Safety is always an important goal of Acura engineers, so the 2007 Acura TL Type-S is equipped with dual-stage front, front side-impact, and side-curtain airbags. Stability control, ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, and a tire pressure monitoring system are also standard. According to Acura, crash scores for a frontal impact are five-stars for the driver and passenger, while side impact protection is rated four-stars for front seat occupants and five-stars for rear seat riders. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives the TL a Good rating for frontal and side impacts.
