MAINTENANCE
Long-Term Storage
If you need to park your vehicle for an extended period (more than one month), there are several
things you should do to prepare it for storage. This helps reduce possible deterioration of vehicle
components and overall condition, which allows you to get the vehicle back on the road with
minimal delay. These are:
• If possible, store your NSX in a garage or enclosed area.
• Fill the fuel tank completely.
• Change the engine oil and filter.
• Wash and dry the exterior completely.
• Clean the interior. Make sure the carpeting, floor mats, etc., are completely dry.
• Put the transmission in Park (P). Release the parking brake.
• Leave one window open slightly (if the vehicle is being stored indoors).
• Connect the 12-volt battery to an accessory battery charger. For more information on how to
maintain your 12-volt battery, consult an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
• If the vehicle is to be stored for a longer period of time, it should be supported on jack stands
to raise the tires off the ground to prevent tire flat spotting. Consult an authorized Acura NSX
dealer for information about the correct jack stands.
• Support the front wiper blade arms with a folded towel or rag so they do not touch the
windshield.
• Cover the vehicle with a breathable cover, one made from a porous material, such as cotton.
Non-porous materials (such as plastic sheeting) may trap moisture, which can damage the
paint.
• If possible, remove the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area, remove covering, and
periodically run the engine until it reaches full operating temperature (the cooling fan cycles
on and off twice). Preferably, do this once a month.
• To maintain the High Voltage battery, drive your vehicle for more than 30 minutes at least
once every three months.
If road conditions are not suitable or desirable for driving, the following alternate procedure can
be used to maintain the vehicle’s High Voltage battery if local laws permit idling:
1. Remove the vehicle from the garage or enclosed area to prevent carbon monoxide
accumulation.
2. Depress the brake pedal and press the ENGINE START/STOP button as you normally would
to start the vehicle.
3. Allow the vehicle to run for 30 minutes. Time spent at idle stop still counts as part of this
30-minute run.
Paint Care
Your vehicle’s paint requires up to 60 days from the production date to fully cure. During this
time, avoid applying any wax or paint sealant-type products, as they could hinder the curing
process and affect the paint’s durability.
You may polish the paint during these 60 days if the polishes do not contain any wax or paint
sealant ingredients. Use only clean, high-quality microfiber towels or pads, as they are softer
material and have less chance of scratching the finish. It is absolutely necessary to keep the
microfiber towels or pads properly cleaned and maintained before using on your vehicle.
For more information, contact an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
