Acura 2013 TL - Manual (Page 30)

If you ever have a moderate to
severe frontal collision, sensors will
detect the vehicle’s rapid
deceleration.

enough, the control unit will inflate
the driver’s and front passenger’s
airbags, at the time and with the
force needed.
A sophisticated electronic system
that continually monitors and
records information about the
sensors, the control unit, the
airbag activators, the seat belt
tensioners, and driver and front
passenger seat belt use when the
ignition switch is in the ON (II)
position. An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you to a possible
problem with your airbag system
components (see page
).
An indicator on the instrument
panel that alerts you that the
passenger’s side airbag has been
turned off (see page

An indicator on the dashboard that
alerts you that the passenger’s
front airbag has been turned off
(see page

Emergency backup power in case
