uuSeat BeltsuAbout Your Seat Belts
32Safe Driving
The front seats are equipped with automatic
seat belt tensioners to enhance safety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the front
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.
Are the motor-powered pretensioners that
start to retract the front seat belts when the
CMBS
TM, brake assist system, or VSA® system
is in operation. They may also activate when
you steer the vehicle hard, or the vehicle is
impacted. After retracted, the seat belts are
slackened to their original positions.
As convenient features, the e-pretensioners
slightly retract the seat belts when you latch
the seat belt buckle, depress the brake pedal
more aggressively than you normally do, or
make a sharp turn, and fully retract when you
release the seat belt buckle.
■
Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
1Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
The seat belt tensioners can only operate once.
If a tensioner is activated, the SRS indicator will come
on. Have a dealer replace the tensioner and
thoroughly inspect the seat belt system as it may not
offer protection in a subsequent crash.
During a moderate-to-severe side impact, the
tensioner on that side of the vehicle also activates.
■

If only the e-pretensioners were activated, no
components need to be replaced.
The e-pretensioners may not work if:•Supplemental Restraint System Indicator is on.•Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®) System Indicator is

uuWhen DrivinguLane Departure Warning (LDW)
Continued
Driving
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)Alerts you when the system detects a possibility of your vehicle unintentionally
crossing over detected lane markings.
If your vehicle is getting too close to detected
left or right side lane markings without a turn
signal activated, LDW will give audible and
visual alerts.
The beeper sounds and the Lane Departure
message appears on the multi-information
display, letting you know that you need to
take appropriate action.
The system begins to search for lane markings when all the following conditions are met:
•The vehicle is traveling between at 40-90 mph (64-145 km/h).
•The vehicle is on a straight or slightly curved road.
•The turn signals are off.
•The brake pedal is not depressed.■
How the System Works
1Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Important Safety Reminder
Like all assistance systems, LDW has limitations.
Over-reliance on LDW may result in a collision. It is
always your responsibility to keep the vehicle within
your driving lane.
LDW only alerts you when lane drift is detected
without a turn signal in use. LDW may not detect all
lane markings or lane departures; accuracy will vary
based on weather, speed and lane marker condition.
It is always your responsibility to safely operate the
vehicle and avoid collisions.

uuWhen DrivinguLane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
*
Driving
The system can be used when the following conditions are met.
•The lane you are driving has detectable lane markers on both sides, and your
vehicle is in the center of the lane.
•The vehicle speed is between 45 – 90 mph (72 – 145 km/h).
•You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.
•The turn signals are off.
•The brake pedal is not depressed.
•The wipers are not in continuous operation.■How to activate the system
1.Press the MAIN button.
uThe LKAS is on in the multi-information
display.
The system is ready to use.
2.Press the LKAS button.
uLane outlines appear on the multi-
information display.
The system is activated.■
When the System can be Used
1Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS)
*
•Shadows of adjacent objects are parallel to lane
markings.•The windshield is dirty.•Where the roadway has crossing or other lines
(e.g., such as at an intersection).
1LKAS camera
Never apply a film or attach any objects to the
windshield that could obstruct the LKAS camera’s
field of vision.
Scratches, nicks, and other damage to the windshield
within the LKAS camera’s field of vision can cause the
system to operate abnormally. If this occurs, we
recommend that you replace the windshield with a
genuine Acura replacement windshield. Making even
minor repairs within the camera’s field of vision or
installing an aftermarket replacement windshield
may also cause the system to operate abnormally.
After replacing the windshield, have a dealer
recalibrate the camera. Proper calibration of the LKAS
camera is necessary for the system to operate properly.
If the Can Not Operate: Camera Too Hot message
appears:•Use the climate control system to cool down the
interior and, if necessary, the defroster mode when
windows are fogged.•Start driving the vehicle to lower the windshield
temperature, which cools down the area around
the LKAS camera.
1When the System can be Used
If the vehicle drifts toward either left or right lane line
due to the system applying torque, turn off the LKAS
and have your vehicle checked by a dealer.

uuWhen DrivinguAgile Handling Assist System
Driving
Agile Handling Assist SystemLightly brakes each of the front and rear wheels, as needed, when you steer the
wheel, and helps support the vehicle’s stability and performance during cornering.Precision All Wheel Steer SystemMonitors road conditions while you are driving. In response to current driving
conditions, the system automatically makes slight adjustment to the relative rear
wheel toe settings to help enhance vehicle control and stability.
1Agile Handling Assist System
The agile handling assist system cannot enhance
stability in all driving situations. You still need to drive
and corner at speeds appropriate for the conditions
and always leave a sufficient margin of safety.
When the VSA® system indicator comes on and stays
on while driving, the agile handling assist system
does not activate.
You may hear a sound coming from the engine
compartment while the system is activated. This is
normal.1Precision All Wheel Steer System
The Precision All Wheel Steer System cannot enhance
vehicle control and stability in all driving situations.
You still need to drive and corner at speeds
appropriate for the conditions and always leave a
sufficient margin of safety.
The toe setting of the rear wheels may get stuck in a
non-centered setting if the system malfunctions
while driving. This can cause the vehicle to pull to a
side even as you keep the steering wheel in the
center position. If this occurs, the system
automatically limits the vehicle speed to a maximum
of 50 mph (80 km/h). Reduce your speed and be
extra cautious, as handling may be difficult. Go to a
dealer immediately.
