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 th e vehicle is being stored indoors).
• To maintain the low-voltage 12-volt batte ry, 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 th e ground to prevent tire flat spotting.
2 Handling of the Jack P. 444
• Support the front wiper blade 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.

7. Turn the power system on.
uKeep the power system on while

8. Turn the air compressor on to inflate the
tire.
uThe compressor starts injecting sealant and air into the tire.
9. After the air pressure reaches 32 psi (220
kPa), turn off the compressor.
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 gauge, 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.
3WARNING
Running the engine with the vehicle in an
enclosed or even partly enclosed area can
cause a rapid build-up of toxic carbon
monoxide.
Breathing this colorless, odorless gas can
cause unconsciousness and even death.
Only run the engine to power the air
compressor with th e vehicle outdoors.

• Greater than 19 psi (130 kPa), but less than
32 psi (220 kPa):
Turn the air compressor on to inflate the
tire until the tire pressure reaches 32 psi (220 kPa).

Then drive carefully for five more minutes
or until you reach the nearest service station
if less than five minutes away.
Do not exceed 50 mph (80 km/h).
uYou should repeat this procedure as long
as the air pressure is within this range.

the Flat Tire P. 434
2. Place the kit, face up, on flat ground near
the flat tire, away from traffic. Do not
place the kit on its side.
3. Remove the valve cap from the tire valve
stem.
4. Attach the air compressor hose onto the
tire valve stem.
Screw the air compressor hose until it is
tightly connected to the valve stem.
5. Plug in the compressor to the accessory
power socket.
uBe careful not to pinch the cord in a
