Acura 2010 TL Owner's Manual page 466

Your vehicle's starting system has an
auto control mode. When you have
your keyless access remote and push
the engine start/stop button while
depressing the brake pedal (A/T) or
clutch pedal (M/T), this feature
keeps the engine's starter motor
running until the engine starts.
Follow these instructions to start the
engine:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. In cold weather, turn off all
electrical accessories to reduce
the drain on the battery.
3. Manual transmission:
Press the clutch pedal down all the
way. The power mode from ON to
START does not function unless
the clutch pedal is pressed.
Automatic transmission:
Make sure the shift lever is in
Park. Press on the brake pedal.
Starting the Engine (Models with Keyless Access System)
In either of the following cases, you
should insert the keyless access
remote into the keyless remote slot.
For more information, see pages
188 and 189 .
The keyless access remote system
main switch is off.
The keyless access remote battery
becomes weak or dead.
4. Without touching the accelerator
pedal, push and release the engine
start/stop button. You do not need
to hold the engine start/stop
button to start the engine.
Depending on the outside
temperature, the starter motor
runs for about 6 to 9 seconds until
the engine starts.
If you hold the engine start/stop
button for more than 7 seconds,
the starter motor, depending on
the outside temperature, runs for
2010 TL
about 10 to 25 seconds until the
engine starts.
If the engine does not start, wait at
least 10 seconds before trying
again.
The immobilizer system protects your
vehicle f rom thef t. If an improperly
coded keyless access remote (or other
device) is used, the engine's f uel system
is disabled. For more inf ormation, see
page 143 .
The engine is harder to start in cold
weather. Also, the thinner air f ound at
altitudes above 8,000 f eet (2,400
meters) adds to this problem.
