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, suc\
h as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in unde\
rstanding
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

. NOTE: 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 acces\
s to
the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacture\
r, 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.

Honda Automobile Customer Service

Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important, and operati\
ng this vehicle
safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed
decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore\
, you must
use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them.
Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help
to keep you and your passengers safe.
Important Safety Precautions•
Always wear your seat belt.
•


Secure all children in the proper restraint system.
•


Be aware of airbag hazards.
•


Don’
t drink and drive.
•

Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
.
•

Control your speed.
•


Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you fr\
om paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead \
to a crash.
Remember

, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe
to divert some attention away from driving.

Important Handling Information
Your vehicle has higher ground clearance than a passenger vehicle designe\
d for
use only on pavement. Higher ground clearance has many advantages for of\
f-
highway driving. It allows you to travel over bumps, obstacles, and roug\
h terrain.
It also provides good visibility so you can anticipate problems earlier.
These advantages come at some cost. Because your vehicle is taller and rides
higher off the ground, it has a higher center gravity making it more sus\
ceptible
to tipping or rollover if you make abrupt turns. Utility vehicles have a\
significantly
higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. In a rollover crash, \
an unbelted
person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a sea\
t belt. As a
reminder, make sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts.
Carbon Monoxide GasThe engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorle\
ss,
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
•

The exhaust system is making 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 tailgate open, airflow can pull ex\
haust gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive wi\
th the
tailgate open, open all the windows and set the climate control system a\
s

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 climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
p

arked
vehicle with the engine running.
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon mono\
xide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage \
door is
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
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 passengers always wear your seat belts and
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat Belts
All five seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts w\
ith
emergency locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you \
move
freely while keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sud\
den stop,
the retractor locks to restrain your body. The rear seat belts also have a lockable
retractor for use with child seats.
The front seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enha\
nce
safety. The tensioners automatically tighten the front seat belts during a mod\
erate
to severe frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not seve\
re enough to
inflate the front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat BeltsFollow these guidelines for proper use:
•

All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in t\
ha
t
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduces the\

effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury \
in a
crash.
•

Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm\
or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
•


T
wo people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be\
very
seriously injured in a crash.
•

Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improv\
e
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the pr\
otective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
•


No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that do\
es not

appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as\
soon
as possible.
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\
.
WARNING
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injur\
y or
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

Passenger Airbag Off indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off. This
occurs when the front passenger’s weight sensors
detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an infant
or small child, on the seat.
Infants and small children should always ride properly restrained in a b\
ack seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
and the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front passe\
nger’s
seat, something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
•

An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
•


A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.\
•


A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’\
s seat.
•

The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or fl\
oor
behind it.
•


An object placed under the front passenger’
s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer\
as soon
as possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may go on and off repeatedly if the t\
otal weight
on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
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 and can record information about the sensors, the airbag activators, the seat belt tens\
ioners,
and driver and front passenger seat belt use when the vehicle is on.
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.
11 Safing sensor
12 A rollover sensor that detects whether the vehicle is about to roll ov\
er.
