Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Indicator This indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. If this indicator comes on at any other time, there is a problem in the ABS. If this happens, take the vehicle to your dealer to have it checked. With this indicator on, your vehicle still has normal braking ability but no anti-lock function. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK ABS SYSTEM’’ message on the multi- information display (see page 88). For more information, see page 461. 70 2013 MDX12/07/17 18:10:57 13 ACURA MDX MMC North America Owner's M 50 31STX660 enu Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) System Indicator This indicator normally comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. It flashes when VSA is active (see page 473). If it comes on and stays on at any other time, there is a problem with the VSA or Hill Start Assist system. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK VSA SYSTEM’’ message on the multi- information display (see page 88). Take your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked. Without VSA, your vehicle still has normal driving ability, but will not have VSA traction and stability enhancement. For more information, see page 473.

This indicator has two functions: 1. If it comes on while driving, it indicates that one or more of your vehicle's tires are significantly low on pressure. You will also see a ‘‘CHECK TIRE PRESSURE’’ message on the multi- information display (see page 88). Check the tire pressure monitor on the multi-information display and determine the cause (see page 456). 72 If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, check which tire has lost pressure on the multi- information display, and determine the cause. If it is because of a flat tire, have the flat tire repaired as soon as possible. If two or more tires are underinflated, call a professional towing service. For more information, see page 572. 2. If this indicator begins to flash, there is a problem with the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). You will also see a ‘‘CHECK TPMS SYSTEM’’ message on the multi-information display. The indicator continues to flash for a while (approximately 1 minute), then stays on. If this happens, have your dealer check the system as soon as possible. For more information, see page 458. A/T Temperature Indicator This indicator monitors the temperature of the automatic transmission fluid. It should come on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. If it comes on while driving, it means the transmission fluid temperature is too high. Pull to the side of the road when it is safe, shift to Park, and let the engine idle until the indicator goes out. You will also see an ‘‘A/T TEMP HIGH’’ message on the multi- information display (see page 88). Continuing to drive with the A/T temperature indicator on may cause serious damage to the transmission. 2013 MDX12/07/17 18:10:57 13 ACURA MDX MMC North America Owner's M 50 31STX660 enu Message Indicator This indicator comes on when there is a system message on the multi- information display.

During normal operation, the pointer should rise to about the middle of the gauge. In severe driving conditions, the pointer may rise to the upper zone. If it reaches the red (hot) mark, pull safely to the side of the road. For instructions and precautions on checking the engine's cooling system, see page 560. Fuel Gauge This shows how much fuel you have. It may show slightly more or less than the actual amount. Avoid driving with an extremely low fuel level. Running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, damaging the catalytic converter. 2013 MDX12/07/17 18:10:57 13 ACURA MDX MMC North America Owner's M 50 31STX660 enu The multi-information display in the instrument panel displays various information and messages when the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position.

ODOMETER The odometer shows the total distance your vehicle has been driven. It measures miles in U.S. models and kilometers in Canadian models. It is illegal under U.S. federal law and Canadian provincial/ territorial regulations to disconnect, reset, or alter the odometer with the intent to change the number of miles or kilometers indicated. This meter shows the number of miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada) driven since you last reset it. There are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip B. Each trip meter works independently, so you can keep track of two different distances. To reset a trip meter, display it, and then press and hold the SEL/RESET button until the number resets to ‘‘0.0.’’ CONTINUED 81 2013 MDX12/07/17 18:10:57 13 ACURA MDX MMC North America Owner's M 50 31STX660 enu Multi-Information Display When you reset Trip A, average fuel economy A is reset at the same time. When you reset Trip B, average fuel economy B is reset. In the customizing mode, you can set Trip A and average fuel economy A to reset at the same time when you refuel your vehicle (see page 102). 82 Outside Temperature OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE U.S. CANADA This shows the outside Fahrenheit temperature in U.S. models, and Celsius temperature in Canadian models. The temperature sensor is in the front bumper. The temperature reading can be affected by heat reflection from the road surface, engine heat, and the exhaust from surrounding traffic. This can cause an incorrect temperature reading when your vehicle speed is under 19 mph (30 km/h). When you start your trip, the sensor is not fully acclimatized, therefore it may take several minutes until the proper temperature is displayed. In certain weather conditions, temperature readings near freezing (32°F, 0°C) could mean that ice is forming on the road surface. You can adjust the outside temperature display (see page 101). 2013 MDX12/07/17 18:10:57 13 ACURA MDX MMC North America Owner's M 50 31STX660 enu Engine Oil Life ENGINE OIL LIFE SH-AWD Torque Distribution Monitor Tire Pressure Monitor Multi-Information Display This shows the remaining life of the engine oil.
