2011–2014 Acura TSX FAQ
How do I use the high beams and flash them?
2012–2014
- Push the lever forward until it clicks to turn on the high beams.
- Pull the lever back to return to low beams, or pull and release it to flash the high beams.
- Avoid repeatedly switching the headlights on and off because this reduces HID headlight bulb life.
2011
First switch on the fog light switch while the low beam headlights are on; the instrument panel indicator then lights up.
The fog lights go out if the headlights are turned off or the daytime running lights are on.
Page 109 in the 2011 manual →What should I do if the check engine light comes on?
2012–2014
The light indicates an emissions-control problem or a missing or loose fuel fill cap; avoid high speeds and have the vehicle inspected immediately by a dealer.
Page 296 in the 2014 manual →2011
The lamp may indicate an emissions-control problem or a missing or loose fuel fill cap.
Avoid high speeds and have the vehicle inspected immediately, because driving with the lamp on could damage the emissions system and engine.
Page 293 in the 2011 manual →What should I do if the brake system indicator comes on while driving?
2012–2014
If it comes on while driving, release the parking brake and check the brake fluid level; if ABS also appears, have the vehicle checked by a dealer.
Page 65 in the 2014 manual →What should I do if the malfunction indicator lamp comes on or blinks while driving?
2012–2014
If the lamp stays on, an emissions control system problem may exist; have a dealer check the vehicle.
For a blinking lamp, pull over where no flammable objects are present, turn off the engine for at least 10 minutes, let it cool, and then go to a dealer.
Page 66 in the 2014 manual →How do I check when maintenance is due?
2012–2014
- Turn the ignition switch to ON, then repeatedly press SEL/RESET until the engine oil life appears.
- When oil life is below 15%, Maintenance Minder messages appear at ignition-on and indicate when service is needed.
2011
Outside the Maintenance Minder, change brake fluid every 3 years, check idle speed at 160,000 miles (256,000 km), and adjust valves at A, B, 1, 2, or 3 services only when noisy.
Page 229 in the 2011 manual →When should I replace the cabin air filter?
2011
The Maintenance Minder messages tell you when to replace the dust and pollen filter; replace it sooner in areas with high dust concentrations.
If airflow noticeably deteriorates and the windows fog easily, contact a dealer for filter replacement.
Page 272 in the 2011 manual →What should I do if the low oil pressure indicator comes on while driving?
2011
If it comes on while driving, immediately stop in a safe place because the engine oil pressure is low.
Page 66 in the 2011 manual →Can I use a puncture-repairing agent on a flat tire?
2011
No; do not use a puncture-repairing agent on a flat tire because it can damage the tire pressure sensor.
