Child Safety - Acura NSX Owner's Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not remove or modify a front seat without first consulting a dealer
This would likely disable or affect the weight sensors in the passenger's seat. If it
is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to accommodate a person with
disabilities, contact an Acura NSX dealer. For U.S. vehicles, call Acura NSX Client
Relations at 844-682-2872 For Canadian vehicles, call Acura Client Services at
(888) 922-8729 or 1-844-9-MYNSX-9 (NSX specific).

Child Safety

Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are
either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisions are the
number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a rear seat.
Some states or provinces/territories have laws restricting where children may ride.
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian province,
and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they
ride in a vehicle. Never put a rear-facing child seat in this vehicle.
n Protecting Child Passengers – Important Considerations
• Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do
not carry a child, age 12 or under, as a passenger. This is because an inflating
front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the passenger's seat.

• A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver's ability to
safely control the vehicle.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in
an approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either the
lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH
system.
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the
event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjustments.
