Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
1.
Place the
child seat on the vehicle seat.
2.
R
oute the seat belt through the child seat
according to the seat maker’s instructions, and
insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the
latch plate fully until it clicks.
3.
Slowl
y 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.
Mak
e sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side;
little movement should be felt.
7.
Mak
e 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.
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 cr
osses 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.
Adding Security with a Tether
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position. If you
have a child restraint system that comes with a tether but can be installed with a
seat belt, the tether may be used for additional security.
1.
Locate
the appropriate tether anchorage point
and lift the cover.
2.
Raise
the head restraint to its highest position,
then route the tether strap through the head
restraint legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted.
3.
Secur
e the tether strap hook onto the anchor.
4.
Tighten
the tether strap as instructed by the
child seat manufacturer.

Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injury or
death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as
possible, have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt properly, using
a booster seat if needed.
WARNING
Safety Label Locations
Safety labels are in the locations shown. They warn you of potential hazards that
can cause serious injury or death. Read these labels carefully.
Reporting Safety Defects
In the U.S.
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could
cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying American Honda Motor
Co., Inc.
If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds
that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy
campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems
between you, your dealer, or American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
To contact NHTSA, you may call the Vehicle Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-888-
327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to:
Administrator, NHTSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. You
can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from http://www.
safercar.gov.
In Canada
If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could
cause injury or death, you should immediately inform Honda Canada, Inc., and you
may also inform Transport Canada.
If Transport Canada receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and
if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may lead to a recall
and remedy campaign. However, Transport Canada cannot become involved in
individual problems between you, your dealer, or Honda Canada, Inc.
To contact Transport Canada’s Defect Investigations and Recalls Division, you may
call 1-800-333-0510. For more information on reporting safety defects or about
motor vehicle safety, go to http://www.tc.gc.ca/roadsafety.
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.

VEHICLE CONTROLS
Keyless Access System
When you carry the remote transmitter (for example, in a pocket or purse) and it
is outside the vehicle and within range (about 32 inches or 80 cm), you can lock or
unlock the doors and trunk without handling the transmitter.
Unlocking/Locking the Doors
To unlock: Grab either front door (or rear door*)
handle when the vehicle is off.
The driver’s seat slides rearward when the driver’s
door is opened to allow easy entry. The seat slides
forward to the last driving position when the
vehicle is turned on (see page 37).
To lock: Press the door lock button on either front
door (or rear door*) handle when the vehicle is off.
If the remote transmitter is inside the vehicle, the
doors will not lock.
Opening the Trunk
Press the trunk release button under the trunk
handle to unlock and open the trunk. The vehicle
can be on or off.

Door Operation from Inside the Vehicle
Use these methods to lock or unlock the doors.
Using the Lock Tab
To unlock: When you unlock either front door
using the lock tab, the specific door (driver’s or
passenger’s) unlocks.
To lock: When you lock the door using the lock tab
on the driver’s door, all the other doors and trunk
lock at the same time. When you lock the door
using the lock tab on the front passenger’s door,
only that door locks.
Using the Master Door Lock Switch
To unlock: Press the unlock side of the switch to
unlock all doors and the trunk.
To lock: Press the lock side of the switch to lock
all doors and the trunk.
Using the Front Door Inner Handle
Pull the front door inner handle. The door unlocks
and opens in one motion. Unlocking and opening
the driver’s door from the inner handle unlocks all
other doors.
Do not pull a front door inner handle while the
vehicle is moving.
Childproof Door Locks The childproof door locks prevent the rear doors
from being opened from the inside regardless of the
position of the lock tab.
Slide the lever in the rear door to the lock position,
and close the door.
Open the door using the outer door handle.
