Child Safety Safety of Infants and Small Children
Protecting Smaller Children
■
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Honda recommends that you do not carry a child, age 12 or under, as a passenger. This is because placing a forward-facing child seat in the passenger’s seat can be
hazardous, even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off. If you choose to ignore our warnings and transport a small child in this vehicle, be sure to move the passenger seat as far to the rear as possible, and follow the instructions and guidelines in the following pages.
Selecting a Forward-facing Child Seat
■
Important Consideration When Selecting a Child Seat
■
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements to ensure that it provides adequate protection:
The child seat is the correct type and size for the child.
●
The child seat is the correct type for the seating position.
●
The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or
●
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
Protecting Smaller Children
Educate yourself about the laws and regulations regarding child seat use where you are driving, and follow the child seat manufacturer's instructions. All child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the vehicle can be endangered in a crash.
WARNING
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the passenger’s seat can result in serious injury or death if the front airbag inflates. If you must place a forward-facing child seat in the passenger’s seat, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.

Installing a Child Seat
■
1. Move the passenger seat to the rearmost position.Place the child seat on the passenger seat.
2.
Route the seat belt through the child seat
3.
according to the seat maker’s instructions, and insert the latch plate into the buckle.
Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.
4. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all
the way out until it stops. This activates the lockable retractor.Let the seat belt wind up to remove the
5.
slack and then try to pull it out to make sure it is locked and does not come out.
If you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 5.
6. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt.
When doing this, place your weight
on the child seat and push it into the vehicle seat.
Installing a Child Seat
All child seats must be secured to the vehicle with the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. For your child's safety, when using a child seat installed using the vehicle's seat belt system, check that the seat is properly secured to the vehicle.

Protecting Larger Children
Protecting Larger Children
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Honda recommends that you do not carry a child age 12 or under as a passenger. This is because children who have outgrown child seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by an inflating passenger’s front airbag.
If a larger child must ride in this vehicle,
the information in the following pages provides guidelines to help you decide when a given child may ride in this vehicle, and how to properly protect the child.
Checking Seat Belt Fit
■
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in the passenger’s seat using the lap/shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back in the seat, then answer the following questions.
■Checklist
Do the child’s knees bend comfortably over
●
the edge of the seat?Does the shoulder belt cross between the
●
child’s neck and arm?Is the lap part of the seat belt as low as
●
possible, touching the child’s thighs?Will the child be able to stay seated like this
●
for the whole trip?
If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder seat belt correctly. If you answer no to any question, the child needs a booster seat.
Protecting Larger Children
WARNING
Allowing a child age 12 or under to ride in the vehicle can result in injury or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in the vehicle, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible, and use a booster seat if needed. Have the child sit up and wear the seat belt properly.

Booster Seats
■
If a lap/shoulder seat belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat in
the passenger’s seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
Protecting Larger Children - Final Checks
■
If you decide that a child can safely ride in this vehicle, be sure that:
You have read and fully understand the instructions and safety information in
●
this manual. The passenger seat is as far back as possible.
●
The child is sitting upright and well back in the seat.
●
The seat belt is properly positioned.
●
Monitoring a Child Passenger
■
We strongly recommend that you keep an eye on a child passenger. Even older, more mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten their seat belts and sit up properly.
Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat, make sure to read the instructions that came with it, and install the seat accordingly.There are high-and low-type booster seats. Choose a booster seat that allows the child to wear the seat belt correctly. Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to use a booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g. 6 years or 60 lbs/27 kg). Be sure to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to drive.

Adjusting the Seats
Adjusting the Seat PositionAdjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright,
well back in the seat and be able to adequately press the pedals without leaning forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably. The
passenger’s seat should be adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard as possible.
Move back.
Allow suficient space.
Adjusting the Seats
The National Highway Trafic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that drivers
allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and their chest. Always make seat adjustments before driving.Once a seat is adjusted correctly, rock it back and forth to make sure it is locked in position.
WARNING
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the front airbags inflate. Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining control of the vehicle.

Adjusting the Seat-Backs
■
Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable, upright position, leaving ample space between your chest and the airbag cover in the center of the steering wheel. The passenger should also adjust their seat- back to a comfortable, upright position.
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the occupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.
Adjusting the Seat-Backs
Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the seat-back and your back. Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag operation. If you cannot get far enough away from the steering wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend that you investigate whether some type of adaptive equipment may help.
WARNING
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash. Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat.
