Seat Belts

Child Seat Anchor Plate

An attachment point is provided for a child restraint

system which uses a top tether. The tether bracket and

bolt are available at your Acura dealer. The tether at-

tachment point is located on the panel behind the

passenger's seat-back.

1. Adjust the passenger seat fully forward to make

room behind the seat-back.

2. Using the dimensions shown, measure and mark

the location of the attachment point on the interior

panel.

3. Use a razor blade or sharp knife to carefully cut a 1

inch diameter circle at the point you marked. Cut

through one layer at a time. You will need to

remove two layers to reach the tether attachment.

4. Install the tether bracket and bolt and tighten to:

16 Ibf-ft (22 N-m)

Make sure to route the tether through the space be-

tween the headrest and seat.

chor plate with the toothed washer attached to

it.

• When installing a child seat, follow the instruc-

tions of the manufacturer of the child seat.

• Additional anchor plates are available.

Do not use the anchor plate for any

other purpose; it is designed exclusively for in-

stallation of a child seat.

One or both inoperative:

1. Check for voltage between the YEL/BLK1 terminal

and body ground with the ignition switch ON (II).

There should be battery voltage.

If there is no voltage, check for an open in the

YEL/BLK1 wire.

If there is battery voltage, go to step 2.
2. Check for continuity between the BLK terminal and

body ground.

There should be continuity. If there is no continui-

ty, check for:

An open in the BLK wire.

Poor ground (G401, G402, G403).

Left inoperative:

Connect the YEL/BLK1 terminal to the YEL/RED terminal

and the YEL/WHT (or YEL/BLK2) terminal to body

ground with jumper wires.

The left mirror should tilt down (or swing left) when the

ignition switch is turned ON (II).

If the
mirror does
not
tilt
down
(or
does

swing

left), check for an open in the YEL/WHT (or

YEL/BLK2) wire between the left door mirror and the

switch.

If the wire is OK, check the mirror.

If the mirror doesn't move in either direction, repair

the YEL/RED wire.

If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror

switch.

Right inoperative:

Connect the YEL/BLK1 terminal to the BLU/GRN ter-

minal and the YEL/WHT (or BLU/BLK) terminal to the

body ground with jumper wires.

The

open in the YEL/WHT or BLU/BLK) wire between the

right door mirror and the switch.

If the wire is OK, check the right door mirror.

If the mirror doesn't move in either direction, repair

the BLU/GRN wire.

If the mirror operates properly, check the mirror
