California Proposition 65 Warning
Event Data Recorders
This 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 assi st in understanding 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, typically 30 seconds or le ss. The EDR in this vehicle is 
designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your  vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were 
buckled/fastened;
• How far (if at all) the driver  was depressing the accelerator 
and/or brake 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. NOTE: EDR data 
are recorded by your vehicle only  if a non-trivial crash situation 
occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving 
conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and 
crash location) are recorded. Howe ver, other parties, such as law 
enforcement, could combine the  EDR data with the type of 
personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash 
investigation.
WARNING:   This product contains or emits 
chemicals known to the state of California to cause 
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive 
harm.
To read data recorded by an ED R, 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 re ad the information if they have 
access to the vehicle or the EDR. 
The data belongs to the vehicle ow ner and may not be accessed by 
anyone else except as legally requ ired or with the permission of the 
vehicle owner.
Service Diagnostic Recorders
This vehicle is equipped with serv ice-related devices that record 
information about powertrain perform ance. The data can be used 
to verify emissions law requirem ents and/or help technicians 
diagnose and solve service problems.  It may also be combined with 
data from other sources for res earch purposes, but it remains 
confidential. Some diagnostic and maintenance information is 
uploaded to Honda upon vehicle start up.
California Perchlorate Contamination Prevention Act
The airbags, seat belt tensioners , and CR type batteries in this 
vehicle may contain perchlorate materials - special handling may 
apply. See  www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate/
As you read this manual, you will  find information that is preceded 
by a   symbol. This information is intended to help you avoid 
damage to your vehicle, othe r property, or the environment.

Safe Driving
For Safe Driving
The following pages explain your vehicle's safety features and how to use them 
properly. The safety precauti ons below are ones that we consider to be among the 
most important.
Important Safety Precautions
■Always wear your seat belt
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags are designed to 
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So  even though your vehicle is equipped 
with airbags, make sure you and your passe ngers always wear your seat belts, and 
wear them properly.
■Restrain all children
Children ages 12 and under should ride properly restrained in a back seat, not the 
front seat. Infants and small children shoul d be restrained in a child seat. Larger 
children should use a booster seat and a lap/shoulder seat belt until they can use the 
belt properly without a booster seat.
■Be aware of airbag hazards
While airbags can save lives, they can cause serious or fatal injuries to occupants 
who sit too close to them, or are not prop erly restrained. Infants, young children, 
and short adults are at the greatest risk.  Be sure to follow all instructions and 
warnings in this manual.
■Don't drink and drive
Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even one dr ink can reduce your ability to respond to 
changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. 
So don't drink and drive, and don't let  your friends drink and drive, either.
1Important Safety Precautions
Some states, provinces and territories prohibit the use 
of cell phones other than  hands-free devices by the 
driver while driving.

Safe Driving■When the passenger  front airbag off 
indicator comes on
The indicator comes on  to alert you that the 
passenger’s front airbag  has been turned off.
This occurs when the weight sensors detect 
about 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an 
infant or small child, on the seat.
Children age 12 or under should always ri de properly restrained in a back seat.
2Child Safety  P. 60
If the front passenger seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy and 
the indicator will come on.
■Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator1Passenger Front Airbag Off Indicator
To ensure the passenger is detected properly, confirm 
that:
•There is no child seat or  other object pressing 
against the rear of the seat-back.
•There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on 
the back of the front passenger’s seat.
•The front seat or seat-b ack is not forced back 
against an object on the s eat or floor behind it.
•There is no object placed under or beside the front 
passenger’s seat.
•The occupant is sitting in  an upright position and 
the seat back is not  excessively reclined.
•The occupant is not leaning against the door or 
center console.
•The occupant’s feet are plac ed on the floor in front 
of them.
•There are no objects ha nging from the front 
passenger’s seat.
•Only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back 
pocket.
The passenger front airbag  off indicator may come 
on and go off repeatedly if  the total weight on the 
seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as 
possible if:
•All of the above conditions are met, and the 
indicator comes on with an adult seated in the 
front passenger seat.
•The seat is empty and the indicator is off.
Do not allow an adult passe nger to ride in the front 
seat when the indicator is on.

Exhaust Gas Hazard
Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorless, 
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your vehicle, carbon 
monoxide gas will not get into the interior.
■Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever
• The exhaust system is m aking an unusual noise.
• The exhaust system may have been damaged.
• The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the trunk open, airflow can pull exhaust gas into 
the interior and create a hazardous condition.  If you must drive with the trunk open, 
open all the windows and set the heating system
*/climate control system* as shown 
below.
1. Select the fresh air mode.
2. Select the   mode.
3. Set the fan speed to high.
4. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the heating system
*/climate control system* in the same manner if you sit in 
your parked vehicle with the engine running.
1 Carbon Monoxide Gas
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up 
with carbon monoxide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. 
Even when the garage door is open, drive out of the 
garage immediat ely after starting the engine.
3WARNING
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and 
even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that 
expose you to carbon monoxide.
