2 What to do when the indicator comes
on while driving P. 457
•Comes on along with the brake
system indicator (amber) - Immediately
stop in a safe place. Contact an authorized
Acura NSX dealer for repair. The brake
pedal becomes harder to operate. Depress
the pedal further than you normally do.
• Comes on along with the ABS

Fuel Economy and CO2 Emissions
Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2
Emissions
Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO2 emissions is dependent on several
factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits, and
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.
You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Always maintain your vehicle in accord ance with the messages displayed on the
driver information interface.
• Use the recommended vi scosity engine oil.
• Maintain the specified tire pressure.
• Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
• Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle’s underside
adds weight and increases wind resistance.
■Maintenance and Fuel Economy
1Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO2 Emissions
Direct calculation is the recommended method to
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.
In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are
established following a simulated test.
For more information on how this test is performed,
please visit http://www.nrcan.gc.ca and search for
“fuel consumption testing” in the search field at the
top of the page.

Driving
Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device designed to obtain greater horsepower
by delivering a large volume of compressed air into the engine using a turbine driven
by the engine’s exhaust gas pressure.
•When the engine is cold just after starting, avoid hard or sudden
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and en gine oil filter according to the
Maintenance Minder
TM.
The turbine rotates at very high speed s over 100,000 rpm and its temperature
reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If you fail to replac e the engine oil and filter at th e scheduled distance or interval,
deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal noise of the
turbine bearing.
1 Turbo Engine Vehicle
The scheduled maintenance intervals for replacing
the engine oil and filt er is indicated on the
Maintenance Minder
TM. Follow the information of
when to replace them.
2 Maintenance Minder
TM P. 383
2 Recommended Engine Oil P. 394
The temperature gauge needle is at the mark
when you restart the engi ne after driving under high
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly
terrain. This is normal. The gauge needle goes down
after you idle or drive the vehicle for about one
minute.

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.

Maintenance
Keep the brake pads and rotors free of subs tances that are either abrasive or oil
based, as these substances can reduce braking power. After driving in the presence
of salt and/or sand, briefly wash the ro tor/pad surfaces with low-pressure water,
then allow the brake system to dry. To dry the brake pads and rotors, drive the
vehicle at a low speed and apply the brakes several times.
Refer to the color code label and the temperature notice label affixed to the
underside of the hood before painting the vehicle.
