Acura 2001 MDX Owner's Manual download pdf (Page 56)

A front seat passenger should not

use a cushion or other object as a

backrest. It may prevent the cutoff

system from working properly.

When you turn the ignition ON (II),

the indicator should light briefly and

goout(seepage ).Ifitdoesn’t

light, stays on, or comes on while

driving without a passenger in the

front seat, have the system checked.

If a small-statured adult leans

sideways, or larger adult slouches

and leans sideways into the

deployment path of the side airbag,

the system may also shut off the side

airbag.

If the side airbag indicator light

comes on, you should have the

passenger sit upright. Once the

passenger is out of the deployment

path of the side airbag, the system

will turn the airbag back on and the

light will go out.

This light alerts you that

the passenger’s side airbag

has been automatically shut off.

To reduce the risk of injury from an

inflating side airbag, your vehicle has

an automatic cutoff system for the

passenger’s side airbag.

Although Acura does not encourage

children to ride in the front, this

system is designed to shut off the

side airbag if a child leans sideways

and the child’s head is in the side

airbag deployment path.
