Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace your seat
belts; they add to the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help
protect you in some types of collisions, but they do not provide protection in
all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young
children are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat.
Never place an infant seat in the front passenger’s seat as the force of a
deploying airbag can seriously injure an infant.

• Only use unleaded gasoline of 91 octane or higher.
• Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based
fuel additive. Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing
MMT can deteriorate your vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and
the emission control system. Always use MMT-free gasoline if available.
Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT may not be
covered under warranty.
• “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” meets a new gasoline standard jointly
established by leading automotive manufacturers to meet the needs
of today’s advanced engines. In most cases, qualifying gasoline
retailers will identify their gasoline as having met “TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline” standards at the retail location. This fuel is guaranteed to
contain the proper level of detergent additives and be free of metallic
additives. This helps avoid build-up of deposits in your engine and
emission control system. Because the level of detergency and harmful
metallic additives (such as MMT) in gasoline vary in the market, Acura
endorses the use of “TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline” where available to
help maintain the performance and reliability of your vehicle. For more

• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car
and information on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your
