lane assist ACURA RL 2012 Owners Manual

For added saf ety, the f ront seat belts
are equipped with e-pretensioners
that work in combination with the
collision mitigation braking system
(CMBS ) (see page ) and the
brake pedal assist f unction (see page
).If your vehicle gets too close to the
vehicle ahead of it in your lane, the
driver’s e-pretensioner slightly
retracts the seat belt to alert the
driver of the approaching vehicle. If
a collision with the vehicle in f ront of
you is likely, the e-pretensioners on
both front seats retract the seat belts
with enough f orce to properly
restrain you and your f ront
passenger. After they activate, the
e-pretensioners release the retracted
seat belts.
To get the f ull benef it of the
e-pretensioners, you and your f ront
passenger must sit normally in your
seats and wear your seat belts
properly (see page ).The e-pretensioners do not activate
when the vehicle stability assist
(VSA) of f indicator on the
instrument panel is on.
If the automatic seat belt tensioners
are activated by a collision, both
f ront seat belts and all related
components must be replaced (see
page ). If only the
e-pretensioners were activated, no
components need to be replaced.
In addition, the f ront passenger’s
e-pretensioner does not activate
when the passenger’s airbag is
automatically turned off because the
weight sensor detects a child in the
f ront passenger’s seat. 17
