Acura NSX 2000, Owner'S Manual

General Precautions
Your Acura is designed to give you
optimum handling and performance
on well-maintained roads. As part of
this design, your car has a minimum
of ground clearance and very low-
profile tires.
Use caution if you should drive
your car on very rough or rutted
roads. You could damage the
suspension and underbody by
bottoming out. Going too fast over
parking lot "speed bumps" can
also cause damage.
Curbs and steep inclines could
damage the front and rear
bumpers. Low curbs that do not
affect the average car may be high
enough to hit the bumper on your
Acura. The front or rear bumper
may scrape when trying to drive
onto an incline, such as a steep
driveway or trailer ramps.
Because of the low-profile tires
fitted to your car, the alloy wheels
are closer to the ground. Driving
over a pothole or road debris at
too high a speed can seriously
damage a wheel. Slow down under
these conditions.
