CONTINUED

The driver’s and front passenger’s

seats have active head restraints. If

the vehicle is struck severely from

the rear, the occupant properly

secured with the seat belt will be

pushed against the seat-back and the

head restraint will automatically

move forward.

This reduces the distance between

the restraint and the occupant’s head.

It also helps protect the occupants

against whiplash and injuries to the

neck and upper spine.

After a collision, the activated

restraint should return to its normal

position.

If the restraints do not return to their

normal position, or in the event of a

severe collision, have the vehicle

inspected by an Acura dealer.

For a head restraint system to work

properly:

Do not hang any items on the head

restraints, or from the restraint

legs.

Do not place any object between

an occupant and the seat-back.

Install each restraint in its proper

location.

Only use genuine Acura

replacement head restraints.
