Acura 2002 RL - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 51)

Your front and side airbag systems
are virtually maintenance-free, and
there are no parts you can safely
service. However, you must have
your car serviced if:
Any
airbag that has deployed must be
replaced along with the control
unit and other related parts. Do
not try to remove or replace any
airbag by yourself. This must be
done by an Acura dealer or a
knowledgeable body shop.
Together, airbags and
seat belts provide the best
protection.
Tampering could cause
the airbags to deploy, possibly
causing very serious injury.
See page for further information
and precautions relating to your
airbags.
Improperly
replacing or covering front seat-
back covers can prevent your side
airbags from inflating during a
collision.
If rain or spilled water
soaks into a seat-back, it can
prevent the side airbag system
from working properly.
Take your car to an
authorized Acura dealer as soon as
possible. If you ignore this
indication, the airbags might not
inflate when you need them.
