Acura 2012 RDX - Manual (Page 31)

Your airbag system includes:
●
Two SRS (supplemental restraint
system) front airbags. The driver's
airbag is stored in the center of the
steering wheel; the front
passenger's airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked
‘‘SRS
AIRBAG ’’ (see page 26).
● Two side airbags, one for the
driver and one for a front
passenger. The airbags are stored
in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked
‘‘SIDE
AIRBAG ’’ (see page 30).
● Two side curtain airbags, one for
each side of the vehicle. The
airbags are stored in the ceiling,
above the side windows. The front
and rear pillars are marked
‘‘SIDE
CURTAIN AIRBAG ’’ (see page 31).
●
Automatic front seat belt
tensioners (see page 22).
●
Sensors that can detect a moderate
to severe front impact, side impact,
or rollover.
●
Sensors that can detect whether a
child is in the passenger's side
airbag path and signal the control
unit to turn the airbag off (see
page 30).
● Sensors that can detect whether
the driver's seat belt and the front
passenger's seat belt are latched or
unlatched (see page 20).
● A driver's seat position sensor that
monitors the distance of the seat
from the front airbag. If the seat is
too far forward, the airbag will
inflate with less force (see page
28).
●
Weight sensors that monitor the
weight on the front passenger's
seat. If the weight is about 65 lbs
(29 kg) or less (the weight of an
infant or small child), the
passenger's front airbag will be
turned off (see page 28).
● A rollover sensor that can detect if
your vehicle is about to roll over
and signal the control unit to
deploy both side curtain airbags
(see page 31).
●
A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors and
records information about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, the seat belt
tensioners, and driver and front
passenger seat belt use when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position.
