SAFETYSAFETY
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.

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.
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.
Passenger airbag off indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off. This 
occurs when the front passenger’s weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an infant 
or small child, on the seat.
Infants and small children should always ride 
properly restrained in a back seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy 
and the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front passenger’s 
seat, something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as: 
• An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
• A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
• A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’s seat.
• The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or floor 
behind it.
• An object placed under the front passenger’s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon 
as possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may go on and off repeatedly if the total weight 
on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
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
*
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.

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.
