Acura 2007 TL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 16)

Adjust the driver’s head restraint so
the back of your head rests against
the center of the restraint.
Reclining a seat-back so that the
shoulder part of the belt no longer
rests against the occupant’s chest
reduces the protective capability of
the belt. It also increases the chance
of sliding under the belt in a crash
and being seriously injured. The
farther a seat-back is reclined, the
greater the risk of injury.
See page for how to adjust the
seat-backs.
Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a
comfortable, upright position,
leaving ample space between your
chest and the airbag cover in the
center of the steering wheel.
Passengers with adjustable seat-
backs should also adjust their seat-
back to a comfortable, upright
position.
Have passengers adjust their head
restraints properly as well. Taller
persons should adjust their restraint
as high as possible.

Reclining the seat-back too far
