system to warm up the interior, which will also warm
the transmission enough for you to drive the vehicle.
• The engine speed does not increase even if you fully
depress the accelerator pedal.
•Appears when the High Volt age battery temperature is
extremely low (-4°F [-20°C]).• Contact an authorized Acura NSX dealer immediately.
• To prevent the message to come on, store the vehicle in
the garage or drive in advance to warm up the High
Voltage battery.
• The minimum operation guarantee environmental
temperature is -4°F [-20°C].
•Appears when the twin motor unit fluid temperature is
extremely low.•Vehicle speed is limited to 81 mph (130 km/h) until twin

If the temperature reaches the red zone, stop your
vehicle in a safe place and allow the system to cool
down. After that, change the power mode to
VEHICLE OFF and set the power mode to ON again.
Even though the system has cooled down, the
POWER SYSTEM indicator will stay on. Have your
vehicle inspected by an authorized Acura NSX dealer.

uuBefore Driving uHigh-Performance Driving
Driving
• Inspect all exhaust mounts for cracks or signs of wear
WHILE DRIVING
• You may see a brake warning message in the Driver Information Interface (and
warning message chime) and/or expe rience increased brake pedal stroke.
If either occurs, immediately slow do wn and allow for increased stopping
distances. The message will disappear once the brakes have cooled and the
system has returned to normal operating condition
• After high-performance driving, it is critic al to allow your vehicle to properly cool
down. Do not immediately stop your vehicle. Instead, continue driving at reduced
speeds, allowing for increased braking di stances until your vehicle returns to
normal operating temperatures. Once you stop and safely park the NSX, open the
hatch to aid cooling. If the engine oil temperature reaches the mark during
high-performance driving, have your NSX inspected by an authorized Acura NSX
dealer

uuWhen Driving uPrecautions While Driving
Driving
Precautions While Driving
Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the power
system or driveline, or cause electrical component failure.
The vehicle is equipped with ultra high performance summer tires that, due to their
decreased tread depth, are at greater risk of hydroplaning on wet roads compared
to regular tires. Exercise caution when driving on wet surfaces.
The vehicle is equipped with ultra high performance summer tires. These tires are
designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates, and are not
suitable for below freezing, snowy or ic y weather conditions. If you drive under
these circumstances, use of winter tires is recommended and may be mandatory,
depending on your region, province or territory.
2 Winter Tires P. 415
2 Cold Weather Driving P. 416
Due to limitations of the Lithium-ion Hi gh Voltage battery, the minimum starting
temperature for the vehicle is -4°F (-20°C).
Inability to start the vehicle and/or decrea sed performance is expected if the vehicle
is operated at temperatures below -4°F (-20°C).
■In Rain
■In Snow and Ice
1 Precautions While Driving
NOTICE
Do not select a shift button while pressing the
accelerator pedal.
NOTICE
The following can damage the under spoiler, under
covers, front bumper, rear diffuser, brake cooling
components, and side sill:
•Parking the vehicle by a parking block•Parallel pa rking along the road shoulder•Driving toward the bottom of a hill•Driving up or down to a different surface level
(such as a road shoulder)
•Driving on a rutted or bumpy road•Driving on a road with potholes•Driving over speed bump
NOTICE
If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in
the full left or right position for a while, the electric
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system
goes into a protective mode, and limits its
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down,
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can
eventually damage the system.
If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while
driving, the power system will shut down and all
steering and brake power a ssist functions will stop,
making it difficult to control the vehicle.
Driving in snow or icy c onditions may accumulate ice
on the brake disk surface, reducing braking power.
