How the Side Airbag Cutoff
Indicator Works
This indicator alerts you
that the passenger's side
airbag has been automatically shut
off. It does not mean there is a
problem with your side airbags.
To reduce the risk of injury from an
inflating side airbag, your vehicle has
an automatic cutoff system for the
passenger's side airbag.
Although Acura does not encourage
children to ride in front, this system
is designed to shut off the side
airbag if a child leans sideways and
the child's head is in the side airbag
deployment path.
Additional Information About Your Airbags
If a short adult leans sideways, or a
larger adult slouches and leans
sideways into the side airbag
deployment path, the system may
also shut off the side airbag.
To get the best protection from the
side airbags, front seat occupants
should wear their seat belts and sit
upright and well back in their seats.
