slightly different from the actual
pressure as measured by a gauge. If there is a significant di fference between the two values, or if
the low tire pressure/TPMS indicator and the message
on the driver information in terface do not go off after
you have inflated the tire to the specified pressure,
have the system checked by an authorized Acura NSX
dealer.
Tire Pressure Monitor Problem may appear on the
driver information interface if there is a problem with
the TPMS. Please have the system checked by an

uuWhen DrivinguHigh Voltage Battery
Driving
High Voltage Battery
The High Voltage battery gradually discharges when the vehicle is not in use. As a
result, if your vehicle is parked for an ex tended period of time, the battery level may
get low. Keeping the High Vo ltage battery’s charge level low can shorten its life.
To maintain the High Voltage battery, driv e your vehicle for more than 30 minutes
to recharge it at least once every three months. Also, try to park in shaded areas
instead of direct sunlight. 2 Storage P. 428

uuBrakinguBrake System
Driving
Your vehicle is equipped with disc brakes at all four wheels. The brake assist system
increases the stopping force when you depress the brake pedal hard in an
emergency situation. The an ti-lock brake system (ABS) helps you retain steering
control when brak ing very hard.
2 Brake Assist System P. 363
2 Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) P. 362
■ Brake squeal
To satisfy the performance under a wide range of driving conditions, a high-
performance braking system is equipped on your vehicle. You may hear the brake
squeal under certain conditions, such as vehicle speed, deceleration, humidity, and
so on. This is not a malfunction.
■Foot Brake1Foot Brake
Check the brakes after driving through deep water,
or if there is a buildup of road surface water. If
necessary, dry the brakes by lightly depressing the
pedal several times. If you hear a continuous me tallic friction sound when
applying the brakes, this is caused by the brake wear
indicator rubbing on the brake rotor and indicates
that the brake pads need to replaced. Have your
vehicle checked by an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
If you hear only an occasion al squeak or squeal when
you initially apply the brake pedal, this may be normal
and caused by high frequen cy vibration of the brake
pads against the rotating brake disc.
Constantly using the brake pedal while going down a
long hill builds up heat, which reduces the brake
effectiveness. Apply regene rative braking by taking
your foot off the accelera tor pedal and downshifting
to a lower gear.
Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving, as it will lightly apply the brakes and cause
them to lose effectiveness over time and reduce pad
life. It will also conf use drivers behind you.

The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see
the corner ends of the bumper or what is underneath the bumper. Its unique le ns also makes objects
appear closer or farther than they actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing
up. Certain conditions (such as weather, lighting, and
high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do
not rely on the rearview display which does not give
you all information about conditions at the back of
your vehicle.
If the camera lens is cove red with dirt or moisture,
use a soft, moist cloth to keep the lens clean and free of debris.
You can change the Fixed Guideline and Dynamic
