Important Safety Precautions

Main Menu

Table of Contents

▼

You'll find many safety recommendations throughout this

section, and throughout this manual.

The recommendations on this page

are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Always Wear Your Seat Belt

A seat belt is your best protection in

all types of collisions. Airbags supplement seat belts, but airbags are designed to inflate only in a moderate to severe frontal collision.

So even though your car is equipped with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your

seat belts, and wear them properly.

(See page 15.)

Restrain All Children

Children are safest when they are

properly restrained in the back seat,

not the front seat. A child who is too

small for a seat belt must be properly

restrained in a child safety seat. (See page 21.)

Driver and Passenger Safety

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 properly restrained. Infants, young children, and short adults are at the greatest risk. Be

sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual. (See page

7.)

Don't Drink and Drive

Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even one drink 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.

Control Your Speed

Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher the speed the greater the risk, but serious accidents can also occur at lower speeds. Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum speed posted.

Keep Your Car in Safe Condition

Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous. To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition frequently, and perform all regularly scheduled maintenance. (See page 162 .)

Your Car's Safety Features

Your car is equipped with many features that work together to protect you and your passengers

during a crash.

Some safety features do not require any action on your part. These include a strong steel framework that forms a safety cage around the passenger compartment; front and rear crush zones that are designed to crumple and absorb energy during a crash; and a collapsible steering column.

These safety features are designed to reduce the severity of injuries in a crash. However, you and your passengers can't take full advantage of these safety features unless you remain sitting in a proper position and always wear your seat belts properly. In fact, some safety features can contribute to injuries if they are not used properly.

Seat Belts

For your safety, and the safety of your passengers, your car is equipped with seat belts in all seating positions.

Your seat belt system also

includes a light on the instrument panel to remind you and your passengers to fasten your seat belts.

Why Wear Seat Belts

Seat belts are the single most effective safety device for adults and

larger children. (Infants and smaller

children must be properly restrained in child seats.)

Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash, even though your car has airbags.

Driver and Passenger Safety

In addition, most states and all Canadian provinces require you to

wear seat belts.

Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash, even if you have airbags.

Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them properly.

When properly worn, seat belts:

Keep you connected to the vehicle so you can take advantage of the

car's built-in safety features. Help protect you in almost every

type of crash, including side and rear impacts and rollovers. (Your airbag can only be helpful in a moderate to severe frontal

collision.) Help keep you from being thrown

against the inside of the vehicle and against other occupants.

Keep you from being thrown out of the vehicle.

Help keep you in a good position should the airbags ever deploy. A

good position reduces the risk of

injury from an inflating airbag, and allows you to get the best advantage from the airbag.

Of course, seat belts cannot completely protect you in every crash. But in most cases, seat belts can reduce your risk of serious injury.

What you should do: Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly.

Airbags

Your car has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with frontal airbags to help protect the driver and a front seat passenger.

SRS

This system also includes

an indicator light on the instrument panel to alert you to a possible problem with the system.

The most important things you need to know about your airbags are:

Airbags do not replace seat belts.

The seat belts are the occupants' primary protection in all types of collisions. The airbags supplement the seat belts by providing extra protection for the head and chest of each front seat occupant in a moderate to severe frontal collision.

Airbags offernoprotection in side

impacts, rear impacts, rollovers, or minor collisions. Airbags are

designed to deploy only during a

moderate to severe frontal

collision.

Airbags can pose serious hazards.

To do their job, airbags must inflate with tremendous force and speed. So while airbags save lives, they can cause serious injuries to adults and larger children who are

not wearing seat belts, are not wearing them properly, are sitting too close to the airbag, or are not sitting in a proper position. Infants and small children are at an even greater risk of injury or death.

What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back as possible from the steering wheel or

dashboard.

Seats & Seat-Backs

Your car's seats are designed to keep you in a comfortable, upright position so you can take full

advantage of the protection offered

by seat belts and the energy

absorbing materials in the seats.

How you adjust your seats and seatbacks can also affect your safety. For example, sitting too close to the steering wheel or dashboard increases the risk of you or your passenger being injured by striking the inside of the car, or by an inflating airbag.

Reclining a seat-back too far reduces the seat belt's effectiveness and increases the chance that the seat's

occupant will slide under the seat belt in a crash and be seriously injured.

