Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by an authoriz ed Acura NSX dealer in the following situations:
■When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, th e control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt te nsioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
■When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not in flate, have an authorized Acura NSX dealer inspect the
following: the weight sensors in the passenge r’s seat, seat belt tensioners, and each
seat belt that was worn during the crash.
■Do not remove or modify a seat with out consulting an authorized Acura
NSX dealer
This would likely disable or affect the prope r operation of the weight sensors in the
passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to re move or modify a seat to accommodate a
person with disabilities, contact an authoriz ed Acura NSX dealer, or for U.S. vehicles,
Acura Client Service at 1-844-682-2872 and for Canadian vehicles, Acura Client
Service at 1-888-9-ACURA-9 or 1-844-9-MYNSX-9 (NSX-specific).
1 Airbag Care
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, including the airbag, tensioners,
sensors, and control unit.
