vehicle manufacturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that
have the special equipment, can r ead the information if they have
access to the vehicle or the EDR.
The data belongs to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by
anyone else except as legally required or with the permission of the
vehicle owner.Service Diagnostic Recorders

Quick Reference Guide
Safety Precautions
Do not touch the High Voltage systemAttempting to take a High Voltage system component apart or disconnect one of its wires
can cause severe electrical shock. If the High Voltage system needs maintenance or repair, it
should be performed at an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
If a crash occurs●Be careful of electric shock hazard.
uIf a severe crash damages your vehicle’s High Voltage system, there is a possibility of electrical shock
due to exposed High Voltage components or wires. If this happens, do not touch any of the High
Voltage system components or any of its orange wires.
●Avoid contact with High Voltage battery fluid.
uThe High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result of a severe
crash. Avoid any skin or ey e contact with the electrolyte as it is corrosive. If you accidentally touch it,
flush your eyes or skin with a large quantity of water for at le ast five minutes, and seek medical
attention immediately.
●Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire.
uAttempting to extinguish an electrical fire with even a small quantity of water, from a garden hose
for instance, can be dangerous.
●Anytime the vehicle is damaged in a crash, have it repaired by an authorized Acura NSX
dealer.
Emergency Shutdown System for the High Voltage SystemThe emergency shutdown system may activate when the vehicle is impacted by some
incident such as a crash. When this system activates, the High Voltage system automatically
shuts down, and your vehicle no longer will move under its own power. To return the High
Voltage system back to normal operation, consult an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
Acura collects and recycles High Voltage batteries used in its vehicles – consult an
authorized Acura NSX dealer for more information.

uuFor Safe Driving uImportant Safety Precautions
Safe Driving
■Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
■Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
■Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regul arly scheduled maintenance.
■Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children, pets, and people needing assistance left unattended in the vehicle may be
injured if they activate one or more of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the
vehicle to move, resulting in a crash in wh ich they and/or another person(s) can be
injured or killed. Also, depending on the am bient temperature, the temperature of
the interior may reach extreme levels, which can result in harm or death.
Even if the climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended
as the climate control system can shut off at any time.

uuAirbags uAirbag Care
Safe Driving
Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Acura NSX dealer in the following situations:
■When the airbag s have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, th e control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt te nsioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
■When the vehicl e has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have an authorized Acura NSX dealer inspect the
following: the weight sensors in the passeng er’s seat, seat belt tensioners, and each
seat belt that was worn during the crash.
■Do not remove or modify a seat without consulting an authorized Acura
NSX dealer
This would likely disable or affect the proper operation of the weight sensors in the
passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to re move or modify a seat to accommodate a
person with disabilities, contact an authoriz ed Acura NSX dealer, or for U.S. vehicles,
Acura Client Relations at 1-844-682-2872 and for Canadian vehicles, Acura Client
Service at 1-888-9-ACURA-9 or 1- 844-9-MYNSX-9 (NSX-specific).
1Airbag Care
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, includi ng the airbag, tensioners,
sensors, and control unit.
