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 airbag s 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 vehicl e has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have an authorized Acura NSX dealer inspect the
following: the weight sensors in the passeng er’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 proper 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 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).
1Airbag Care
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, includi ng the airbag, tensioners,
sensors, and control unit.
