Emissions
Achieving fuel economy and reducing CO
2
emissions is dependent on several
factors, including driving conditions, load weight, idling time, driving habits, and
vehicle condition. Depending on these and other factors, you may not achieve the
rated fuel economy of this vehicle.
You can optimize your fuel economy with proper maintenance of your vehicle.
Always maintain your vehicle in accordance with the messages displayed on the
multi-information display.
•
Use engine oil with the viscosity recommended.
2
•
Maintain the specified tire pressure.
•
Do not load the vehicle with excess cargo.
•
Keep your vehicle clean. A buildup of snow or mud on your vehicle's underside
adds weight and increases wind resistance.

Improving Fuel Economy and Reducing CO
Direct calculation is the recommended method to
determine actual fuel consumed while driving.
In Canada, posted fuel economy numbers are
established following a simulated test. For more
information on how this test is performed, please visit
https://www.nrcan.gc.ca
and search for “fuel
consumption testing” in the search field at the top of
the page.

Inspection and Maintenance
For your safety, perform all listed inspections and maintenance to keep your vehicle
in good condition. If you become aware of any abnormality (noise, smell, insufficient
brake fluid, oil residue on the ground, etc.), have your vehicle inspected by a dealer.
(Note, however, that service at a dealer is not mandatory to keep your warranties in
effect.) Refer to the separate maintenance booklet for detailed maintenance and
inspection information.
■
Daily inspections
Perform inspections before long distance trips, when washing the vehicle, or when
refueling.

Types of Inspection and Maintenance
1
Maintenance, replacement, or repair of
emissions control devices and systems may be
done by any automotive repair establishment or
individuals using parts that are “certified” to
EPA standards.
According to state and federal regulations, failure to
perform maintenance on the maintenance main
items marked with # will not void your emissions
warranties. However, all maintenance services should
be performed in accordance with the intervals
indicated by the multi-information display (MID).
2
If you want to perform complex maintenance tasks
that require more skills and tools, you can purchase a
subscription to the Service Express website at
www.techinfo.acura.com
.
2
If you want to perform maintenance yourself, make
sure that you have the necessary tools and skills first.
After performing maintenance, update the records in
the separate maintenance booklet.

Safety When Performing Maintenance
Some of the most important safety precautions are given here. However, we cannot
warn you of every conceivable hazard that can arise in performing maintenance.
Only you can decide whether you should perform a given task.
•
To reduce the possibility of fire or explosion, keep cigarettes, sparks, and flames
away from the battery and all fuel related parts.
•
Never leave rags, towels, or other flammable objects under the hood.
u
Heat from the engine and exhaust can ignite them, causing a fire.
•
To clean parts, use a commercially available degreaser or parts cleaner, not
gasoline.
•
Wear eye protection and protective clothing when working with the battery or
compressed air.
•
Engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, which is poisonous and can kill you.
u
Only operate the engine if there is sufficient ventilation.
•
The vehicle must be in a stationary condition.
u
Make sure your vehicle is parked on level ground, the parking brake is set, and
the engine is off.
•
Be aware that hot parts can burn you.
u
Make sure to let the engine and exhaust system cool thoroughly before
touching vehicle parts.
•
Be aware that moving parts can injure you.
u
Do not start the engine unless instructed, and keep your hands and limbs away
from moving parts.

Recommended Engine Oil
Oil is a major contributor to your engine's
performance and longevity. If you drive the
vehicle with insufficient or deteriorated oil,
the engine may fail or be damaged.
This seal indicates the oil is energy conserving
and that it meets the American Petroleum
Institute’s latest requirements.
Use Acura Genuine Motor Oil or another
commercial engine oil of suitable viscosity for
the ambient temperature as shown.
■
Synthetic oil
You may also use synthetic motor oil if it is labeled with the API Certification Seal
and is the specified viscosity grade.
•
Acura Genuine Motor Oil
•
Premium-grade 0W-20 detergent oil with an API Certification Seal on the
container.
