INTRODUCTION

This is a quick reference guide to acquaint you with your 2020 MDX. It
provides basic information and instructions on technology and convenience
features, as well as emergency procedures and how to get assistance.
This guide is for vehicles sold in the United States and Canada. It covers all
variations of your model, so you may find descriptions of features and
equipment that are not in your vehicle. Images throughout this guide
represent features and equipment that are available on some, but not all,
models.
This guide is not intended to be a substitute for the Owner's Manual. Visit
owners.acura.com (U.S.) or acura.ca (Canada) to view the most current
Owner's Manual, Navigation Manual, Vehicle Warranty, and the tire
manufactures' warranties.
If you are the first registered owner of your vehicle, you may request a
complimentary printed copy of the Owner's Manual, Navigation Manual, or
Vehicle Warranty within the first six months of vehicle purchase.
 To request
a copy, visit owners.acura.com and create or log in to your account. In Canada,
please request a copy from your Acura dealer.
