*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and
from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filters every 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or
every year.
*4: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher transmission temperature. This requires transmission fluid and clutch fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the
Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under this condition, have the transmission
fluid and clutch fluid changed every 20,000 miles (32,000 km).
*5: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher level of mechanical (Shear) stress to fluid. This requires Twin Motor Unit fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the
Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the Twin Motor
Unit fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

uuChecking and Maintaining Tires uWinter Tires
Maintenance
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all-season marked M+S tires, snow tires,
or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufficient distance between vehicles when
driving.
Be particularly careful when operating the steering wheel or brakes to prevent skidding.
Use tire chains, snow tires, or all-season tires when necessary or according to the law.
When mounting, refer to the following points.
For winter tires:
• Mount the tires to all four wheels.
For tire chains:
• Install them on the rear tires only.
• Because your vehicle has limited tire clea rance, we strongly recommend using the
chains listed below:
*1:Tire chains to be used only on optional 295/30R20 (97V) winter tires.
*2:Tire chains to be used only on optional 305/30R20 (103W) XL winter tires.
• Follow the chain manufactur er’s instruction when installing. Mount them as
tightly as you can.
• Check that the chains do not touch the brake lines or suspension.
• Drive slowly.
Recommended Winter Tires:
●Michelin Alpin PA4
Front: 245/35R19 (93W) XL
Rear: 295/30R20 (97V)
●Pirelli SottoZero 3
Front: 245/35R19 (93W) XL
Rear: 305/30R20 (103W) XL
●Auto-trac 232405*1
●K-Summit K-44*2
1 Winter Tires
NOTICE
Traction devices that are th e wrong size or improperly
installed can damage your vehicle’s brake lines,
suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are
hitting any part of the vehicle.
When tire chains are mounted, follow the chain
manufacturer’s instructi ons regarding vehicle
operational limits.
If your vehicle is equipped with summer tires, be
aware that these tires are not designed for winter
driving conditions. For more information, contact an
authorized Acura NSX dealer.
3WARNING
Using the wrong chains, or not properly
installing chains, can damage the brake
lines and cause a crash in which you can be
seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instruction s in this owner’s
manual regarding the selection and use of
tire chains.

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 significan t enough difference between the ambient and inside lens
temperatures (similar to vehicle windows fogging up in rainy conditions). These
conditions are natural processes, not stru ctural design problems in the exterior
lights.
Lens design characteristics may result in mo isture 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 the brake pads and rotors free of subs tances that are either abrasive or oil
based, as these substances can reduce braking power.
When driving in the presence of salt and/ or sand, briefly wash the rotor/pad surfaces
with low-pressure water, and then brake th e system dry to help maintain the brake
system’s performance.
Brake maintenance requires specialized kn owledge. We recommend maintenance
to be carried out by an au thorized Acura NSX dealer.
