Properly preparing your Acura NSX Hybrid for seasonal storage ensures the vehicle remains in optimal condition during periods of inactivity. Whether you plan to store your NSX over winter or any extended time, following essential steps will protect the battery, engine, and overall vehicle performance.

Step-by-Step Guide to Seasonal Storage Preparation

  • Clean the Vehicle Thoroughly: Wash and wax the exterior to protect the paint. Clean the interior to prevent odors and pests.
  • Battery Maintenance: Disconnect the 12V battery or use a battery maintainer to keep it charged. For the high-voltage hybrid battery, consult your Acura dealer for specific recommendations.
  • Fuel System: Keep the fuel tank full to avoid condensation and add a fuel stabilizer to preserve fuel quality.
  • Fluids Check: Inspect and top off all fluids, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid.
  • Tire Care: Inflate tires to the recommended pressure to prevent flat spots during storage.
  • Parking Location: Store your NSX in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated area, preferably indoors and away from direct sunlight.
  • Use a Car Cover: Protect the vehicle from dust and debris with a breathable car cover suited for indoor storage.

By following these steps, your Acura NSX Hybrid will be ready to perform at its best when you take it out of storage. Regularly check on the vehicle during storage to address any issues early and maintain peace of mind.
