Safe Driving■ When the passenger front airbag off
indicator comes on
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the weight sensors detect
about 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an
infant or small child, on the seat.
Your vehicle is not recommended for child passengers. Never put a rear-facing child
seat in this vehicle.
If you decided to disregard our recommendations and transport a small child, they
should be properly restrained. 2 Child Safety P. 58
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the passenger’s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy and the
indicator will not come on.
■Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator1Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator
If the indicator comes on with no passenger and no objects on the passenger’s se at, or with an adult
riding there, something may be interfering with the
weight sensor, such as: • An object hanging on the seat.
• An object pressing the rear of the seat-back.
• The seat or seat-back is forced back against cargo
on the rear trays or floor behind it.
• An object placed under the passenger’s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle
checked by an authorized Acura NSX dealer as soon
as possible.
The passenger front airbag off indicator may come on and go off repeatedly if the total weight on the
seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.

Safe Driving
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 authorized Acura NSX dealer in the following situations:
■ When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the 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 passenger’s seat, seat belt tensioners, and each
seat belt that was worn during the crash. ■ Do not remove or modify a seat without 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, contac t an authorized Acura NSX dealer, or for U.S. vehicles,
Acura Client Relations 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).

We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, includi ng the airbag, tensioners,

Driving
Maximum Load Limit
The maximum load for your vehicle is 507 lbs (230 kg).
The maximum load for the carg o area is 100 lbs (45 kg).
See the Tire and Loading Information label attached to the driver’s
doorjamb.
This figure includes the total weig ht of all occupants, cargo, and
accessories, and the tongue load if you are towing a trailer. Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit -
(1)Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo
should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
(2)Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers
that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers
from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4)The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For exampl e, if the “XXX” amount equals
1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the
amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs.
(1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
