Adjust the steering wheel, if needed,
so that the wheel points toward your
chest, not toward your face.

Pointing the steering wheel toward
your chest provides optimal
protection from the airbag.

See page

for how to adjust the

steering wheel.

If a seat belt does not seem to work
as it should, it may not protect the
occupant in a crash.

Anyone using a seat belt that is

not working properly can be
seriously injured or killed. Have your
Acura dealer check the belt as soon
as possible.
See page

for additional

information about your seat belt
system and how to take care of your
belts.

Sitting improperly can increase the
chance of injury during a crash. For
example, if an occupant slouches,
lies down, turns sideways, sits
forward, leans forward or sideways,
or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash is
greatly increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out of
position can be seriously or fatally
injured by striking interior parts of
the car, or by being struck by an
inflating airbag.

After occupants have adjusted their
seats and put on seat belts, it is very
important that they continue to sit
upright, well back in their seats, with
their feet on the floor, until the car is
parked and the engine is off.
