2012 Acura TL Owners Manual

When you unlock the driver’s door with your remote transmitter, each remote transmitter activates the customized settings related to that remote.

160

When you unlock and open the driver’s door with the remote, the driver’s seat (except power lumbar) and outside mirrors move to the positions stored in memory. An indicator on one of the driving position memory buttons on the driver’s door also comes on.

You will also see the ‘‘DRIVER 1’’ or ‘‘DRIVER 2’’ message on the multi- information display, depending on which linked remote transmitter is used.

The driving position memory activated (Driver 1, Driver 2) is shown on the back of each transmitter. Make sure you store your desired driving position in the memory that is activated by the transmitter you normally carry.

Here are the settings activated with the remote:

Customized settings (see page

94

).

Driving position memory (see page

170

).

Audio system settings (see page

2012 TL11/01/14 18:22:20 31TK4630_170

ActiveHeadRestraints

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.

Seats

This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant’s head. It also helps protect the occupants against the likelihood of whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper spine.

After a collision, the activated restraint should return to its normal position.

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.

For a head restraint system to work properly:

Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.

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.

Make sure the driver always carries the remote/built-in key set.

Always keep the remote and the built-in key away from any magnetic material.

You should have received a key number tag with your built-in key. You will need this key number if you ever have to get a lost key replaced. Use only Acura-approved key blanks.

The battery of the remote is weak. There is strong electrical current nearby. You carry a cell phone, a laptop computer, or other electrical device near the remote. The remote is covered by metal. A vehicle is being operated with a transmitter nearby. When the remote battery is dead. When the vehicle battery is dead.

Protect the remote and the built-in key from direct sunlight, high temperature, and high humidity.

Do not drop the remote or the built-in key, and do not set heavy objects on them.
