Occupant Protection Equipment - Honda Acura NSX 2017 Emergency Response Manual

Occupant Protection Equipment

Seatbelts and Airbags
The Acura NSX is equipped with lap/shoulder belts in both seating positions. The seat belts are equipped
with pyrotechnically activated tensioners that help tighten the seat belt in a crash.
In addition, the Acura NSX is equipped with the following airbags:
• Front Airbags - Driver / Passenger
• Side Airbags - Driver / Passenger
• Side Curtain Airbags - Driver / Passenger
• Knee Airbag - Driver
In a collision severe enough to deploy one or more of the airbags, the Acura NSX electrical system is
designed to automatically open the high-voltage electrical contactors. This disconnects the high-voltage
battery from the other high-voltage components and stops the flow of electricity in the high-voltage cables.
Responders should always assume, however, that the HV system is powered on and take the appropriate
action described later in this guide to power off the system.
It takes up to 3 minutes for the airbags and tensioners to power off after the 12-volt system has been turned off by
following the emergency shutdown procedures provided later in this guide.
