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 trunk open, airflow can pull exhaust gas 
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the trunk 
open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as 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.
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 five 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 rear 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 reduce 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.
• 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.
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
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
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.

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
Child Safety
Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are 
either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisions are the 
number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada
recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a rear seat. 
Some states or provinces/territories have laws restricting where children may  ride. 
To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian province 
and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained when they ride 
in a vehicle.
Protecting Child Passengers
• An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the front seat.
• A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver’s ability to 
safely control the vehicle.
• Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are 
properly restrained in a rear seat.
• Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrained in an 
approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either\
the lap
belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system.
• Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them in the 
event of a collision.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt would 
likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries.
• Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be very 
seriously injured in a crash.
• Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjusters.
• Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weath\
er when
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could al\
so activate
vehicle controls, causing it to move unexpectedly.
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.
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
Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously 
injured or killed in a crash.
Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly restrained in a child 
seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt, using a 
booster seat if necessary.
WARNING
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.
