beeps sound continuously if you or your passenger has not fastened your seat belts
when you begin driving. If the indicator remains on after seat belts are fastened, see
your authorized Acura NSX dealer.
Low fuel
Refuel as soon as possible. If the indicator blinks, there is a problem with the fuel
gauge. See your authorized Acura NSX dealer.
Low tire pressure
Stop in a safe place, check tire pressures, and inflate tire(s) if necessary.
Active Damper System Indicator
There is a problem with the Active Damper System.
System message
When a condition or malfunction indicator comes on, a message also appears on the
multi-information display. Check the display for more information.
Immobilizer
Your remote transmitter cannot be recognized by the vehicle. If the indicator blinks,
you may not be able to start the engine. Turn the vehicle off and then on again. If
it continues to blink, there may be a problem with the system. See your authorized

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTEDHANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
n Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) - Required Federal Explanation
Each tire, including
the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold
and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label.
(If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure
telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated.
Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and
check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure.
Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can
lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life,
and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is
the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure
telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator
is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle
start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to
detect or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from
functioning properly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or more tires
or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and
wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.

n Adding Coolant
Make sure
the engine and radiator are cool.
Turn the reserve tank cap counterclockwise and relieve any
pressure in the coolant system. Do not push the cap down
when turning.
Push down and turn the cap counterclockwise to remove it.
Pour coolant into the reserve tank until it reaches the MAX
mark. Put the cap back on the reserve tank and tighten.
Reserve Tank
Cap
Removing the reserve tank cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to
spray out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the reserve tank
cap.
WARNING
Pour the fluid slowly and carefully so you do not spill any. Clean up any spills immediately;
they can damage components in the engine compartment.
NOTICE
Inverter Coolant
Check the inverter coolant level every time you refuel
n
Checking the Inverter

Coolant Level
Open the hood.
If the inverter coolant is below the MIN level, have your
vehicle serviced at an authorized Acura NSX dealer.

Do not use engine antifreeze or a vinegar/water solution in the windshield washer reservoir.
Antifreeze can damage your vehicle’s paint. A vinegar/water solution can damage the windshield
washer pump.

NOTICE
Tire Information
To safely operate your vehicle, your tires must be of the proper type and size, in good condition
with adequate tread, and properly inflated.
n
Inflation Guidelines
Properly inflated tir

es provide the best combination of handling, tread life, and comfort.
Refer to the driver’s doorjamb label or the specifications (see page 127) for the specified
pressure.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are
more likely to fail from overheating.
Overinflated tires make your vehicle ride harshly, are more prone to road hazards, and wear
unevenly.
Every day before you drive, look at each of the tires. If one looks lower than the others,
check the pressure with a tire gauge.
Measure the air pressure when tires are cold. This means the vehicle has been parked for at
least 3 hours, or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). If necessary, add or release air until the
specified pressure is reached. If checked when hot, tire pressure can be as much as 4-6 psi
(30-40 kPa, 0.3-0.5 kgf/cm
2) higher than checked when cold.
At least once a month or before long trips, use a gauge to measure the pressure in all tires,
including the spare. Even tires in good condition can lose 1-2 psi
(10-20 kPa, 0.1-0.2 kgf/cm
2) per month.
