Controls
Automatic lighting control can be used when
the power mode is in ON.
When the light switch is in AUTO, the
headlights and other exterior lights will switch
on and off automatica lly depending on the
ambient brightness.
The headlights come on when you unlock a
door in dark areas with the headlight switch in
AUTO .
u Once you lock the door, the headlights
will go off.
■Automatic Operation (automatic lighting control)1Automatic Operation (aut omatic lighting control)
We recommend that you tu rn on the lights manually
when driving at night, in a de nse fog, or in dark areas
such as long tunnels or parking facilities.
The light sensor is in the location shown below.
Do not cover this light sensor with anything;
otherwise, the automatic lighting system may not
work properly.
Adjust the auto light sensitivity as follows:

Driving
When Driving
Turning on the Power
1.Make sure the parkin g brake is applied.
u The electric parking brake indicator
comes on for 15 seconds when you pull
up the electric parking brake switch.
2. Depress the brake pedal.1Turning on the Power
Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when
starting the power system.
The engine is harder to st art in cold weather and in
thinner air found at altit udes above 8,000 feet (2,400
meters).
When turning on the power system in cold weather,
turn off all electrical accessories such as the lights,
climate control system, and rear defogger in order to
reduce 12-volt battery drain.
If the exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can
smell exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Acura NSX dealer. There
may be a problem with the engine or exhaust system.

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 significant enough differe nce between the ambient and inside lens
temperatures (similar to vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These
conditions are natural processes, not structural design problems in the exterior
lights.
Lens design characteristics ma y result in moisture 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 brake pads and rotors free of substances that are either abrasive or oil based,
as these substances can reduce brake system performance.
NSX brake pads and disks have a high meta llic content. Under certain conditions
these pad and disks may rust to varying degrees, which may cause a clunk noise or
rubbing sound if parked when brakes become wet. This is normal for brakes with
high friction pads and it does not affect operation of the brakes.
To prevent the iron contained in the brake pa ds and rotors from rusting and sticking,
brakes should be dried before parking the ve hicle after driving on wet roads or after
washing the vehicle (especially before long-term storage). To dry the brake pads and
rotors, drive the vehicle at a low sp eed and apply the brakes several times.
By regularly applying str ong pressure to the brakes, you can reduce corrosion
buildup on the brake pads and rotors.

1 Brake Maintenance
Brake maintenance require s specialized knowledge.
We recommend maintenance to be carried out by an
authorized Acura NSX dealer.
1 Maintenance of Brake Surfaces
Brakes can be dried by driv ing on a dry road for few
miles/kilometers, and a pplying the brake pedal
normally, based on traffic and road conditions. These
steps help maintain br ake system performance.
