Type-R model
Your Acura is designed to give you optimum handling and performanceon well-maintained roads. As part of
this design, your car has a minimum of ground clearance.
Use caution if you should drive
your car on very rough or rutted roads. You could damage thesuspension and underbody by
bottoming out. Going too fast over
parking lot "speed bumps" can also cause damage. Curbs and steep inclines could
damage the front and rear
bumpers. Low curbs that do not affect the average car may be high
enough to hit the bumper on your
Acura. The front or rear bumper may scrape when trying to driveonto an incline, such as a steep
driveway or trailer ramps.

Modification s
Do not remove any original
equipment or modify your car in any
way that would alter its design or operation. This could make your car
unsafe and illegal to drive.
For example, do not make any
modifications that would change the
ride height of your car, or install
wheels and tires with a different overall diameter.
Such modifications can adversely
affect handling, and interfere with
the operation of the car's anti-lock
brakes and other systems. In addition, any modifications that
decrease ground clearance increase
the chance of undercarriage parts striking a curb, speed bump, or other
raised object, which could cause
your airbags to deploy.
Do not modify your steering wheel
or any other part of your
Supplemental Restraint System.
Modifications could make the
system ineffective. Additiona
l Safet y Precautio n
Do not attach or place objects on the airbag covers. Any object attached to
or placed on the covers marked "SRS
AIRBAG," in the center of the steering wheel and on top of the
dashboard, could interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags. Or, if the airbags inflate, the objects
could be propelled inside the car and
hurt someone.
