Acura 2012 TL - Manual (Page 494)

If you cannot start the engine using
the normal engine start procedure,
do the following:
Set the parking brake.
If there is a problem with the
starting system, you will see a
‘‘CHECK STARTING SYSTEM’’
message on the multi-information
display with the power mode ON.
You will also see this message when
the auto control mode of the starting
system has a problem.
Do not follow this procedure unless
it is a case of emergency. Even if you
can start the engine using this
method, the system may have a
malfunction. Contact your dealer as
soon as possible.
Press and hold the engine start/
stop button for about 15 seconds
while pressing the brake pedal
(automatic) or the clutch pedal
(manual).
Press the engine start/stop button
to turn on the ACCESSORY mode.
Put the shift lever into Park.
If this message is on, you should
press and hold the engine start/stop
button until the engine starts. The
engine start/stop button may need to
be held several seconds before the
starter motor runs. The starter
motor can be run up to 15 seconds.
Your vehicle has the engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch to select the power mode. For
more information, see page
.
Even though you may be able to
start the engine manually without
the auto control mode of the starting
system, have your vehicle inspected
by a dealer.
