Seat Belt with Detachable Anchor
The seat belt for the rear center seat is located in the ceiling.
1.

Pull out the seat belt’
s small latch plate and
the latch plate from each holding slot in the
ceiling.
2.

Line up the triangle marks on the small
latch plate and anchor buckle. Make sure
the seat belt is not twisted. Attach the belt
to the anchor buckle.
3.


Insert the latch plate into the buckle.
Properly fasten the seat belt the same way
you fasten the lap/shoulder seat belt.
T

o unlatch the detachable anchor, insert
the latch plate into the slot on the side of
the anchor buckle.Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags: front airbags, side\
airbags, and
side curtain airbags.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collisio\
n 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.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are des\
igned to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’\
s primary
restraint system.
Advanced AirbagsYour 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 information from
this sensor and the severity of the impact, the
advanced airbag system determines the optimal
deployment of the driver’s airbag.
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position
sensor, the SRS 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.
•


Make sure the floor mat behind the front passenger’
s seat is hooked to the floor
mat anchor. An improperly placed mat can interfere with the advanced airbag
sensors.

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.

Installing a LATCH-Compatible Child Seat
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in either of the two outer re\
ar
seats. A child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rig\
id or flexible
type of connectors.
1.

Locate the lower anchors under the marks.
2.


Raise the head restraint to its highest position.
3.


Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then
attach the child seat to the lower anchors
according to the instructions that came with the
child seat. Make sure that the lower anchors
are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other
object. If necessary

, remove the cargo cover.*
4.

Route the tether strap between the head restraint
legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted. Secure
the tether strap hook onto the anchor

.
5.

T
ighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions.
6.

Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
7.


Make 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. If necessary

, reinstall the cargo cover.* Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt1.
Raise the head restraint to its highest position.
2.


Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
3.


Route 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.
4.

Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor

.
5.

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 4 – 5.
6.

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.
7.


Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
8.


Make 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.
T

o deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to
wind up all the way.

Adding Security with a Tether
Two tether anchorage points are provided behind the rear outer seating po\
sitions
and one in the ceiling for the rear center. A child seat that is installed with a seat
belt and comes with a tether can use the tether for additional security.
1.

Using an outer anchor:
If necessary, remove
the cargo cover.* Raise the head restraint to
its highest position, then route the tether strap
through the head restraint legs.

Using the center anchor: Lower the head
restraint to its lowest position. Open the anchor
cover. Route the tether strap over the head
restraint.
2.

Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor
.
Make sure the strap is not twisted.
3.

T
ighten the tether strap according to the seat
maker’s instructions. If necessary, reinstall the
cargo cover.* 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.
