For a head restraint system to work properly:
Seats
After a collision, the activated restraint should return to its normal position.
Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.
If the restraints do not return to their normal position, or in the event of a severe collision, have the vehicle inspected by an Acura dealer.
Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
Install each restraint in its proper location.
Only use genuine Acura replacement head restraints.
159
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats have active head restraints. If the vehicle is struck severely from the rear, the occupant properly secured with the seat belt will be pushed against the seat-back and the head restraint will automatically move forward.
This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant’s head. It also helps protect the occupants

Also, if you close the door when the ignition switch is not in the LOCK (0) position and the remote is not inside the vehicle, the keyless access alarm sounds outside the vehicle, a message appears on the multi- information display, and the beeper sounds if the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position.
When the beeper sounds after you close the driver’s door outside the vehicle, check the position of the ignition switch and the location of the remote.
If the engine is running and you remove the remote from the vehicle, it will continue to run. But once turned to the LOCK (0) position, the engine will not restart until a remote is brought back into the vehicle.

The engine does not restart if you turn the ignition switch to the LOCK (0) position when the remote is outside the vehicle. Check where the remote is. Make sure that you carry the remote or built-in key with you when you operate the ignition switch.
If you pass the remote through an open window, the system does not respond. Also, even when the remote is inside the vehicle, the beeper may sound when the location of the remote is not detected due to surrounding conditions. It is not a failure. Make sure that you carry the remote with you.
Keyless Access System
The outside beeper sounds when the ignition switch is in the ACCESSORY (I) or the ON (II) position.
When the ignition switch is in the ON (II) position, the multi- information display shows ‘‘KEYLESS REMOTE NOT DETECTED,’’ and the inside and outside beepers sound. The multi-information display message goes away when you bring the remote back inside the vehicle, and close the door or apply the parking brake.
If the engine is running and you remove the remote from the vehicle, it will continue to run. Once turned to the LOCK (0) position, the engine will not restart until a remote is brought back into the vehicle.

KeylessRemoteLowBattery
The batteries in the remote normally last about 2 years. To ensure maximum battery life, do not store the remote close to electrical devices such as computers or TVs. When the multi-information display shows ‘‘KEYLESS REMOTE LOW BATTERY,’’ replace the batteries as soon as possible (see page

).

The indicator comes on for several seconds when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position. Have your vehicle checked by your dealer if:
The keyless access system indicator comes on and stays on while you are driving.
The indicator comes on with the ignition switch in the ON (II) position.
The multi-information display shows ‘‘CHECK KEYLESS ACCESS SYSTEM.’’
In this case, use the built-in key to lock/unlock the doors and start the engine.

The keyless access system uses an electric field to identify the remote.
If you use medical equipment such as a cardiac pacemaker, ask your doctor if the radio waves used by the remote will affect it.
Valet Function The trunk and glove box cannot be opened when you turn the trunk main switch off and lock the glove box and trunk pass-through cover with the built-in key. Also, the trunk cannot be opened by using the remote.

Driver’s seat
RLmodels Both front seats are equipped with seat heaters. The passenger seat only has heaters in the seat bottom because of the side airbag cutoff system.
FRONT SEAT HEATER SWITCHES The ignition switch must be in the ON (II) position to use the heaters. Push the top of the switch, HI, to rapidly heat up the seat. After the seat reaches a comfortable temperature, select LO by pushing the bottom of the switch. This will keep the seat warm.
In the HI setting, the heater turns off when the seat gets warm, and turns back on after the seat’s temperature drops.
Use the HI setting only to heat the seats quickly, because it draws large amounts of current from the battery.
If the engine is left idling for an extended period, do not use the seat heaters, even on the LO setting. It can weaken the battery, causing hard starting.

AUTO To open the window fully, push the window switch firmly down to the second detent, then release it. The window automatically goes down all the way. To stop the window from going all the way down, pull back on the window switch briefly.
To open or close the window partially, push down or pull back on the window switch lightly to the first detent, and hold it. The window will stop when you release the switch.
All window switches also have the AUTO feature.
To close the window fully, pull back the window switch firmly to the second detent, then release it. The window automatically goes all the way up. To stop the window from going all the way up, push down on the window switch briefly.
Auto Reverse If the window runs into any obstacle while it is closing automatically, it will reverse direction, and then stop. To close the window, remove the obstacle, then use the window switch again.
Auto reverse stops sensing when the window is almost closed. You should always check that all passengers and objects are away from the window before closing it.
The indicators in the switches come on when you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position.
The power windows have a key-off delay. You can still open and close the windows for up to 10 minutes after you turn off the ignition switch. The key-off delay cancels as soon as you open either front door. You must then turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position for the power windows to operate.
