How Your Side Airbags Work - Acura 2010 TL Owner's Manual

Additional Information About Your Airbags
To ensure that the passenger's
advanced front airbag system will
work properly,
do not do anything
that would increase or decrease the
weight on the front passenger's seat.
This includes:
A rear passenger pushing or
pulling on the back of the front
passenger's seat.
Moving the front seat or seat-back
forcibly back against cargo on the
seat or floor behind it.
Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.
30
Back seat passengers should not
wedge objects or intentionally
force their feet under the front
passenger seat.
Also, make sure the floor mat
behind the front passenger's seat
is hooked to the floor mat anchor
(see page 529 ). If it is not, the mat
may interfere with the proper
operation of the sensors and
operation of the seat.

How Your Side Airbags Work

If you ever have a moderate to
severe side impact, sensors will
detect rapid acceleration and signal
the control unit to instantly inflate
either the driver's or the passenger's
side airbag.
