Immobilizer System
The immobilizer system prevents a key that has not been pre-registered from
starting the power system. Each key cont ains electronic transmitters that use
electronic signals to verify the key.
Pay attention to the follo wing when pressing the ENGINE START/STOP button:
• Do not allow objects that emit strong radio waves near the ENGINE START/
STOP button.
• Make sure the key is not covered by or touching a metal object.
• Do not bring a key from another vehi cle’s immobilizer system near the ENGINE
START/STOP button.
• Do not put the key near magnetic items. Electronic devices, such as a televisions
and audio systems emit strong magnetic fields. Note that even a key chain can
become magnetic.

Driving
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.
uRemove any frost, snow, or ice.
uRemove 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.
uWhen removing ice from around the wheels, be sure not to damage the wheel
or wheel components.
• Make sure the hood is securely closed.
uIf the hood opens while driving, your front view will be blocked.
• Make sure the tires are in good condition.
uCheck air pressures, and check for damage and excessive wear.
2 Checking and Maintaining Tires P. 407
• Make sure there are no people or ob jects behind or around the vehicle.
uThere 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 DrivinguHigh-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 failure1High-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.
