DISCLOSURES
Event Data RecordersThis vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an
eDr is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in unde\
rs

tanding
how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typicall\
y
30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such d\
ata as:
•
How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
•
Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fasten\
ed;
•
How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or b\
rake
pedal; and,
•
How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circumstances \
in
which crashes and injuries occur. N
oTe: eDr data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by th\
e
eDr under
normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and
crash location) are recorded. However

, other parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine the
eDr data with the type of personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an
eDr, special equipment is required, and access to
the vehicle or the
eDr is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other
parties such as law enforcement that have the special equipment can read\
the
information if they have access to the vehicle or the
eDr.
The data belong to the vehicle owner and may not be accessed by anyone e\
lse
except as legally required or with the permission of the vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders This vehicle is equipped with service-related devices that record inform\
ation
about powertrain performance. The data can be used to verify emissions l\
aw
requirements and/or help technicians diagnose and solve service problems. It may
also be combined with data from other sources for research purposes, but\

it remains confidential.

AFETYSAFETY
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 a\
re stored in the ceiling, above the side windows. The front and rear pillar\
s are
marked SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.
4 An electronic control unit that continually monitors information about\
the sensors, the airbag activators, the seat belt tensioners, and other vehi\
cle
information. During a crash event, the unit records such information.
5 Automatic front seat belt tensioners. The driver’s and front passenger’s seat belts incorporate sensors that detect whether or not they are fastened.
6 A driver’s seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will inflate 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 65 lbs (29 kg) or less\
(the weight
of an infant or small child).
8 Impact sensors that can detect a moderate-to-severe front or side impa\
ct.
9 An indicator on the dashboard that alerts you that the front passenger\
’s front airbag has been turned off.
10 An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible pro\
blem with the airbag system or seat belt tensioners.

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 mu\
st 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 follo\
wing: 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. Fo\
r Canadian
vehicles, call Honda Canada Customer
relations at (888) 946-6329.
12 A rollover sensor that detects whether the vehicle is about to roll ov\
er and signal the control unit to deploy both side curtain airbags.
