the display, along with helpful parking guidelines.
Wide view Normal viewTop down view
Use the touchscreen to
toggle between views.
The rear camera view is restricted. You cannot see the corner ends of the bumper or what is
underneath the bumper. Its unique lens also makes objects appear closer or farther than they
actually are.
Visually confirm that it is safe to drive before backing up. Certain conditions (such as weather,
lighting, and high temperatures) may also restrict the rear view. Do not rely on the rearview
display, which does not give you all information about conditions at the rear of your vehicle.

HANDLING THE UNEXPECTEDHANDLING THE UNEXPECTED
Emergency Towing
This vehicle requires flat bed towing. Call a professional towing service if you need to tow
your vehicle. The operator loads your vehicle on the back of a truck.
Trying to lift or tow your vehicle by the bumpers will cause serious damage. The bumpers are
not designed to support the vehicle’s weight.
Improper towing such as towing behind a motorhome or other motor vehicle can damage the
transmission.
NOTICE
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Monitors the tire pressure while you are driving.
If your vehicle’s tire pressure becomes significantly low, the low
tire pressure indicator comes on and a message appears on the
multi-information display. Roll the right selector wheel on the
steering wheel to view the tire pressure monitor.
n What to Do
Stop your
vehicle in a safe place. Check the tire pressure and adjust the pressure to the
specified level. The specified tire pressure is on a label on the driver’s doorjamb.
Driving on an extremely underinflated tire can cause it to overheat. An overheated tire can
fail. Always inflate your tires to the specified pressure.

n Resetting the Engine Oil Life
If you change or
replace the vehicle’s engine oil yourself, you must reset the engine oil
life. Use the right selector wheel on the steering wheel to make selections in the driver
information interface.
Whee lRight Selector
Set the power mode to ON. Roll the wheel until the oil life displays in the driver information
interface.
Press the wheel for at least 10 seconds, until you enter reset mode.
Select All Items Due, then press the wheel. The maintenance items disappear, and the
engine oil life display returns to 100%.
Failure to reset the engine oil life after a maintenance service results in the system showing
incorrect maintenance intervals, which can lead to serious mechanical problems.
NOTICE

We specify Acura Long Life Antifreeze/Coolant Type 2.
n
Checking the Coolant Lev

el

page 183).
If the coolant level in the reserve tank is below the MIN mark,
add the specified coolant until it reaches the MAX mark.
Inspect the cooling system for leaks.
Reserve Tank MAXMIN
If temperatures consistently below −22°F (−30°C) are expected, the coolant mixture should
be changed to a higher concentration. Consult your authorized Acura NSX dealer for more
information.
