Acura 2011 RL - Manual (Page 48)

Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states, Canadian provinces and
territories, and can be very
hazardous.
Children
who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles. Know how to
operate the emergency trunk
opener and decide if your children
should be shown how to use this
feature (see page
).
This can prevent
children from accidentally falling
out (see page
). If a child wraps a loose
seat belt around their neck, they
can be seriously or fatally injured.
(See pages
and for how to
activate and deactivate the
lockable retractor.)
Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the trunk, which
can lead to accidental injury or
death.
For example, infants and small
children left in a vehicle on a hot
day can die from heatstroke. A
child left alone with the key in the
ignition switch can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others.

Do not leave children alone in a
vehicle.
Lock all doors and the trunk when
your vehicle is not in use. Use the childproof door locks to
prevent children f rom opening the
rear doors. Make sure any unused seat belt
that a child can reach is buckled,
the lockable retractor is activated,
and the belt is f ully retracted and
locked.
Keep vehicle keys/remote
transmitters out of the reach of
children.
