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.
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 of the driver and passengers in outer 
seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curt\
ain
airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood 
of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windo\
ws 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 deploys even if 
there is no passenger in the passenger’s seat.
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.

SAFETYSAFETY
1 Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags. The driver’s airbag 
is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger’s airbag is 
stored in the dashboard. Both are marked SRS AIRBAG.
2  Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for the front passenger. The 
airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seat-backs. Both are marked 
SIDE AIRBAG.
3  Two side curtain airbags, one for each side of the vehicle. The airbags are 
stored in the ceiling, above the side windows. The front and rear pillars are 
marked SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.
4 An electronic control unit that continually monitors and can record
information about the sensors,  the airbag  activators,  the seat  belt tensioners, 
and driver and front passenger seat belt use when the vehicle is on.
5  Automatic front seat belt tensioners. The driver’s and front passenger’s seat 
belts incorporate sensors that detect whether or not they are fastened.
6  A driver’s seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will 
inflate with less force.
7  Weight sensors in the front passenger’s seat. The front passenger’s airbag 
will be turned off if the weight on the seat is 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight  
of an infant or small child).
8  Impact sensors that can detect a moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
9  An indicator on the dashboard that alerts you that the front passenger’s front 
airbag has been turned off.
10  An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem 
with the airbag system or seat belt tensioners.

Airbag System Components
Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace\
any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle 
inspected by a dealer in the following situations:
When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced. 
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be 
replaced.
When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the following: the 
driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat
belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash.
Do not remove or modify a front seat without first consulting a dealer
This would likely disable the driver’s seat position sensor or the weight sensors 
in the passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to 
accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a Honda dealer. For U.S. 
vehicles, call Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009. For Canadian 
vehicles, call Honda Canada Customer relations at (888) 946-6329.

SAFETYSAFETY
Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear seat using the 
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the following:
• The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge 
of the seat.
• The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s 
neck and arm.
• The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible, 
touching the child’s thighs.
• The child can stay seated for the whole trip.
If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat 
in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the
booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations.
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).  Be sure 
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you intend to drive.
Safety Label Locations
Safety labels are in the locations shown. They warn you of potential hazards that 
can cause serious injury or death. Read these labels carefully.

Radiator cap
U.S. models only
Dashboard
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injur\
y or death
if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as 
possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly, 
using a booster seat if needed.
