1. Horsepower and torque calculations reflect SAE net, Rev. 08/04, SAE J1349 procedures.
2. Accessory towing package required. Packages are available at an additional cost as a dealer-installed item. See your Owner's Manual for proper towing operation.
3. . Estimated fuel consumption based on Government of Canada's 5-cycle testing method. Your actual fuel consumption will vary based on driving habits and other factors – use for comparison only. For more information on 5-cycle testing, visit http://vehicles.nrcan.gc.ca.
4. 4. For optimal tire wear and performance, the pressure should be checked regularly with a tire gauge. Do not rely solely on the monitor system.
5. None of the features we describe are intended to replace the driver's responsibility to exercise due care while driving. Drivers should not use handheld devices or operate certain vehicle features unless it is safe and legal to do so. Some features have technological limitations. For more comprehensive product and feature information, limitations and restrictions, please visit www.acura.ca/disclaimers and refer to your vehicle's Owner's Manual.
6. Feature uses rear door sensors only. Sensors are designed to detect if a rear door was opened and closed since the last time the vehicle was turned off. Sensors do not detect the presence of rear-seat passengers or other items. Always check rear seats before exiting the vehicle.
7. Only compatible with certain devices and operating systems. Devices, cables and adapters are not included and must be purchased separately. Cellular data and/or voice charges may apply, including roaming charges and/or other amounts charged by your wireless carrier.
8. Only available in certain areas. Includes a no-charge trial of three months, beyond which service fees apply.
9. Amazon, Alexa and all related marks are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
10. Map Database of the Acura Navigation System covers major metropolitan areas in Canada and the 48 contiguous U.S. states. For a list of current, detailed coverage areas, refer to the Acura website, www.acura.ca.
11. HomeLink® can be programmed with codes of up to three remote-control devices (e.g., garage-door opener, home security system, etc.). Additional control devices not provided by Acura may be required.
12. New vehicles are equipped with a complimentary time or data trial period, whichever comes first. After the trial period, contact AT&T to purchase available data plans. 4G LTE connection speeds may vary by region.
13. Subscription required. Complimentary trial – 4 years for Security, 90 days for Remote, 90 days for Concierge – included, after which fees, taxes and other charges will apply in order to continue subscription. The availability of certain cellular networks is required for AcuraLink to operate properly. Service interruptions may occur and/or vehicle system upgrades may be required if cellular network availability is compromised. Ask your dealer for full terms and conditions.
14. Operation requires wireless mobile phone to be paired with the vehicle. Operation is dependent upon cellular data and/or voice connection availability and GPS satellite signal reception.
15. Based on SAE J1100 cargo volume measurement standard.
16. Based on SAE J1100 cargo volume measurement standard, plus rear footwell space and front seats moved forward.
