Event Data Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR).
The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near
crash-like situations, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assi st in understanding how a vehicle’s
systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related
to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator
and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the
circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data
are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. Howeve r, other parties, such as law
enforcement, could co mbine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data rout inely acquired during a crash
investigation.
To read data recorded by an ED R, special equipment is required,
and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the
vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can re ad the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.

Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with se rvice-related devices that record
information about powertrain perfo rmance. The data can be used
to verify emissions law requirem ents and/or help technicians
diagnose and solve service problems . It may also be combined with
data from other sources for research purposes, but it remains
confidential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is
uploaded to Acura upon vehicle start up.

Quick Reference Guide
Auto Engine Stop/Start
Your vehicle’s gasoline engine will automatically stop and start during vehicle operation as needed to meet driving and battery conditions.
These are some examples that could cause the gasoline engine to automatically start.
In the following cases, however, Auto Engine Stop may not activate.
●When the Integrated Dynamics System is in SPORT+ mode or TRACK mode.●The vehicle momentarily needs additional power for aggressive acceleration, or driving uphill or at high speed.●The climate control system is in heavy use.●The High Voltage battery temperature is high or low.●The High Voltage battery state of charge is low.●The engine coolant temperature is low.●When the door is opened after releasing seatbelt.●When the shift position is in M (Manual) mode.
About Your Vehicle’s Limited Operating Temperature
If the outside temperature is about -4°F (-20°C), some operation might be limited.
The limited operation is listed below:
2 High Voltage Battery (P94)
2 Dual Clutch Transmission (P329)
2 Shifting (P330)
Sounds Unique to th e SPORT HYBRID SH-AWD ® System
When you first start driving this vehicle, you likely will hear some unfamiliar sounds, particular ly when you first turn on the power system,
while driving, and just after parking. Some of these sounds are unique to this ve hicle‘s powertrain, fuel, and climate control systems; others
are similar to sounds generated by conventional automobiles that typically are masked by louder noises absent from a vehicle of this design.
These sounds are not a cause for concern, and you will soon recognize them as normal and thus be able to detect any new or unus ual noise
should one develop.
About a system to cool the High Voltage battery using the climate control system.●The system will not be activated when the defroster is ON.●When the outside temperature is in extreme hot or cold condit ion, the system may not provide sufficient cooling performance to the
High Voltage battery due to the protection of the electric A/C compressor.
●When the system is active, the climate control system may not work sufficiently.
