Acura 2014 TL is a technologically advanced vehicle that offers a range of features to enhance your driving experience. With its Keyless Access System, you can unlock and lock the doors, open the trunk, and start the engine without ever taking out your keys. The Multi-Information Display (MID) provides you with useful information such as odometer, trip meter, average fuel economy, and tire pressure. The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts you when one or more of your tires has significantly low pressure, helping you to maintain optimal tire pressure and avoid flats.

Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to

the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of

collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.

Always make sure you and your passengers wear seat belts, and that young children

are properly secured in a child seat or booster in the rear seat. Never place an infant

seat in the front passenger’s seat, as the force of a deploying airbag can seriously

injure an infant.

F U E L R E Q U I R E M E N T

Only use unleaded gasoline of 91 octane or higher.

• Acura recommends TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline where available.

• Do NOT use gasoline containing more than 10% ethanol.

• Do NOT use gasoline containing methanol.

• Do NOT use gasoline containing MMT.

• See your Owner’s Manual for more information.

Some gasoline in North America contains MMT, a manganese-based fuel additive.

Prolonged and consistent use of gasoline containing MMT can deteriorate your

vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emission control system. Always

use MMT-free gasoline if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline containing

MMT may not be covered under your new vehicle warranty.

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline (recommended) never contains MMT and has

detergent additives to keep your engine clean. For further information on fuel and

lubricants for your car and information on gasoline that does not contain MMT,

contact your dealer or visit owners.acura.com.
