Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to
the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of
collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children
are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant
seat in the front passenger’s seat, as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously
injure an infant.

• Use of unleaded premium gasoline of 9\f octane or higher is recommended.
• Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese\bbased fueladditive. Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can
deteriorate your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emission control
system. Always use MMT\bfree gasoline if available. Failures caused by use of
gasoline containing MMT may not be covered under warranty.
• “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” meets a new gasoline standard jointly established by leading automotive manufacturers to meet the needs of today’s
advanced engines. In most cases, qualifying gasoline retailers will identify their
gasoline as having met “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” standards at the retail
location. This fuel is guaranteed to contain the proper level of detergent
additives and be free of metallic additives. This helps avoid build\bup of deposits
in your engine and emission control system. Because the level of detergency
and harmful metallic additives (such as MMT) in gasoline vary in the market,
Acura endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to
help maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle. For more
information, visit www.toptiergas.com .
• For more important information on fuel and lubricants for your car and information on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visit
My Acura at www.myacura.com.
