Acura 2008 RL - Manual (Page 363)

If the SH-AWD indicator on the
instrument panel stays on, and the
multi-information display shows an
SH-AWD message, there is a
problem with the system. Your
vehicle still has normal front-wheel
drive with vehicle stability assist
(VSA), but does not have the
advantages of SH-AWD. Have your
vehicle checked by a dealer as soon
as possible.
Check the indicator on the
instrument panel to verify that the
security system is set.
If the vehicle is facing downhill,
turn the front wheels toward the
curb.
If the vehicle is facing uphill, turn
the front wheels away from the
curb.
Never park over dry leaves, tall
grass, or other flammable
materials. The hot three way
catalytic converter could cause
these materials to catch on fire.
Make sure the parking brake is
fully released before driving away.
Driving with the parking brake
partially set can overheat or
damage the rear brakes.
Set the parking brake before you put
the transmission in Park. This keeps
the vehicle from moving and putting
pressure on the parking mechanism
in the transmission.
Make sure the moonroof and the
windows are closed.
Turn off the lights.
Place any packages, valuables, etc.,
in the trunk or take them with you.
Lock the doors.
Always use the parking brake when
you park your vehicle. Make sure
the parking brake is set firmly or
your vehicle may roll if it is on an
incline.
