ECO mode Acura TL 2007 Workshop Manual

To see the inf lation pressures of all
f our tires, press the SEL/RESET
buttononthesteeringwheel.The
display changes as shown above.Each tire pressure is shown in PSI
(U.S. models) or in kPa (Canadian
models).
Each tire has its own pressure
sensor. If the air pressure of a tire
becomes signif icantly low, the
sensor in that tire immediately sends
a signal that causes the low tire
pressure indicator in the instrument
panel to come on. If this happens,
you will see which tire is losing
pressure on the multi-inf ormation
display along with a ‘‘CHECK TIRE
PRESSURE’’ message.

When the radiator and engine are
cool, relieve any pressure in the
cooling system by turning the
radiator cap counterclockwise,
without pressing down.
Remove the radiator cap by
pushing down and turning
counterclockwise.
The coolant level should be up to
the base of the f iller neck. Addcoolant if it is low.
Pourthecoolantslowlyand
caref ully so you do not spill any.
Clean up any spill immediately; it
could damage components in the
engine compartment.
Put the radiator cap back on and
tighten it.
Pour coolant into the reserve tank.
Fill it to half way between the MAX
and MIN marks. Put the cap back
on the reserve tank.
Do not add any rust inhibitors or
other additives to your vehicle’s
cooling system. They may not be
compatible with the coolant or
engine components. When you ref ill the reservoir, clean
the edges of the windshield wiper
blades with windshield washer f luid
on a clean cloth. This will help to
condition them. Fill the reservoir with a good-quality
windshield washer f luid. This
increases the cleaning capability and
prevents f reezing in cold weather.If the f luid level
is low, a message will be shown on
the multi-information display. Check the f luid level in the
windshield washer reservoir at least
monthly during normal use.

´However,
these tires are not suitable
for driving on snow or ice, so all-
season or winter tires must be
installed for winter driving
conditions.
See page for winter driving
conditions.
Keeping the tires properly inflated
provides the best combination of
handling, tread life, and riding
comfort.
Underinflated tires wear unevenly,
adversely affect handling and fuel
economy, and are more likely to
fail from being overheated.
Overinflated tires can make your
vehicleridemoreharshly,are
more prone to damage from road
hazards, and wear unevenly.
Your
vehicle is equipped with high
performance all-season tires
(marked All Season or M S on the
sidewalls). These tires provide
excellent handling and braking
performance in most driving
situations.
To
safely operate your vehicle, your
ti res must be the proper type and
size, in good condition with adequate
tread, and correctly inf lated.
The f ollowing pages give more
detailed inf ormation about your tires,
how and when to inspect your tires
for damage and wear, and what to do
when your tires need to be replaced.
Your vehicle is equipped with high
perf ormance summer tires. These
tires have a high-traction compound
and tread pattern to provide superior
acceleration, cornering, and stopping
under most driving conditions. 307

Using tires that are excessively
worn or improperly inflated can
cause a crash in which you can
be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow all instructions in this
owner’s manual regarding tire
inflation and maintenance.

The following chart shows the
recommended cold tire pressures for
most normal driving conditions and
speed. Thecompactsparetirepressureis:
Use a gauge to measure the air
pressure in each tire at least once a
month. Even tires that are in good
condition may lose 1 to 2 psi (10 to
20 kPa, 0.1 to 0.2 kgf/cm ) per
month. We recommend that you visually
check your tires every day. If you
think a tire might be low, check it
immediately with a tire gauge.
The
tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS) will warn you when tire
pressure is low. See page f or
inf ormation on the TPMS.
Remember to check the spare tire at
thesametimeyoucheckallthe
other tires. We strongly recommend that you
not drive f aster than posted speed
limits and conditions allow. If you
ever drive in a sanctioned
competitive event at sustained high
speeds (over 118 mph or 190 km/h),
be sure to adjust the cold tire
pressuresasshownbelow.If youdo
not adjust the tire pressure,
excessive heat can build up and
cause sudden tire f ailure.
