Safe DrivingThe driver’s and passenger’s seats are
equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners
to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the seat
belts during a moderate-to-severe frontal
collision, sometimes even if the collision is not
severe enough to inflate the front airbags or
the driver’s knee airbag.
■Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners1Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
The seat belt tensioners can only operate once.
If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come on. Have an authorized Ac ura NSX dealer replace the
tensioner and thoroughly insp ect the seat belt system
as it may not offer protecti on in a subsequent crash.
During a moderate-to-sev ere side impact, the
tensioner on that side of the vehicle also activates.

1.Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then

uMake sure that the belt is not twisted or
caught on anything.
1Fastening a Seat Belt
No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat
belt or one that does not appear to be working
correctly. Using a seat be lt that is not working
properly may not protect the occupant in a crash.
Have an authorized Acura NSX dealer check the belt
as soon as possible.
Never insert any foreign obj ects into the buckle or
retractor mechanism.
If the seat belt appears to be locked in a fully
retracted position, firmly pull out on the shoulder belt once, then push it back in.
Then smoothly pull it out of the retractor and fasten.
If you are unable to release the seat belt from a fully
retracted position, do not al low anyone to sit in the

Types of Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with four types of airbags: •Front airbags: Airbags in front of the driv er’s and passenger’s seats.
• Driver

Safe Driving
Side Curtain Airbags
The side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and any passengers
during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags equipped in this
vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial and complete
ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover
crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the
ceiling above the side windows on both sides
of the vehicle.
The side curtain airbag is designed to deploy
in a rollover or a moderate-to-severe side impact.
■Housing Locations
1Side Curtain Airbags
If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is
about to rollover, it imme diately deploys both side
curtain airbags and activates both seat belt
tensioners.
If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the
passenger’s side curtain airb ag deploys even if there
is no occupant on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protecti on from the side curtain
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts
properly and sit upr ight and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof
pillars as they can interfere with the proper operation
of the side curtain airbags.

An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the
infant reaches the seat manufacturer’s weig ht or height limit for the seat, and the
infant is at least one year old. Because rear-facing child seats should not be
used in this vehicle, you should never carry an infant in this vehicle.
■Protecting Infants1Protecting Infants
Rear-facing child seats should never be installed in a
forward-facing position.
3WARNING
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the
passenger’s seat can resu lt in serious injury
or death during a crash.
Never install a rear-facin g child seat in this
vehicle.

Safety of Larger Children
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, we recommend that you do not
carry a child age 12 or under as a pass enger. This is because children who
have outgrown child seats are also at ri sk of being injured or killed by an
inflating passenger

Safe DrivingIf a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used
properly, position the child in a booster seat in
the passenger’s seating position. For the
child’s safety, check th at the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
If you decide that a child can safely ride in this vehicle: • Make sure you read and full y understand the instructions and safety information
in this manual.
• Move the passenger seat as far back as possible.
• Have the child sit upright and well back in the seat.
• Check that the seat belt is properly positi oned so that the child is secure in the
seat.
■ Monitoring a child passenger
We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on a child passenger. Even older,
more mature children sometime s need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and
sit up properly.
■Booster Seats1Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat , make sure to read the
instructions that came with it, and install the seat
accordingly.
There are high- and low-type booster seats. Choose a booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat
belt correctly.
Some U.S. states, and Canadian provinces and territories require children to use a booster seat until
they reach a given age or we ight (e.g. six years or 60
lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or
province, or territory where you intend to drive.
