Airbags - Acura NSX Owner's Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION

Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with several types of airbags: front airbags, front knee
airbag, side airbags, and side curtain airbags.
Front Airbags (SRS)
n
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They are housed
in the center of the steering wheel for the driver and in the dashboard for the
front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant's primary
restraint system.
Driver's Knee Airbag
The driver's knee SRS airbag inflates in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to
help keep the driver in the proper position and to help maximize the benefit
provided by the vehicle's other safety features.

n Advanced Airbags
The front airbags have advanced features to
help reduce the likelihood of airbag related
injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver's advanced airbag system includes
a seat position sensor. Based on information
from this sensor and the severity of the
impact, the advanced airbag system
determines the optimal deployment of the
driver's airbag.
The front passenger's advanced airbag system has weight sensors.
We advise against allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the passenger's seat.
However, if you do allow a child age 12 or under to ride in the passenger's
seat, note that the system will automatically turn off the front passenger's
airbag if the sensors detect that the child is approximately 65 lbs (29 kg) or less.
For the advanced airbags to work properly:
• Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
• Do not put any object under the passenger's seat.
• Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor. Improperly
positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
• All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
