Acura 2006 TSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 37)

Improperly replacing
or covering front seat-back covers
can prevent your side airbags from
inflating during a side impact.
This could make the
driver’s seat position sensor or the
front passenger’s weight sensors
ineffective. If it is necessary to
remove or modify a front seat to
accommodate a person with
disabilities, first contact Acura
Client Services at 800-382-2238.
If water or another liquid
soaks into a seat-back, it can
prevent the side airbag cutoff
system from working properly.
Make sure that the folded-down
rear seat does not press the front
passenger’s seat-back. Check the
passenger airbag off indicator to
confirm that the passenger’s
advanced front airbag is operating
properly.
This will cause the
front passenger’s weight sensors
to work improperly. The system
may shut off the front passenger’s
airbag and the passenger airbag
off indicator will come on. The
seat belt reminder indicator and a
‘‘PASSENGER FASTEN
SEATBELT’’ message in the multi-
information display may also work
improperly.
Even if your
airbags do not inflate, your dealer
should inspect the driver’s seat
position sensor, the front
passenger’s weight sensors, the
front seat belt tensioners, and all
seat belts worn during the crash to
make sure they are operating
properly.
Together, airbags and
seat belts provide the best
protection.
Tampering could cause
the airbags to deploy, possibly
causing very serious injury.
