You'll find many safety
recommendations throughout this
section, and throughout this manual.
The recommendations on this page
are the ones we consider to be the
most important.
Always Wear Your Seat Belt
A seat belt is your best protection in
all types of collisions. Airbags are
designed to supplement seat belts,
not replace them. So even though
your vehicle is equipped with
airbags, make sure you and your
passengers always wear your seat
belts, and wear them properly (see
page 16).Restrain All Children
Children age 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in a back
seat, not the front seat. Infants and
small children should be restrained
in a child seat. Larger children
should use a booster seat and a lap/
shoulder belt until they can use the
belt properly without a booster seat
(see pages 39
－57).
Be Aware of Airbag Hazards
While airbags can save lives, they
can cause serious or fatal injuries to
occupants who sit too close to them,
or are not properly restrained.
Infants, young children, and short
adults are at the greatest risk. Be
sure to follow all instructions and
warnings in this manual. Don't Drink and Drive
Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even
one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and
your reaction time gets worse with
every additional drink. So don't drink
and drive, and don't let your friends
drink and drive, either.
Pay Appropriate Attention to the
Task of Driving Safely
Engaging in mobile phone
conversation or other activities that
keep you from paying close attention
to the road, other vehicles and
pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change
quickly, and only you can decide
when it is safe to divert attention
away from driving.Important Safety Precautions609/10/28 17:15:37 10 ACURA ZDX KA KC New North America Own 50 31SZN600 enu

This will reduce the risk of injuries to
both you and your unborn child that
can be caused by a crash or an
inflating front airbag.
Each time you have a checkup, ask
your doctor if it's okay for you to
drive.Additional Safety Precautions
●Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of a folded-
down back seat.
If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
●Passengers should not stand up or change seats while the vehicle is
moving.
A passenger who is not
wearing a seat belt during a crash
or emergency stop can be thrown
against the inside of the vehicle,
against other occupants, or out of
the vehicle.
●Two people should never use the
same seat belt.
If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
●Do not put any accessories on seat
belts.
Devices intended to improve
occupant comfort or reposition the
shoulder part of a seat belt can
reduce the protective capability of
the belt and increase the chance of
serious injury in a crash.
●Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front
airbag.
Carrying hard or sharp
objects on your lap, or driving with
a pipe or other sharp object in your
mouth, can result in injuries if your
front airbag inflates.
●Keep your hands and arms away
from the airbag covers.
If your
hands or arms are close to an
airbag cover, they could be injured
if the airbag inflates.

2. If it comes on and stays on at anyother time, there is a problem with
the VSA or Hill Start Assist
system. You will also see a
‘‘CHECK VSA SYSTEM ’’or
‘‘ CHECK HILL START ASSIST
SYSTEM ’’message on the multi-
information display. Take your
vehicle to a dealer to have it
checked. Without VSA, your
vehicle still has normal driving
ability, but will not have VSA
traction and stability enhancement.
For more information, see page
508.
If the VSA indicator illuminates,
hill start assist will not be working.
Without hill start assist, the vehicle
will roll downhill immediately
when you release the brake on an
incline.
VSA OFF Indicator
This indicator comes on as a
reminder that you have turned off the
vehicle stability assist (VSA) system.
It indicator normally comes on for a
few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch
ꭧto the ON (II)
position. It may also come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to
the START (III) position. For more
information, see page 508.
ꭧ : Models equipped with the
keyless access system have an
engine start/stop button instead of
an ignition switch. ON mode is the
equivalent of ON (II), and START
mode is the equivalent of START
(III). For more information, see
pages 194 and 196.
Turn Signal and
Hazard Warning
Indicators
The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If an indicator does not blink
or blinks rapidly, it usually means
one of the turn signal bulbs is burned
out (see page 555 and 558). Replace
the bulb as soon as possible, since
other drivers cannot see that you are
signaling.
When you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicators
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle flash.
Instrument Panel Indicators6809/10/28 17:15:37 10 ACURA ZDX KA KC New North America Own 50 31SZN600 enu

If you do not fasten your seat belt,
you will also see a‘‘FASTEN SEAT
BELT ’’message on the multi-
information display when you turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position.
These messages go off in several
seconds after the key is inserted into
the ignition switch.
On models with keyless access systemThese messages go off in several
seconds.
Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON mode is the equivalent of
ON (II). See page 196 for ignition
switch and power mode comparison.
With the ignition switch in the ON
(II) position, the multi-information
display changes as shown on page 81
each time you press the INFO
(▲ /▼ ) button or the SEL/RESET
button.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, your last
selection is displayed.SEL/RESET BUTTON

OdometerThe odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial
and territorial regulations to
disconnect, reset, or alter the
odometer with the intent to change
the number of miles or kilometers
indicated.Trip Meter
This meter shows the number of
miles (U.S.) or kilometers (Canada)
driven since you last reset it. There
are two trip meters: Trip A and Trip
B. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two different distances.
To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the SEL/RESET
button until the number resets to
‘‘
0.0. ’’ When you reset Trip A, average fuel
economy A, average vehicle speed A,
and elapsed time A are reset at the
same time. When you reset Trip B,
average fuel economy B, average
vehicle speed B, and elapsed time B
are reset.
In the customizing mode, you can set
Trip A information: Trip A, average
fuel economy A, average vehicle
speed A, and elapsed time A to reset
at the same time when you refuel
your vehicle (see page 87).

traffic, etc.AVG. SPEED A/BThis shows the average speed you
are traveling in miles per hour (mph)
for U.S. models or kilometers per

ELAPSED TIME A/BThis shows the time passed traveled
since you last reset it. When you turn
the ignition switch to the ON (II)
position, ELAPSED TIME A or B is

Models equipped with the keyless
access system have an engine start/
stop button instead of an ignition
switch. ON mode is the equivalent of
