Acura 2011 ZDX - Manual (Page 35)

The passenger's advanced front
airbag system has weight sensors
under the seat. Although Acura does
not encourage carrying an infant or
small child in front, if the sensors
detect the weight of an infant or
small child (up to about 65 lbs or 29
kg), the system will automatically
turn the passenger's front airbag off.
Be aware that objects placed on the
passenger's seat can also cause the
airbag to be turned off.
When the passenger airbag gets
turned off by the weight sensors, a
‘‘passenger airbag off’’ indicator in
the center of the dashboard comes
on (see page
35 ).
If the weight sensors detect there is
no passenger in the front seat, the
airbag is automatically turned off.
However, the passenger airbag off
indicator in this situation will not
come on.
To ensure that the passenger's
advanced front airbag system will
work properly, do not do anything
that would increase or decrease the
weight on the front passenger's seat.
This includes:
● A rear passenger pushing or
pulling on the back of the front
passenger's seat.
●
Moving the front seat forcibly back
against cargo on the seat or floor
behind it.
● Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.
● Moving the front passenger's seat
or seat-back forcibly back against
the folded rear seat.
●
Back seat passengers should not
wedge objects or intentionally
force their feet under the front
passenger seat.
Also, make sure the floor mat behind
the front passenger's seat is hooked
to the floor mat anchor (see page
563 ). If it is not, the mat may
interfere with the proper operation of
the sensors and operation of the seat.
