Table of Contents
Modifying your vehicle, or installing
some non-Acura accessories, can
make your vehicle unsafe. Before
you make any modifications or add
any accessories, be sure to read the
following information.
Accessories
Your dealer has Acura accessories
that allow you to personalize your
vehicle. These accessories have
been designed and approved for your
vehicle.
Although aftermarket accessories
may fit on your vehicle, they may not
meet factory specifications, and
could adversely affect your vehicle's
handling and stability. (See
''Modifying Your Vehicle'' on page
164 for additional information.)
Improper accessories or
modifications can affect your
vehicle's handling, stability, and
performance, and cause a
crash in which you can be hurt
or killed.
Follow all instructions in this
owner's manual regarding

accessories and modifications.

When properly installed, cellular
phones, alarms, two-way radios, and
low-powered audio systems should
not interfere with your vehicle's
computer controlled systems, such
as the SRS, TPMS, and anti-lock
brake system.
Accessories and Modifications
Before installing any accessory:
Make sure the accessory does not
obscure any lights, or interfere
with proper vehicle operation or
performance.
Be sure electronic accessories do
not overload electrical circuits
(see page 246 ) or interfere with
proper operation of your vehicle.
Do not install accessories on the
side pillars or across the rear
windows as these may interfere
with proper operation of the side
curtain airbags.
Have the installer contact your
Acura dealer for assistance before
installing any electronic accessory.
If possible, have your dealer
inspect the final installation.
