SAFETYSAFETY
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels 
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
•  The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
• 
The exhaust system may have been damaged.
•  The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the tailgate open, airflow can pull ex\
haust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the 
tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system a\
s shown
below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
parked
vehicle with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and 
even kill you.
Avoid
 any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.
WARNING
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon monoxide gas. 
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage door is 
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to 
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is equipped 
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and 
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All seven or eight seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with 
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely 
while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the 
retractor locks to restrain your body. The second- and third-row passenger’s seat 
belts also have a lockable retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance 
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a moderate 
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to
inflate the front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat Belts Follow these guidelines for proper use:
• 
All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in that 
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the\

effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury in a 
crash.
• 
Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm or 
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
• Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• 
Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improve 
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the protective 
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
• Regularly check the condition of your seat belts. Check for frays, cuts, burns, 
and wear, and that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily.
• No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that does not 
appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly 
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as soon 
as possible.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injury or 
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be
 sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them 
properly.
WARNING

SAFETYSAFETY
Seat Belt Inspection
Regularly check the condition of your seat belts as follows: 
• Pull each belt out fully, and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear.
• Check that the latches work smoothly and the belts retract easily. If a belt does 
not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the problem. Use only mild soap 
and warm water. Do not use bleach or cleaning solvents. Make sure the belt is 
completely dry before allowing it to retract.
Any belt that is not in good condition or working properly will not provide proper 
protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.
A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of 
protection in a subsequent crash. Have your seat belts inspected by a dealer after 
any collision.
Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death if 
the seat belts do not work properly when needed.
Check
 your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon as 
possible.
WARNING
Fastening a Seat Belt
Adjust your seat to the proper position (see page 41), and then follow the below 
steps.
1. Pull the seat belt out slowly.
2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug 
on the belt to make sure the buckle is secure. 
Make sure that the belt is not twisted or caught 
on anything.
3. Position the lap part of the belt as low as possible 
across your hips, then pull up on the shoulder
part of the belt so the lap part fits snugly. This lets 
your strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash 
and reduces the chance of internal injuries.
4. If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove 
any slack, then make sure that the belt rests 
across the center of your chest and over your
shoulder. This spreads the forces of a crash over
the strongest bones in your upper body.
 To release the belt, push the red PRESS button 
then guide the belt by hand until it has retracted 
completely.
Adjusting the Shoulder Anchor
The front seats have adjustable shoulder anchors to accommodate taller and 
shorter occupants.
1. Move the anchor up and down while holding the
release button.
2. Position the anchor so that the belt rests across 
the center of your chest and over your shoulder.
Pull out
slowly.

SAFETYSAFETY
Seat Belt with Detachable Anchor
The seat belt for the second-row and third-row center seat is located in the 
ceiling.
1. Pull out the seat belt’s small latch plate and 
the latch plate from each holding slot in the
ceiling.
2. Line up the triangle marks on the small latch plate
and anchor buckle. Make sure the seat belt is not 
twisted. Attach the belt to the anchor buckle.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle. Properly 
fasten the seat belt the same way you fasten 
the lap/shoulder seat belt.
 To unlatch the detachable anchor, insert a key 
into the slot on the side of the anchor buckle.
For the second-row center seat, pivot the
anchor buckle forward before unlatching the 
anchor.
Using the seat belt with the detachable anchor unlatched increases the 
chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Before
 using the seat belt, make sure the detachable anchor is correctly 
latched.
WARNING

Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags: front airbags, side airbags, and 
side curtain airbags.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help 
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They are housed 
in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and in the dashboard for the front 
passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to 
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’s primary 
restraint system.
Advanced Airbags
Your front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag-
related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver’s advanced front airbag system includes 
a seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward, 
the airbag inflates with less force, regardless of the 
severity of the impact.
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position 
sensor, the SRS indicator will come on and the
airbag will inflate with full (normal) force, regardless 
of the driver’s seating position.
The passenger’s advanced front airbag system 
has weight sensors. Although Honda recommends
against carrying an infant or small child in front, if
the sensors detect the weight of a child (up to 65 lbs 
or 29 kg), the system will automatically turn off the
passenger’s front airbag.
For both advanced front airbags to work properly: 
• Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
• Do not put any object under the passenger’s seat.
• Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor. Improperly 
positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
• All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
• Do not place any cover over any part of the passenger side dashboard.

