Acura 2011 TL - Manual (Page 47)

Even with advanced front airbags
that automatically turn the
passenger’s front airbag off (see
page
), a back seat is the safest
place for a small child.
If it is necessary to put a forward-
facing child seat in the front, move
the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, and be sure the child seat is
firmly secured to the vehicle and the
child is properly strapped in the seat.
We strongly recommend placing a
forward-facing child seat in a back
seat, not the front.
If the vehicle seat is too
far forward, or the child’s head is
thrown forward during a collision, an
inflating airbag can strike the child
with enough force to cause very
serious or fatal injuries.

Protecting Infants and Small Children
Child Seat Placement
Placing a f orward-f acing child seat in
the f ront seat of a vehicle equipped
with a passenger’s airbag can be
hazardous.
44
Placing a forward-facing child
seat in the front seat can result
in serious injury or death if the
front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-
facing child seat in front, move
the vehicle seat as far back as
possible, and properly restrain
the child.
