If the temperature reaches the red zone, stop your
vehicle in a safe place and allow the system to cool down. After that, change the power mode to
VEHICLE OFF and set the power mode to ON again.
Even though the system has cooled down, the
POWER SYSTEM indicator will stay on. Have your
vehicle inspected by an au thorized Acura NSX dealer.

uuBefore DrivinguHigh-Performance Driving
Driving
•Inspect all exhaust mounts for cracks or signs of wear
• Inspect tailpipe active exhaus t valves to ensure they are functioning correctly. You
can do this by cycling the Integrated Dynamics System mode switch between
SPORT and TRACK modes, while the engine is idling
WHILE DRIVING• You may see a brake warning message in the Driver Information Interface (and
warning message chime) and/or expe rience increased brake pedal stroke.
If either occurs, immediately slow do wn and allow for increased stopping
distances. The message will disappear once the brakes have cooled and the
system has returned to normal operating condition
• After high-performance driving, it is critic al to allow your vehicle to properly cool
down. Do not immediately stop your vehicle. Instead, continue driving at reduced
speeds, allowing for increased braking di stances until your vehicle returns to
normal operating temperatures. Once you stop and safely park the NSX, open the
hatch to aid cooling. If the engine oil temperature reaches the mark during
high-performance driving, have your NSX inspected by an authorized Acura NSX
dealer

uuWhen DrivinguPrecautions 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. 415
2 Cold Weather Driving P. 416
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
1Precautions 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.

Driving
Parking Your Vehicle
When Stopped 1.Depress the brake pedal firmly.
2. With the brake pedal depressed, pull up th e electric parking brake switch slowly,
but fully.
3. Change the gear position to
(P .
4. Turn off the power system.
uThe electric parking brake indicator goes off in about 15 seconds.
Always confirm the electric parking brake is se t, in particular if you are parked on an
incline.
During Auto Engine Stop, th e gear position changes to
(P and the engine restarts
automatically under the following conditions:
• You unfasten the driver side seat belt and open the door.
1Parking Your Vehicle
Do not park your vehicle near flammable objects,
such as dry grass, oil, or timber.
Heat from the exhaust can cause a fire.
3WARNING
The vehicle can roll aw ay if left unattended
without confirming that Park is engaged.
A vehicle that rolls away could cause a crash
resulting in seriou s injury or death.
Always keep your foot on the brake pedal
until you have confirmed that
(P is shown
on the gear position indicator.
1When Stopped
NOTICE
The following can damage the driveline: • Depressing the accelera tor and brake pedals
simultaneously.
• Changing to
(P before the vehicle stops completely.
When facing uphill, do not hold the vehicle by
depressing the accelerator pedal.
Doing so may cause the power system to overheat
and fail.
In extremely cold temperatures, the parking brake may
freeze up if applied. If such temperatures are expected, do
not apply the parking brake. If parking on a slope, either
turn the steering wheel so one of the front tires will contact
the curb or block the wheels to keep the vehicle from
moving. If you do not take either precaution, the vehicle
may roll unexpectedly, leading to a crash.

Turbo Engine Vehicle
Handling Precautions
The turbocharger is a high-precision device designed to obtain greater horsepower
by delivering a large volume of compressed ai r into the engine using a turbine driven
by the engine’s exhaust gas pressure. • When the engine is cold just afte r starting, avoid hard or sudden
acceleration.
• Always replace the engine oil and en gine oil filter according to the
Maintenance Minder TM
.
The turbine rotates at very high speed s over 100,000 rpm and its temperature
reaches over 1,292°F (700°C). It is lubricated and cooled by engine oil.
If you fail to replace the engine oil and filter at the scheduled distance or interval,
deteriorated engine oil may cause failure such as sticking and abnormal noise of the
turbine bearing.
1Turbo Engine Vehicle
The scheduled maintenance intervals for replacing
the engine oil and filt er is indicated on the
Maintenance Minder TM
. Follow the information of
when to replace them.
2 Maintenance Minder TM
P. 379
2 Recommended Engine Oil P. 390
The temperature gauge needle is at the mark
when you restart the engi ne after driving under high
load conditions such as at high speed or in hilly
terrain. This is normal. The gauge needle goes down
after you idle or drive the vehicle for about one
minute.
