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 in ates. 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 in ate.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 in ates.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
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 seat 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.
The indicator also will come on when the front passenger‘s seat is empty; the
passenger’s front airbag will not deploy in a crash.
To ensure the passenger is detected properly, check that:• There is no child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
• There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’s
seat.
• The front seat or seat-back is not forced back against an object on the seat or
oor behind it.
• There is no object placed under or beside the front passenger’s seat.
• The occupant is sitting in an upright position and the seat back is not excessively
reclined.
• The occupant is not leaning against the door or center console.
• The occupant’s feet are placed on the oor in front of them.
• There are no objects hanging from the front passenger’s seat.
• Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back pocket.
The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and go off periodically if the total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if:• None of the above conditions exist, and the indicator comes on with an adult
riding there.
• The seat is empty and the indicator is off.
Do not allow an adult passenger to ride in the front seat when the indicator is on.
Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a message appears on the Driver Information Interface*.
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. 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
*if equipped
*
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 in ated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be replaced.
You should always use new, genuine Honda parts to replace parts after an airbag
deployment. Used, salvaged, aftermarket, or grey-market parts may not work correctly in a crash.
When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not in ate, 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 or affect the proper operation of 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.

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 Traf c 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 in ating 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 weather when
the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could also 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 manufacturer’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. It can also interfere with proper operation of the
passenger’s advanced front airbag system.
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.

SAFETY
SAFETY
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 rmly 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.
Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in either of the two outer rear seats.
A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or exible 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.
3. Open the tether anchor cover behind the head restraint.
4. Route the tether strap over the top of the head restraint, and secure the tether strap hook onto
the anchor.
5. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.
6. Make sure the child seat is rmly 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.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death if the front airbag in ates.
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 exible-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 speci ed 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 four 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.
• The child seat is not older than the expiration date printed on the seat.

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 manufacturer’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 rmly 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.
Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position. A child
seat that is installed with a seat belt and comes with a tether can use the tether for
additional security.
1. Locate the appropriate tether anchorage point and lift the cover.
2. Route the tether strap over the head restraint. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
3. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
4. Tighten the tether strap as instructed by the child seat manufacturer.

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.