Driver and Passenger Safety

What you should do: Move the front seats as far back as possible, and keep adjustable seat-backs in an upright position whenever the car is moving.

Head Restraints

Head restraints can help protect you from whiplash and other injuries. For maximum protection, the back of

your head should rest against the center of the head restraint.

Door Locks

Keeping your doors locked reduces the chance of being thrown out of the car during a crash. It also helps prevent occupants from accidentally opening a door and falling out, and outsiders from unexpectedly opening your doors.

Pre-Drive Safety Checklist

To make sure you and your

passengers get the maximum protection from your car's safety features, check the following each

time before you drive away:

All adults, and children who have

outgrown child safety seats, are wearing their seat belts and wearing them properly (see page

15).

Any infant or small child is

properly restrained in a child seat

in the back seat (see page 21).

Front seat occupants are sitting upright and as far back as possible from the steering wheel and

dashboard (see page 12 ).

Seat-backs are upright (see page

13).

Head restraints are properly

adjusted (see page 14).

Both doors are closed and locked

(see page 12).

All cargo is properly stored or

secured (see page 132 ).

The rest of this section gives more

detailed information about how you can maximize your safety.

Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can occur in severe crashes, even when seat belts are properly worn and the airbags deploy-

Introduction

The following pages provide

instructions on how to properly protect the driver and other adult occupants.

These instructions also apply to

children who have outgrown child seats and are large enough to wear

lap/shoulder belts. (See page 37 for

important additional guidelines on

how to properly protect larger

children.)

1. Close and Lock the Doors

After everyone has entered the car, be sure the doors are closed and locked.

Your car has a door monitor light on the instrument panel to indicate when a specific door is not tightly closed.

For safety, locking the doors reduces the chance that a passenger,

Driver and Passenger Safety

especially a child, will open a door

while the car is moving and

accidentally fall out. It also reduces

the chance of someone being thrown

out of the car during a crash.

For security, locked doors can prevent an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door when you come to a stop. See page 70 for how to lock the

doors.

2.Adjust the Front Seats

Any driver who sits too close to the steering wheel is at risk of being seriously injured or killed by striking the steering wheel, or from being struck by an inflating airbag during a crash.

To reduce the chance of injury, wear

your seat belt properly, sit upright with your back against the seat, and move the seat as far back as possible from the steering wheel while still maintaining full control of the car.

Also make sure your front seat

passenger moves the seat as far to the rear as possible.

Page 14

Protecting Adults

▼

Sitting too close to an airbag can result in serious injury or death if the airbags inflate.

Always sit as far back from the airbags as possible.

Most shorter drivers can get far enough away from the steering wheel and still reach the pedals. However, if you are concerned about sitting too close, we recommend that you investigate whether some type of adaptive equipment may help.

Once your seat is adjusted correctly, rock it back and forth to make sure the seat is locked in position.

See page 76 for how to adjust the front seats.

3. Adjust the Seat-Backs

Adjust the driver's seat-back to a comfortable, upright position, leaving ample space between your chest and the airbag cover in the center of the steering wheel. If you sit too close to the steering wheel, you could be injured if the airbag inflates.

A front passenger should also adjust the seat-back to an upright position, but as far from the dashboard as

possible. A passenger who sits too close to the dashboard could be injured if the airbag inflates.

Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the occupant's chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.

Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash.

Adjust the seat-back to an upright position and sit well back in the seat.

See page 77 for how to adjust seatbacks.

4.Adjust the Head Restraints

Before driving, make sure everyone with an adjustable head restraint has properly positioned the head

restraint. The restraint should be positioned so the back of the occupant's head rests against the center of the restraint. A taller person should adjust the restraint as

high as possible.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and you can be seriously injured in a crash.

Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.

Properly adjusted head restraints will help protect occupants from whiplash and other crash injuries.

See page 77 for how to adjust the head restraints.

5. Fasten and Position the Seat Belts

Using a Lap/Shoulder Belt

Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the belt is securely latched. Also check that the belt is not twisted, because a twisted belt can cause serious injuries in a crash.

Position the lap part of the belt as low as possible across your hips,

then pull up on the shoulder part of the belt so the lap part fits snugly. This lets your strong pelvic bones

take the force of a crash and reduces

the chance of internal injuries.

