System Precautions

In Case of a Collision

  • Be careful of electric shock hazard: If a severe crash damages your vehicle's high-voltage system, there is a possibility of electrical shock due to exposed high-voltage components or wires. If this happens, do not touch any of the high-voltage system components or any of its orange wires.
  • Avoid contact with high-voltage battery fluid: The High Voltage battery contains a flammable electrolyte that could leak as a result of a severe crash. Avoid any skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, as it is corrosive. If you accidentally touch it, flush your eyes or skin with a large quantity of water for at least five minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
  • Use a fire extinguisher for an electrical fire. Attempting to extinguish an electrical fire with water can be dangerous.
  • If the vehicle is damaged, have it repaired by an authorized Acura NSX dealer.

Emergency Shutdown System

The emergency shutdown system may activate during an impact or crash. When the system activates, your vehicle no longer will move under its own power. To return the High Voltage system to normal operation, consult an authorized Acura NSX dealer.

WARNING
Do not touch the high-voltage system. It can cause severe electrical shock. If the high-voltage system needs maintenance or repair, have it performed by an authorized Acura NSX dealer.
