Acura 2004 RSX - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 13)

Your vehicle has a Supplemental
Restraint System (SRS) with front
airbags to help protect the heads and
chests of the driver and a front seat
passenger during a moderate to
severe frontal collision. (See page
for more information on how
your front airbags work.)
Your vehicle also has side airbags to
help protect the upper torso of the
driver or a front seat passenger
during a moderate to severe side
impact. (See page
for more
information on how your side airbags
work.)
The most important things you need
to know about your airbags are:
Always wear
your seat belt properly, and sit
upright, and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while
allowing full control of the vehicle. A
front passenger should move their
seat as far back from the dashboard
as possible.
To do
their job, airbags must inflate with
tremendous force. So while
airbags help save lives, they can
cause minor injuries or more
serious or even fatal injuries if
occupants are not properly
restrained or sitting properly.
They are designed to supplement
the seat belts.
