Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind the passenger seat. A child seat with a tether can
be installed, so long as the base of the child seat is secured using a seat belt.
Using an outer anchor
1. Route the tether strap through the head restraint legs.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.

Protecting Larger Children
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Acura recommends that you do not carry
a child age 12 or under as a passenger.
This is because children who have outgrown child
seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by an inflating passenger’s front airbag. If a
larger child must ride in this vehicle, the information below provides guidelines to help you
decide when a given child may ride in this vehicle, and how to properly protect the child.
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in the passenger’s seat using the lap/
shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge of the
seat.
• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s neck and
arm.
• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible, touching
the child’s thighs.
• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
