uuAirbagsuAirbag System Components
Safe Driving
The front, driver’s knee, side, and side
curtain airbags are deployed according to
the direction and severity of impact. Both
side curtain airbags are deployed in a
rollover. The airbag system includes:
aTwo SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
front airbags. The driver’s airbag is stored
in the center of the steering wheel; the
passenger’s airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked SRS
AIRBAG .
bDriver’s knee airbag. The knee airbag is
stored under the steering column. It is marked SRS AIRBAG .
cTwo side airbags, one for the driver and
one for a passenger. The airbags are
stored in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
dTwo side curtain airbags, one for each
side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored
in the ceiling, above the side windows.
The front and rear pillars are marked
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG .
eAn electronic control unit that, when the
power system is on, continually monitors
information about the various impact
sensors, seat and buckle sensors, rollover
sensor, airbag activators, seat belt
tensioners, and other vehicle
information. During a crash event the
unit can record such information.
fAutomatic seat belt tensioners. In
addition, the driver’s and passenger’s
seat belt buckles incorporate sensors that
detect whether or not the belts are fastened.
gWeight sensors in the passenger’s seat.
The passenger’s airbag will be turned off
if the weight on the seat is approximately
65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight of an
infant or small child).
hImpact sensors that can detect a
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
iAn indicator on the dashboard that alerts
you that the passenger’s front airbag has
been turned off.
jAn indicator on the instrument panel that
alerts you to a possib le problem with your
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
kA rollover sensor that can detect if your
vehicle is about to roll over and signal the
control unit to deploy both side curtain airbag.

Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Acura NSX dealer in the following situations:
■ When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt te nsioner has been activated, it must be
replaced. ■ When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not in flate, have an authorized Acura NSX dealer inspect the
following: the weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, seat belt tensioners, and each
seat belt that was worn during the crash. ■ Do not remove or modify a seat without consulting an authorized Acura
NSX dealer
This would likely disable or affect the prope r operation of the weight sensors in the
passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to re move or modify a seat to accommodate a
person with disabilities, contac t an authorized Acura NSX dealer, or for U.S. vehicles,
Acura Client Relations at 1-844-682-2872 and for Canadian vehicles, Acura Client
Service at 1-888-9-ACURA-9 or 1-844-9-MYNSX-9 (NSX-specific).
1Airbag Care
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, includi ng the airbag, tensioners,
sensors, and control unit.

uuChild SafetyuSafety of Infants and Small Children
Safe DrivingSince this vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do not carry a
child, age 12 or under, as a passenger.
This is because placing a forward-facing child seat in the passenger’s seat can be
hazardous, even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn the
passenger’s front airbag off.
If you choose to ignore our warnings and transport a small child in this vehicle, be
sure to move the passenger seat as far to the rear as possible, and follow the
instructions and guidelines in the following pages.
■Protecting Smaller Children1Protecting Smaller Children
Educate yourself about th e laws and regulations
regarding child seat use wh ere you are driving, and
follow the child seat manufacturer’s instructions.
A child seat must be secure d to the vehicle with the
lap part of a lap/shoulder be lt. A child whose seat is
not properly secured to the vehicle can be
endangered in a crash.
3WARNING
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the
passenger’s seat can resu lt in serious injury
or death if the fron t airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child
seat in passenger’s seat, move the vehicle
seat as far back as possible, and properly
restrain the child.

1High Voltage Battery Charge Level Gauge
The High Voltage battery ch arge level may decrease
under the following conditions: • When the 12-volt battery has been replaced.
• When the 12-volt battery has been disconnected.
• When the High Voltage battery control system
corrects its reading.
The charge level readi ng will be corrected
automatically while driving.
Changes in the temperature of the High Voltage
battery can increase or decrease the battery’s
charging capacity. If temp erature changes cause the
battery’s capacity to change, the number of
indicators in the battery ch arge level gauge may also
change, even if the amount of charging remains the
