Maintenance Schedule for Severe Conditions

Dirt build-up in the loops of the seat
belt anchors can cause the belts to
retract slowly. Wipe the insides of
the loops with a clean cloth
dampened in mild soap and warm
water or isopropyl alcohol.If you use aftermarket floor mats
make sure they f it properly and that
theycanbeusedwiththefloormat
anchors. Do not put additional f loor
mats on top of the anchored mats.
This f ilter removes the dust and
pollenthatisbroughtinfromthe
outside through the heating and
cooling system/climate control
system.
Clean dirty seat belts with a sof t
brush and a mixture of mild soap and
warm water. Do not use bleach, dye,
or cleaning solvents that can weaken
the belt material. Let the belts air
drybeforeyouusethevehicle. The driver’s f loor mat that came
with your vehicle hook over the f loor
mat anchors. This keeps the f loor
mats f rom sliding f orward and
possibly interf ering with the pedals.
If you remove the f loor mats, make
sure to re-anchor them when you put
them back in your vehicle.Have your Acura dealer replace this
f ilter every 30,000 miles (48,000 km)
under normal conditions. It should
be replaced every 15,000 miles
(24,000 km) if you drive primarily in
urban areas that have high
concentrations of soot in the air, or if
the airf low f rom the climate control
system becomes less than usual.
