If necessary, pull up on the belt again
to remove any slack from the
shoulder part, then check that the
belt rests across the center of your
chest and over your shoulder. This
spreads the forces of a crash over
the strongest bones in your upper
body.

If the seat belt touches or crosses
your neck, or if it crosses your arm
instead of your shoulder, you need to
adjust the seat belt anchor height.

To adjust the height of a front seat
belt anchor, press the release button
and slide the anchor up or down as
needed (it has four positions).

This could cause

very serious injuries in a crash.

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.
