Check Under the Hood
Even if you're not a mechanic, you can often pinpoint problem areas by looking under the hood. Check the following:
Battery
Hoses
Belts
Coolant
Check your battery terminals periodically. If they're covered with white or yellowish powder, they're corroded. Clean them with a solution of baking soda and water. Once the corrosion is gone, keep it away by coating the terminals with grease.
Consider the effects of weather. Extremely hot and cold weather put extra strain on your battery. Before winter and summer are too far advanced, ask your Acura dealer to check your battery. If a battery check reveals less than optimal power, consider replacing it before it becomes a problem.
