Seat Belt with Detachable Anchor

The seat belt for the second-row center seat is located in the ceiling.

1. Pull out the seat belt’s small latch plate and the

latch plate from each holding slot in the ceiling.

2. Line up the triangle marks on the small latch

plate and anchor buckle. Make sure the seat
belt is not twisted. Attach the belt to the anchor
buckle.

3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle. Properly

fasten the seat belt the same way you fasten the
lap/shoulder seat belt.

To unlatch the detachable anchor, insert the
latch plate into the slot on the side of the
anchor buckle.

Using the seat belt with the detachable anchor unlatched increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Before using the seat belt, make sure the detachable anchor is correctly
latched.

WARNING

Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with several types of airbags: front airbags, driver’s knee
airbag, side airbags, and side curtain airbags.

Front Airbags (SRS)

The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They are housed
in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and in the dashboard for the
front passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’s primary
restraint system.

Driver’s Knee Airbag

The driver’s knee SRS airbag inflates with the driver’s front airbag in a moderate-
to-severe frontal collision to help keep the driver in the proper position and to
help maximize the benefit provided by the vehicle’s other safety features.

Advanced Airbags

Your front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag-
related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver’s advanced front airbag system includes
a seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward,
the airbag inflates with less force, regardless of the
severity of the impact.
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position
sensor, the SRS indicator will come on and
the airbag will inflate with full (normal) force,
regardless of the driver’s seating position.
The passenger’s advanced front airbag system
has weight sensors. Although Acura recommends
against carrying an infant or small child in front, if
the sensors detect the weight of a child (up to 65
lbs or 29 kg), the system will automatically turn off
the passenger’s front airbag.
For both advanced front airbags to work properly:

•  Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
•  Do not put any object under the passenger’s seat.
•  Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor. Improperly

positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.

•  All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
•  Do not place any cover over any part of the passenger side dashboard.
