Airbags - Acura MDX Sport Hybrid 2019 Owner's Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION
3. Position the lap part of the belt as
low as possible across your hips,
then pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt so the lap part fits snugly.
This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash and
reduces the chance of internal
inquiries.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt
again to remove any slack, then make sure that the belt rests across the
center of your chest and over your shoulder. This spreads the forces of
a crash over the strongest bones in your upper body.
To release the belt, push the red PRESS button then guide the belt by hand
until it has retracted completely.
Improperly positioning the seat belt can cause serious injury or death in a
crash.
Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.
n Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller
and shorter occupants.
1. Move the anchor up and down
while holding the release button.
2. Position the anchor so that the belt
rests across the center of your
chest and over your shoulder.

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.
8 |
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 front
passenger's seat. However, if you do allow a child age 12 or under to ride
in the front passenger's seat, note that the system will automatically turn
off the front passenger's airbag if the sensor's 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.
• Do not cover the passenger's side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover,
etc.
