Overheating
If the temperature gauge needle is at the H mark, the engine suddenly loses power,
or steam or spray comes out from under the hood, your engine is oveheating.
1. Immediately park the vehicle in a safe place. Turn
off all accessories and turn on the hazard warning
lights.
2. If no steam or spray is present: Keep the engine
running and open the hood.
If steam or spray is present: Turn off the engine
and wait until it subsides. Then, open the hood.
3. Check that the cooling fan is operating and stop
the engine once the temperature gauge needle
comes down. If the cooling fan is not operating,
immediately stop the engine.
4. Once the engine has cooled down, inspect the coolant level and check the
cooling system components for leaks. If the coolant level in the reserve tank
is low, add coolant until it reaches the MAX mark. If there is no coolant in the
reserve tank, make sure the radiator is cool, then cover the radiator cap with a
heavy cloth and open the cap. If necessary, add coolant up to the base of the
filler neck, and put the cap back on.
Once the engine has cooled sufficiently, restart it and check the temperature
gauge. If the temperature needle has gone down, resume driving. If it has not gone
down, contact a dealer for repairs.
Steam and spray from an overheated engine can seriously scald you.
Do not open the hood if steam is coming out.
Removing the radiator cap while the engine is hot can cause the coolant to spray
out, seriously scalding you.
Always let the engine and radiator cool down before removing the radiator cap.
WARNING
WARNING
Continuing to drive with the temperature gauge needle at the H mark may damage
the engine.

Changing a Flat Tire
If a  tire goes  flat while  driving, grasp  the steering wheel firmly, and brake gradually 
to reduce speed.  Stop in a safe place. Replace  the flat  tire with  the compact spare 
tire. Go to a dealer as soon as possible to have the full-size tire repaired or replaced.
Getting Ready to Change the Tire
Park the vehicle on a firm, level, non-slippery surface. Move the shift lever to Park
(P), and apply the parking brake. Turn the hazard warning lights on and turn the
vehicle off.
1. Open the tailgate. Turn on the cargo lights on
the inside of the tailgate, if necessary (see page
34).  Open  the cargo area  floor lid.
2. Take the wheel nut wrench and jack handle bar
out of the cargo area.
3. Unscrew the wing bolt, and remove the spacer
cone. Then, remove the spare tire.
4. Take the jack out of the spare tire area.
5. Loosen each wheel nut about one turn using the
wheel nut wrench.

Setting Up the Jack
1. Place the jack under the jacking point closest to
the tire to be changed.
2. Turn the end bracket (as shown in the image)
clockwise until the top of the jack contacts the
jacking point. Make sure that the jacking point
tab is resting in the jack notch.
3. Raise the vehicle, using the jack handle bar and
the jack handle, until the tire is off the ground.
The following instructions must be followed to use the jack safely:
•  Do not use the jack with people or luggage in the vehicle.
•  Use the jack provided in your vehicle. Other jacks may not support the weight
(“load”) or fit the jacking point.
•  Do not use while the engine is running.
•  Use only where the ground is firm and level.
•  Use only at the jacking points.
•  Do not get in the vehicle while using the jack.
•  Do not put anything on top of or underneath the jack.
The vehicle can easily roll off the jack, seriously injuring anyone underneath.
Follow the directions for changing a tire exactly, and never get under the
vehicle when it is supported only by the jack.

Inspecting and Changing Fuses
1. Turn the vehicle off, including the headlights and
accessories.
2. Remove the fuse box cover.
3. Check the large fuse in the engine compartment.
If the fuse is blown, use a Phillips-head
screwdriver to remove the screws and replace
the fuse with a new one. Reinstall the screws.
4. Inspect the small fuses in the engine
compartment and the vehicle interior.
If there is a burned out fuse, remove it with the
fuse puller and replace it with a new one.
Replacing a fuse with one that has a higher rating greatly increases the chances of
damaging the electrical system.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that you
may have about the vehicle.
Q: How  do I set the vehicle clock?
A: For vehicles without navigation, see page 44. For vehicles with navigation, the
time is automatically set using GPS signals.
Q: Why  doesn’t the vehicle start  when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button?
A: The brake pedal must be pressed to start the engine.
Q: What is  the AUTO setting  on my headlight lever? 
A: When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q: Only  the driver’s  door unlocks  when I shift to Park (P). Can  all doors unlock? 
A: You can change door lock or unlock settings in the multi-information display
using the Customize Settings menus. See page 27.
Q: Why  won’t the driver’s  door unlock  when I grab the door handle,  even though  the 
keyless  access remote is  within range?
A: If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q: After my battery  was disconnected  or went  dead,  the  audio system is  asking for a 
code.  Where  do I find  this?
A: In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle and the audio
system, and press and hold the power button until the system reactivates.
Q: Why can’t I  operate Pandora  through the audio system?
A: Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth® Audio. Make sure Pandora mode is
selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter. Some
phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q: Is my phone compatible  with Bluetooth features?
A: Visit www.acura.com/handsfreelink (U.S) or www.handsfreelink.ca (Canada) to
check phone compatibility for Bluetooth® Audio, Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®,
and SMS text messaging.
