2011–2014 Acura TSX FAQ

How do I use the high beams and flash them?

2012–2014

  1. Push the lever forward until it clicks to turn on the high beams.
  2. Pull the lever back to return to low beams, or pull and release it to flash the high beams.
  3. 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.

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.

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.

How do I check when maintenance is due?

2012–2014

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON, then repeatedly press SEL/RESET until the engine oil life appears.
  2. 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.

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.

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.

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.
