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 inate 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 inates 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 inate 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 oor. 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 torso and pelvis of the driver or a front passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in the 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 heads 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.
Both are marked SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy
in a rollover, moderate-to-severe side impact, or a moderate-to-severe angled frontal collision. 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 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 inate in a severe frontal collision. In this case, the side curtain airbags will deploy slightly after the front airbags.

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, when the vehicle is on, continually monitors
information about the various impact sensors, seat and buckle sensors,
rollover sensor, airbag activators, seat belt tensioners, and other vehicle information. During a collision, the unit records such information.
5 Automatic front seat belt tensioners. In addition, the driver’s and front passenger’s seat belt buckles incorporate sensors that detect whether or not the belts are fastened.
6 A driver’s seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will
inate 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 about 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the
weight of an infant or small child) or if the seat is empty.
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.
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 inated, 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 inate, 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.
10 An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem with the
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
11 A rollover sensor that detects whether the vehicle is about to roll over and signal the control unit to deploy both side curtain airbags.

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 labels are in the locations shown. They warn you of potential hazards that
can cause serious injury or death. Read these labels carefully.

Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or death
if the passenger’s front airbag inates.
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.
