System Indicator: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

This system has an active damper system indicator (A).

When the active damper system is working correctly, the active damper system indicator comes on after turning the ignition switch ON (II), and it goes off when the engine is started.

The system detects a problem, the indicator comes on, then the indicator will stay on until the ignition switch is turned to LOCK (0), or until the problem goes away (system returns to normal), the indicator will then go off.

NOTE: The damper system mode is controlled by the active damper system switch and is indicated on the MID (multi-information display) (B).
