Starting the Engine

Keep your foot firmly on the brake pedal when 
starting the engine.

The engine is harder to start in cold weather and in 
thinner air found at altitudes above 8,000 feet (2,400 
meters).

When starting the engine in cold weather, turn off all 
electrical accessories such as the lights, climate 
control system, and rear defogger in order to reduce 
battery drain.

If you live in a region where winter is extremely cold, 
an engine block heater will improve starting and 
warming of the engine. Consult a dealer for details.

If exhaust system sounds abnormal or you can smell 
exhaust gas inside the vehicle, have your vehicle 
checked by a dealer. There may be a problem with 
the engine or exhaust system.

The immobilizer system protects your vehicle from 
theft.
If an improperly coded device is used, the engine’s 
fuel system is disabled.

Precautions While Driving

Driving

Precautions While Driving

Avoid driving in deep water and on flooded roads. This can damage the engine or 
driveline, or cause electrical component failure.

If there is a strong impact with something under the vehicle, stop in a safe location. 
Check the underside of the vehicle for damage or any fluid leaks.

In Rain

Other Precautions

Precautions While Driving

NOTICE

Do not operate the shift lever while pressing the 
accelerator pedal. You could damage the transmission.

NOTICE

If you repeatedly turn the steering wheel at an 
extremely low speed, or hold the steering wheel in 
the full left or right position for a while, the electric 
power steering (EPS) system heats up. The system 
goes into a protective mode, and limits its 
performance. The steering wheel becomes harder 
and harder to operate. Once the system cools down, 
the EPS system is restored.
Repeated operation under these conditions can 
eventually damage the system.

If the power mode is set to ACCESSORY while 
driving, the engine will shut down and all steering 
and brake power assist functions will stop, making it 
difficult to control the vehicle.

Do not put the shift lever in 

(

N, as you will lose 

engine braking (and acceleration) performance.

During the first 600 miles (1,000 km) of operation, 
avoid sudden acceleration or full throttle operation so 
as to not damage the engine or powertrain.

Avoid hard braking for the first 200 miles (300 km).
You should also follow this when the brake pads are 
replaced.

Dual Clutch Transmission

Driving

Dual Clutch Transmission

As with a conventional automatic transmission, this vehicle will creep.
Keep the brake pedal firmly depressed when stopped.

Quickly depressing the accelerator pedal while driving uphill may cause the 
transmission to drop to a lower gear, unexpectedly increasing vehicle speed. Depress 
the accelerator pedal carefully, especially on slippery roads and curves.

Precautions While Driving

NOTICE

The following can damage the under spoiler:

Parking the vehicle by a parking block

Parallel parking along the road shoulder

Driving towards the bottom of a hill

Driving up or down to a different surface level 
(such as a road shoulder)

Driving on a rutted or bumpy road

Driving on a road with potholes.

Shift Lever Operation

NOTICE

When you change the shift lever from 

(

D to 

(

R and 

vice versa, come to a complete stop and keep the 
brake pedal depressed.
Operating the shift lever before the vehicle has come 
to a complete standstill can damage the transmission.

Use the shift lever position indicator to check the 
lever position before pulling away.

Whichever position the shift lever is in when driving, 
a blinking transmission indicator indicates a 
transmission problem.
Avoid sudden acceleration and have the transmission 
checked by a dealer as soon as possible.

The fuel supply may be cut off if you drive at engine 
speeds in or over the tachometer's red zone (engine 
speed limit). If this happens, you may experience a 
slight jolt.

When the engine speed is increased while the shift 
lever is in 

(

N, 

(

P or 

(

R, the fuel supply may be cut 

off even without the engine speed entering the 
tachometer’s red zone.

It may not be possible to operate the shift lever if the 
brake pedal is applied while the shift lever release 
button is held down.
Depress the brake pedal first.

Driving

Use the paddle shifters to change between 1st and 8th gears without releasing your 
hands from the steering wheel. The transmission will switch to the sequential shift 
mode.

When the shift lever is in 

(

D:

The vehicle will go into the sequential shift mode momentarily, and the gear position 
indicator will come on.
Once you start traveling at a constant speed, the sequential shift mode will 
automatically switch off, and the gear position indicator will go off.

Hold the 

(

+ paddle shifter for two seconds to return to normal drive.

When the shift lever is in 

(

S:

The vehicle will go into the sequential shift mode, and the M (sequential mode) 
indicator and gear position indicator will come on. At speeds of 2 mph (4 km/h) or 
less, the vehicle automatically shifts down into 1st gear. It will not automatically shift 
up, even if vehicle speed increases.
If you are in 1st through 6th gears and do not operate the paddle shifters as engine 
speed increases approaches the tachometer red zone, the transmission 
automatically shifts up to the next gear.
When switching out of the sequential shift mode, move the shift lever from 

(

S to 

(

D. When the sequential shift mode is canceled, the M indicator and gear position 

indicator will turn off.

If you pull the

the gear position will be locked in 2nd gear. This makes it easier to pull away on

Sequential Shift Mode Operation

Each paddle shift operation makes a single gear 
change.
To change gears continuously, release the paddle 
shifter before pulling it again for the next gear.

If the gear position indicator blinks when you try to 
shift up or down, this means your vehicle speed is not 
in its allowable gear range.
Slightly accelerate to shift up and decelerate to shift 
down while the indicator is blinking.

Front Sensor Camera

*

Driving

Front Sensor Camera

*

The camera, used in systems such as LKAS, RDM, ACC, and CMBS

TM

, is designed to 

detect an object that triggers any of the systems to operate its functions.

This camera is located behind the rearview 
mirror.

To help reduce the likelihood that high interior 
temperatures will cause the camera’s sensing 
system to shut off, when parking, find a shady 
area or face the front of the vehicle away from 
the sun. If you use a reflective sun shade, do 
not allow it to cover the camera housing. 
Covering the camera can concentrate heat on 
it.

Camera Location and Handling Tips

1

Front Sensor Camera

*

Never apply a film or attach any objects to the 
windshield, hood, or front grill that could obstruct 
the camera’s field of vision and cause the system to 
operate abnormally.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield 
within the camera’s field of vision can cause the 
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we 
recommend that you replace the windshield with a 
genuine Acura replacement windshield. Making even 
minor repairs within the camera’s field of vision or 
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield 
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer 
recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the 
camera is necessary for the system to operate 
properly.

Do not place an object on the top of the instrument 
panel. It may reflect onto the windshield and prevent 
the system from detecting lane lines properly.
