SAFETY
Your vehicle is not recommended for child passengers.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that
all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. Since this vehicle does
not have a back seat, Acura recommends you do not carry as a passenger a child aged 12 or
under because:
• An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the passenger’s seat.
• A child in the passenger’s seat is more likely to interfere with the driver’s ability to safely
control the vehicle.
• Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are properly
restrained in a rear seat.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an approved
child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either the lap belt portion of the lap/
shoulder belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system.
