About This Advanced Technology Guide

This Advanced Technology Guide has been prepared to help you get quickly acquainted with your new Acura, and to provide refer- ence instructions on driving controls and convenience items.

However, this guide is not intended as a substitute for the Owners Manual. For complete information on operating the vehicle safely, please refer to the Owners Manual.

As with the Owners Manual, this guide covers all models of the Acura RDX. Therefore, you may find descriptions of equipment and features that are not on your particular model.

Safety Reminder

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 passengers seat as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously injure an infant.

Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive. Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can deteriorate your vehicles performance, fuel economy, and the emissions control system. Always use MMT-free gasoline if alternatives exist. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing MMT may not be covered under warranty.

For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your car and information on gasoline that does not contain MMT, contact your dealer or visit Owner Link at www.acura.com.
