INTRODUCTION
This Owner's Guide is intended to help you quickly get acquainted with your
2016 Acura
TLX. It provides basic information and instructions on technology and
convenience features, as well as emergency procedures and how to get assistance.
This guide is for vehicles sold in the United States and Canada. It covers all TLX
models, so you may find descriptions of features and equipment that are not in
your vehicle.
Images throughout this guide are from U.S. vehicles and represent features and
equipment that are available on some, but not all, models. Images shown in this
guide should be considered examples and used for demonstration purposes only.
This guide is not intended to be a substitute for the Owner's Manual. The Owner
Information CD enclosed in your glove box kit includes the Owner's Manual,
Navigation Manual, and vehicle and tire warranties in electronic format. This
information can be viewed on a computer (PC or Mac platform) and saved
or printed for your reference. You can also visit owners.acura.com to view the
complete and most current information.
If you are the first registered owner of your vehicle, you may request a
complimentary printed copy of the Owner's Manual, Navigation Manual, or Vehicle
Warranty up to the first six months after vehicle purchase. To request a copy, visit
owners.acura.com and create or log in to your account. In Canada, please request a
copy from your Acura dealer.
American Honda Motor Company strives to be proactive in protecting our
environment and natural resources. By using electronic delivery for a considerable
portion of the information typically found in a vehicle owner's manual, we are
further reducing our impact on the environment.
