Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver o\
r a front
passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in th\
e
outside edge of the driver’s and front passenger’s seat-backs. Both are marked
SIDE AIRBAG.
Side Curtain AirbagsSide curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers\
in outer
seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curt\
ain
airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the li\
kelihood
of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windo\
ws in
crashes, particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling
above the side windows on both sides of the
vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy
in a rollover or moderate-to-severe side impact.
If the S
rS 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’s seat.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants shoul\
d 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 c\
an 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 inflate in a moderate-to-severe an\
gled
frontal collision. In this case, the side curtain airbags will deploy sl\
ightly af

ter the
front airbags.
Side curtain airbag storage
Deployed side curtain airbag
Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags: front airbags, side\
airbags, and
side curtain airbags.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front S
rS airbags inflate 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.
S
rS (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 o\
f airbag-
related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver’s advanced front airbag system includes
a seat position sensor. Based on the seat position
and crash severity, the system determines the
optimal deployment of the driver’s airbag.
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position
sensor, the S
rS indicator will come on and the
airbag will inflate 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 floor. 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.

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.
11 Safing sensor
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.
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 various impact sensors, seat and buckle sensors, rollover sensor, airbag
activators, seat belt tensioners, and other information while the vehicl\
e is
on. 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.

Protecting Larger Children
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear sea\
t using the
lap/shoulder seat belt.
Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the followi\
ng:
•
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 6\
0 lbs). Be sure
to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you inten\
d to drive.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injur\
y or death
if the passenger’s front airbag inflates.
If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to th\
e rear as
possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt pro\
perly,
using a booster seat if needed.
