Driver and Passenger Safety
How the Automatic Seat Belt
Tensioners Work
Your Acura has automatic seat belt
tensioners for added protection
during a moderate to severe frontal
collision.
If your airbags inflate, the tensioners
immediately tighten the seat belts to
help hold the occupants in place. The
belts will remain tight until you
unbuckle them in the normal way.

Seat Belt Maintenance

For safety, you should check the
condition of your seat belts regularly.
Pull each belt out fully and look for
frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check
that the latches work smoothly and
that the lap/shoulder belts retract
easily. Any belt not in good condition
or not working properly will not
provide good protection and should
be replaced as soon as possible.
U.S. Models
Acura provides a lifetime warranty
on seat belts. Acura will repair or
replace any seat belt component that
fails to function properly during
normal use. Please see your Acura
Warranty Information booklet for
details.
