99 Acura TL very low on coolant - emergency?
You will see pictures above. I have had this Acura for close to a week, driving no more than an hour a day and all the fluids are good but the coolant. The level is very low. I just ordered Genuine Honda Long Life Coolant and should arrive by the 20th. Should I avoid driving until that day to avoid any bigger issues? The H/C gauge in my car is normal (usually at halfway point) and I checked the radiator level earlier this morning and saw some fluid in there.

Pour in some distilled water and see what happens.

OK. Am I going to have to do a coolant system flush now? I popped up the hood and it says to never dilute the coolant system - it will shorten the lifespan of the engine.

a cup or two of distilled water will not matter.