If necessary, pull up on the belt again to remove any slack from the shoulder part, then check that the belt rests across the center of your chest and over your shoulder. This spreads the forces of a crash over the strongest bones in your upper body.

Improperly positioning the seat belts can cause serious injury or death in a crash.

Make sure all seat belts are properly positioned before driving.

Never place the shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt under your arm or

behind your back. This could cause

very serious injuries in a crash.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Using the Lap Belt

Insert the latch plate into the buckle marked CENTER.

If the belt is too short, hold the latch plate at a right angle and pull on the plate to extend the belt. Then insert the latch plate into the buckle, and tug on the belt to make sure the belt is securely latched.

Position the belt as low as possible across your hips. This lets your strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash and reduces the chance of internal injuries.

Pull on the loose end of the belt for a snug but comfortable fit.

If a Seat Belt Doesn't Work Properly

If a seat belt does not seem to work as it should, it may not protect the occupant in a crash. No one should

sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt. Anyone using a seat belt that is

not working properly can be seriously injured or killed. Have your Honda dealer check the belt as soon as possible.

See page 42 for additional information about your seat belt system and how to take care of your belts.

6.Adjust the Steering Wheel

Adjust the steering wheel, if needed,

so that the wheel points toward your chest, not toward your face.

Pointing the steering wheel toward your chest provides optimal protection from the airbag.

See page 65 for how to adjust the steering wheel.

Driver and Passenger Safety

7. Maintain a Proper Sitting Position

After all occupants have adjusted their seats and put on seat belts, it is very important that they continue to

sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet on the floor, until the car is parked and the engine is off.

Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased.

In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or fatally injured by striking interior parts of the car, or

by being struck by an inflating airbag.

Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a crash.

Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.

Remember, to get the best protection from your car's airbags and other safety features, you must sit properly and wear your seat belt properly.

Advice for Pregnant Women

Because protecting the mother is the

best way to protect her unborn child,

a pregnant woman should always

wear a seat belt whenever she drives

or rides in a vehicle.

We recommend that pregnant women use a lap/shoulder belt whenever possible. Remember to keep the lap portion of the belt as low as possible across your hips.

Pregnant women should also sit upright and as far back as possible

from the steering wheel or

dashboard. This will reduce the risk of injuries to both the mother and her unborn child that can be caused by a crash or an inflating airbag.

Each time you have a check-up, ask your doctor if it's okay for you to drive.

Additional Safety Precautions

Two 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 seat belts. Devices intended to improve

occupant comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can severely compromise the protective capability of the seat belt and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.

Do not place hard or sharp objects

between yourself and an airbag.

Carrying hard or sharp objects on

your lap, or driving with a pipe or

other sharp object in your mouth, can result in injuries if your airbags inflate.

Do not attach or place objects on

the airbag covers. Any object

attached to or placed on the covers marked "SRS AIRBAG," in the center of the steering wheel and on top of the dashboard, could interfere with the proper operation of the airbags. Or, if the airbags inflate, the objects could be propelled inside the car and hurt someone.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Keep your hands and arms away

from the airbag covers. If your

hands or arms are close to the airbag covers in the center of the steering wheel and on top of the dashboard, they could be injured if the airbags inflate.

them. However, despite their best intentions, many parents and other adults may not know how to properly

protect young passengers. So if you have children, or if you ever

need to drive with a grandchild or other children in your car, be sure to read this section.

Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously injured or killed in a crash.

Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly

restrained in a child seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt.

Protecting Children

All Children Must Be Restrained

Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle accidents are the number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under.

To reduce the number of child

deaths and injuries, every state and

Canadian province requires that infants and children be restrained whenever they ride in a vehicle.

Any child who is too small to wear a

seat belt should be properly restrained in a child seat.

Children Should Sit in the Back Seat

According to accident statistics, children of all ages and sizes are safer when they are restrained in the back seat, not the front seat. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in the back seat.

In the back seat, children are less likely to be injured by striking hard interior parts during a collision or hard braking. Also, children cannot be injured by an inflating airbag when they ride in the back.

Driver and Passenger Safety

The Passenger's Airbag Poses

Serious Risks to Children

Airbags have been designed to help

protect adults in a moderate to severe frontal collision. To do this, the passenger's airbag is quite large, and it inflates with tremendous speed.

