Protecting Adults And Teens; Close And Lock The Doors; Adjust The Front Seats - Acura 2004 TL Owner's Manual

Main Menu Table of Contents
The following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect the driver, adult passengers
and teenage children who are large
enough and mature enough to ride in
the front seat.
See page 29 for important guidelines
on how to properly protect infants,
small children, and larger children
who ride in your vehicle.
1.

Close and Lock the Doors

After everyone has entered the
vehicle, be sure the doors are closed
and locked.
Locking the doors reduces the
chance of someone being thrown out
of the vehicle during a crash, and it
helps prevent passengers from
accidentally opening a door and
falling out.
Locking the doors also helps prevent
an outsider from unexpectedly
opening a door when you come to a
stop.
See page 82 for how to lock the
doors.

Adjust the Front Seats

Adjust the driver's seat as far to the
rear as possible while allowing you to
maintain control of the vehicle. Have
your front passenger adjust their
seat as far to the rear as possible.
If you sit too close to the steering
wheel or dashboard, you can be
seriously injured by an inflating front
airbag, or by striking the steering
wheel or dashboard.