SAFETYSAFETY
Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a front 
passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in th\
e
outside edge of the driver’s and front passenger’s seat-backs. Both are marked 
SIDE AIRBAG.
Side Curtain Airbags
Side curtain airbags help protect the head and torso of the driver and passengers 
in outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The \
side
curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the 
likelihood of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through\
side
windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling 
above the side windows on both sides of the 
vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy 
in a rollover or moderate-to-severe side impact.
If the SRS control unit senses that your vehicle is 
about to roll over, it immediately deploys both side 
curtain airbags and activates both front seat belt 
tensioners. If the impact is on the passenger’s side, 
the passenger’s side curtain airbag will inflate even 
if there are no occupants on that side of the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should wear 
their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars, as they can interfere 
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled 
frontal collision. In this case, the side curtain airbags will deploy slightly after the 
front airbags.
Side curtain airbag storage
Deployed side curtain airbag
Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the 
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A front 
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible. 
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp object in 
your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers. Objects on the covers 
marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags or be 
propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag inflates.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers. This can prevent your side
airbags from properly deploying during a side impact. 
An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash, 
even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always
 keep the glove box closed while driving.
WARNING
Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a 
message appears on the multi-information display*.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) Indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other time besides 
vehicle start-up, or does not come on at all, have the
system checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If 
you don’t, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may 
not work properly when they are needed.
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag 
systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have
 your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS 
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.

SAFETYSAFETY
Protecting Infants
An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the 
infant reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the infant
is at least one year old. Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat for
a child up to two years old if the child’s height and weight are appropriate for a
rear-facing seat.
Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear 
seating position. Rear-facing child seats should
never be installed in a forward-facing position.
When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front
passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their seat-back 
in the desired position. If this occurs, we recommend that you install the child 
seat directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as 
needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing
child seat.
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or
death during a crash.
Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front.
WARNING
Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck can 
result in serious injury or death.
Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unused seat 
belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked.
WARNING Protecting Smaller Children
If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicated by the child 
seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured 
forward-facing child seat.
We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing
child seat in a rear seating position.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat
can be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags 
that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag 
off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in seri\
ous
injury
 or death if the front airbag inflates.
If
 you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat 
as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child.
WARNING
Selecting a Child Seat
Most child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). 
Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-type connector. 
Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child seats can 
only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow the child 
seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this
manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child’s safety.
In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible 
child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for added security. 
This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they can be 
secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addition, the 
child seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a LATCH-
compatible seat once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read the child 
seat owner’s manual for proper installation instructions.
Important considerations when selecting a child seat
Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements:
• 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.

18 || 19
SAFETYSAFETY
Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in each of the second- and third-
row seats. A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the\
rigid or
flexible type of connectors.
1. Locate the lower anchors under the marks.
2. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then
attach the child seat to the lower anchors
according to the instructions that came with the
child seat. Make sure that the lower anchors
are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other 
object.
To install a child seat in the second-row center
seat, remove the covers on each lower end of the
seat-back by pulling on the handles.
3. Raise the head restraint to its uppermost position,
then route the tether strap between the head 
restraint legs, and secure the tether strap hook
onto the anchor.
4. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions.
5. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by 
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little 
movement should be felt.
6. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child 
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor 
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and 
locked.

Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
2. Route the seat belt through the child seat 
according to the seat maker’s instructions, and
insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the 
latch plate fully until it clicks.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the 
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable 
retractor.
4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the 
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the
retractor is locked. 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 – 4.
5. 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.
6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by 
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little 
movement should be felt.
7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child 
can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor 
is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and 
locked.
 To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to 
wind up all the way.

VEHICLE CONTROLSVEHICLE CONTROLS
Wiper Operation
The windshield wipers and washers can be used when the vehicle is on.
Front Wipers
Move the wiper lever up or down to the desired
position.
Headlight-Wiper Integration*When the headlights are in the AUTO position,
they automatically turn on when the front
wipers operate several times within a certain
interval. The headlights turn off shortly after
the wipers are turned off, or if there is enough
ambient light.
Intermittent Wipers
When you move the lever to the INT position, 
the wipers operate based on the wiper delay.
Adjust the wiper delay using the adjustment ring.
Rear WiperWhen you shift to Reverse (R) and the front
wipers are activated, the rear wiper activates
even if the switch is off.

Do not use the wipers when the windshield is dry. The windshield will get 
scratched, or the rubber blades will get damaged.
In cold weather, the blades may freeze to the windshield, becoming stuck. 
Operating the wipers in this condition may damage the wipers. Use the de\
froster
to warm the windshield, or manually clear the windshield of ice and snow
before turning on the wipers.
NOTICE