Small Children

Placing a forward-facing child seat in

the front seat of a vehicle equipped

with a passenger's airbag can be

hazardous. If the vehicle seat is too

far forward, or the child's head is

thrown forward during a collision, an

inflating airbag can strike the child with enough force to kill or very

seriously injure a small child.

Larger Children

Children who have outgrown child seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by an inflating passenger's airbag. Whenever possible, larger

children should sit in the back seat, properly restrained with a seat belt.

(See page 37 for important information about protecting larger children.)

If You Must Drive with Several

Children

Your car has three seating positions in the back seat where children can be properly restrained.

If you ever have to carry more than three children in your car:

Place the largest child in the front seat, provided the child is large enough to wear a seat belt properly (see page 37 ).

Move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible (see page 12 ).

Have the child sit upright and well

back in the seat (see page 18). Make sure the seat belt is properly

positioned and secured (see page

15).

Driver and Passenger Safety

If a Child Requires Close

Attention

Many parents say they prefer to put

an infant or small child in the front passenger seat so they can watch the child, or because the child requires attention.

Placing a child in the front seat exposes the child to hazards from the airbag, and paying close attention to a child distracts the driver from the important tasks of driving, placing both of you at risk.

If a child requires physical attention or frequent visual contact, we strongly recommend that another adult ride with the child in the back seat. The back seat is far safer for a child than the front.

Additional Safety Precaution

Do not leave children alone in your vehicle. Leaving children without

adult supervision is illegal in most

states and Canadian provinces, and can be very hazardous. For example, infants and small children left in a vehicle on a hot day can die from heatstroke. And children left alone with the key in the ignition can accidentally set the vehicle in motion, possibly injuring themselves or others.

Child Seats

The following pages give general guidelines for selecting and installing child seats for infants and small children.

Selecting a Child Seat

To provide proper protection, a child

seat should meet three

requirements:

1. The child seat should meet safety

standards. The child seat should

meet Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213)

or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (CMVSS 213). Look for the manufacturer's statement of compliance on the box and seat.

2. The child seat should be of the proper type and size to fit the child.

Infants: Children up to about one

year old should be restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat. Only a rear-facing seat provides the proper support to protect an infant's head, neck, and back. See page

29 for additional information on

Protecting Children

Small Children: A child who is too large for a rear-facing child seat, and who can sit up without support, should be restrained in a forward-

facing child seat. See page 33 for

additional information on protecting small children.

3. The child seat should fit the vehicle seating position (or

positions) where it will be used.

Due to variations in the design of child seats, vehicle seats, and seat belts, all child seats will not fit all vehicle seating positions.

However, Honda is confident that one or more child seat models can fit and be properly installed in all recommended seating positions in your car.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Before purchasing a child seat, we recommend that parents test the child seat in the specific vehicle

seating position (or positions) where they intend to use the seat. If a previously purchased child seat does not fit, you may need to buy a

different one that will fit.

Placing a Child Seat

This page briefly summarizes

Honda's recommendations on where to place rear-facing and forwardfacing child seats in your car.

Airbags Pose Serious

Risks to Children

The passenger's airbag inflates

with enough force to kill or seriously injure an infant in a rear-facing child seat.

A small child in a forward-facing

child seat is also at risk. If the vehicle seat is too far forward, or the child's head is thrown forward during a collision, an inflating airbag can kill or seriously injure the child.

If a small child must ride in the front, follow the instructions provided in this section.

Front Passenger's Seat Infants: Never in the front seat, due

to the passenger's airbag hazard.

Small children: Not recommended,

due to the passenger's airbag hazard. If a small child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat to the rear-most position and secure a front-facing child seat with the

seat belt (see page 34 ).

Back Seats

Infants: Recommended positions.

Secure a rear-facing child seat with the seat belt (see page 30).

Small children: Recommended

positions. Secure a front-facing child seat with the seat belt (see page 34).

Installing a Child Seat

After selecting a proper child seat, and a good position to install the seat, there are three main steps in installing the seat:

1. Secure the child seat to the car

with a seat belt. All child seats

must be secured to the car with the lap belt or the lap part of a lap/ shoulder belt. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the car can be endangered in a crash. See pages 28 and 32 for instructions on how to secure child seats in this car.

