Before Driving
Driving Preparation
Check the following items before you start driving.
• Make sure there are no obstructions on the windows, door mirrors, exterior
lights, or other parts of the vehicle.
u Remove any frost, snow, or ice.
u Remove any snow on the roof, as this can slip down and obstruct your field of
vision while driving. If frozen solid , remove ice once it has softened.
u When removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
u If the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
u Check air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.
2Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 405
•Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
u There are blind spots from the inside.
• Check the front bumper ducts and side intercooler ducts for mud, leaves, and
road debris that could build up and prevent proper cooling performance.
■Exterior Checks1Exterior Checks
NOTICE
When doors are frozen s hut, use warm water around
the door edges to melt any ice. Do not try to force
them open, as this can damage the rubber trim
around the doors. When done, wipe dry to avoid
further freezing.
Do not pour warm water into the key cylinder.
You will be unable to insert the key if the water
freezes in the hole.
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite
flammable materials left und er the hatch, causing a
fire. If you’ve parked y our vehicle for an extended
period, inspect and remove any debris that may have
collected, such as dried grass and leaves that have
fallen or have been carried in for use as a nest by a
small animal.
Also check under the hatch for leftover flammable
materials after you or so meone else has performed
maintenance on your vehicle.

uuBefore Driving uDriving Preparation
Driving
• Store or secure all items on board properly.
u Carrying too much cargo, or improperly storing it, can affect your vehicle’s
handling, stability, sto pping distance, and tires, and make it unsafe.
2Maximum Load Limit P. 311
•Do not pile items higher than the seat height.
u They can block your view and may be thrown forward in the event of sudden
braking.
• Do not place anything in the seat footwe lls. Make sure to secure the floor mat.
u An object or unsecured floor mat can in terfere with your brake and accelerator
pedal operation while driving.
• If you have any animals on board, do not let them move around in the vehicle.
u They may interfere with driving and a crash could occur.
• Securely close and lock both doors and the hatch.

uuBefore Driving uHigh-Performance Driving
Driving
• Burnish the brake pads shortly before high -performance driving so that they have
the performance characteristics necessary to repeatedly and quickly slow the NSX
when it is being operated at signific antly high speeds. (While the NSX’s brake
pads are properly burnished for the demands expected in ordinary day-to-day
driving, high-performance driving puts unique demands on the brake system
which require further burnishing.)
• Inspect ALL cooling openings to confirm th ey are open and free of debris such as
leaves, etc. Cooling openings include engine undercover ducts, heat resistance
ducts, brake ducts, radi ators, and intercoolers
• Remove Tire Repair Kit from the trunk, along with any other cargo area contents
• Check tire wear and tire pressure, and m ake certain wheel lug bolts are properly
torqued, as driving at high speed puts additional strain on tires and wheels. Never
use slick tires, and do not use Summer Only tires and Ultra High Performance tires
if temperatures will be lower than 45°F (7°C)
• If you anticipate sustained driving at speeds greater than 168 mph/270 km/h,
adjust the cold tire pressure as shown on the driver door jamb warning label. This
will help avoid heat build-up and sudden tire failure1 High-Performance Driving
3WARNING
Use of slick tires/racing slicks may subject
the chassis and body components to higher
dynamic loads than they were designed for.
Higher than intended dynamic loads could
result in component fail ure, loss of control,
and serious injury or death to you or others.
Do not install slick tires on the NSX.

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. 413
2 Cold Weather Driving P. 414
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.
