Acura 2012 TL - Manual (Page 23)

If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in a
crash.
When driving, remember to sit
upright and adjust the seat as far
back as possible while allowing full
control of the vehicle. When riding
as a front passenger, adjust the seat
as far back as possible.
Each time you have a checkup,
ask your doctor if it’s okay for
you to drive.
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 airbags inflate.
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. 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.
Objects on
the covers marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG’’
could interfere with the proper
operation of the airbags or be
propelled inside the vehicle and
hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
If your
hands or arms are close to an
airbag cover, they could be injured
if the airbags inflate.
If a side airbag or a
side curtain airbag inflates, a cup
holder or other hard object
attached on or near the door could
be propelled inside the vehicle and
hurt someone.
Improperly replacing
or covering front seat-back covers
can prevent your side airbags from
inflating during a side impact.
Additional Saf ety Precautions
Two people should never use the
same seat belt.
Do not place hard or sharp objects
between yourself and a f ront
airbag.
Do not put any accessories on seat
belts.
Do not attach or place objects on
the f ront airbag covers.
Keep your hands and arms away
f rom the airbag covers.
Do not attach hard objects on or
near a door.
Do not cover or replace f ront seat-
back covers without consulting
your dealer.
