Contains a number that you will need if you
purchase a replacement key.

Low Keyless Access Remote Signal Strength

The vehicle transmits radio waves to locate the keyless access remote when locking/
unlocking the doors, opening the hatch, or to activate the power system.

In the following cases, locking/unlocking the doors, opening the hatch, or activating
the power system may be inhibited or operation may be unstable:
• Strong radio waves are being transmitted by nearby equipment.
• You are carrying the keyless access remote together with telecommunications

equipment, laptop computers, cell phones, or wireless devices.

• A metallic object is touching or covering the keyless access remote.

■

Key Number Tag

Key Number Tag

Keep the key number tag separate from the key in a
safe place outside of your vehicle.
If you wish to purchase an additional key, contact an
authorized Acura NSX dealer.

If you lose your key and you cannot activate the
power system, contact an authorized Acura NSX
dealer.

Low Keyless Access Remote Signal Strength

Communication between the keyless access remote
and the vehicle consumes the keyless access remote’s
battery.
Battery life is about two years, but this varies
depending on regularity of use.
The battery is consumed whenever the keyless access
remote is receiving strong radio waves. Avoid placing
it near electrical appliances such as televisions and
personal computers.
