SAFETY
SAFETY
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.

Tire Service Life
The life of your tires is dependent on many factors, including driving habits, road
conditions, vehicle loading, ination pressure, maintenance history, speed, and environmental conditions (even when the tires are not in use). In addition to regular inspections and ination pressure maintenance, it is recommended that you have annual inspections performed once the tires reach ve years old. All tires, including the spare, should be removed from service after 10 years
from the date of manufacture, regardless of their condition or state of wear.
Winter Tires
If driving on snowy or frozen roads, mount all season tires marked “M+S”, snow tires,
or tire chains; reduce speed; and maintain sufcient distance between vehicles when
driving. For winter tires, select the size and load ranges that are the same as the original tires, and mount them to all four wheels.
Tire Chains
Because your vehicle has limited tire clearance, we strongly recommend using the following chains: For 215/55R16 tires:
Cable-type: Autotrac 0154505 For 215/50R17 tires:
Cable-type: Autotrac 0154005
Install tire chains on the front tires only. Mount chains as tightly as you can, and make sure that they do not touch the brake lines or suspension.
Using the wrong chains, or not properly installing chains, can damage the brake lines and cause a crash in which you can be seriously injured or killed.
Follow all instructions in this guide regarding the selection and use of tire chains.
WARNING
Traction devices that are the wrong size or improperly installed can damage your
vehicle’s brake lines, suspension, body, and wheels. Stop driving if they are hitting any part of the vehicle.
NOTICE
Tire Labeling
The tires that came on your vehicle have a number of markings. Those you
should be aware of are described below. Here is an example of what each marking means: P205/55R16 89H
P: Vehicle type (passenger)205: tire width in millimeters55: aspect ratio (tire section height as a percentage of its width) R: tire construction code (radial)16: rim diameter in inches89: load index (code indicating maximum load tire can carry) H: speed symbol (code indicating maximum speed rating)
Tire Identification Number (TIN)
The tire identication number (TIN) is a group of numbers and letters that look like the
example below. TIN is located on the sidewall of the tire.
Glossary of Tire Terminology
Cold Tire Pressure – The tire air pressure when the vehicle has been parked for at least three hours or driven less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Load Rating – The maximum load that a tire is rated to carry for a given ination pressure. Maximum Ination Pressure – The maximum tire air pressure that the tire can hold.
Maximum Load Rating – The load rating for a tire at the maximum permissible ination pressure for that tire. Recommended Ination Pressure – The cold tire ination pressure
recommended by the manufacturer.
Treadwear Indicators (TWI) – The projections within the principal grooves designed to give a visual indication of the degrees of wear of the tread.