2. Make sure the child seat is firmly

secured. After installing a child

seat, push and pull the seat forward and from side to side to verify that it is secure.

Driver and Passenger Safety

To provide security during normal

driving maneuvers as well as during a collision, we recommend that parents secure a child seat as firmly as possible.

However, a child seat does not need to be "rock solid." In some vehicles or seating positions, it may be difficult to install a child seat so that it does not move at all. Some side-toside or back-and-forth movement can be expected and should not reduce the child seat's effectiveness.

If the child seat is not secure, try installing it in a different seating position, or use a different style of child seat that can be firmly secured in the desired seating position.

3. Secure the child in the child seat.

Make sure the child is properly strapped in the child seat according to the child seat maker's instructions. A child who is not

properly secured in a child seat

can be thrown out of the seat in a crash and seriously injured.

Storing a Child Seat

When you are not using a child seat, either remove it and store it in a safe place, or make sure it is properly

secured. An unsecured child seat can be thrown around the car during a crash or sudden stop and injure

someone.

Protecting Infants

Child Seat Type

Only a rear-facing child seat provides

proper support for a baby's head,

neck, and back. Infants up to about one year of age must be restrained in a rear-facing child seat.

Two types of seats may be used: a

seat designed exclusively for infants, or a convertible seat used in the rear-

facing, reclining mode.

Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death if the airbags inflate.

Always place a rear-facing child seat in the back seat, not the front.

We recommend that an infant be restrained in a rear-facing child seat until the infant reaches the seat maker's weight or height limit and is able to sit up without support.

Rear-Facing Child Seat Placement

In this car, a rear-facing child seat can be placed in any seating position in the back seat, but not in the front seat.

Never put a rear-facing child seat in

the front seat. If the passenger's

airbag inflates, it can hit the back of the child seat with enough force to kill or seriously injure an infant. If an infant must be closely watched, we recommend that another adult sit in the back seat with the baby.

Do not put a rear-facing child seat in a forward-facing position. If placed

facing forward, an infant could be

very seriously injured during a

frontal collision.

Installing a Rear-Facing Child Seat

with a Lap/Shoulder Belt

The lap/shoulder belts in the outer

back seats have a locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat.

The following pages provide

instructions on how to secure a rearfacing child seat with this type of seat belt.

Driver and Passenger Safety

See page 32 for how to secure a rear-

facing child seat in the center back

seat with the lap belt. For tips on installing a rear-facing child seat with a seat belt, see page

32.

1. With the child seat in the desired back seating position, route the belt through the child seat according to the seat maker's instructions, then insert the latch plate into the buckle.

2. To activate the lockable retractor, slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops, then let the belt feed back into the retractor (you might hear a clicking noise as the belt retracts).

3. After the belt has retracted, tug on it. If the belt is locked, you will not be able to pull it out. If you can pull the belt out, it is not locked and

you will need to repeat these steps.

4. After confirming that the belt is locked, grab the shoulder part of the belt near the buckle and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt. Remember, if the lap part of the belt is not tight, the child seat will not be secure. To remove slack, it may help to put weight on the child seat, or push on the back of the seat, while pulling up on the belt.

5. Push and pull the child seat forward and from side to side to verify that it is secure enough to stay upright during normal driving maneuvers. If the child seat is not secure, unlatch the belt, allow it to retract fully, then repeat these steps.

To deactivate the locking mechanism and remove a child seat, unlatch the buckle, unroute the seat belt, and let the belt fully retract.

Installing a Rear-Facing Child Seat

with the Lap Belt

To install a rear-facing child seat in

the center back seat with the lap belt, follow instruction number 1 on page

30 for routing and latching the seat

belt. Then pull hard on the loose end

of the belt to remove any slack (it

may help to put weight on the child

seat while pulling on the belt). Finally, follow instruction number 5 on page 31 to verify that the child seat is secure.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Rear-Facing Child Seat Installation

Tips

For proper protection, an infant must

ride in a reclined, or semi-reclined

position. To determine the proper reclining angle, check with the baby's doctor or follow the seat maker's recommendations.

To achieve the desired reclining

angle, it may help to put a rolled up

towel under the toe of the child seat,

as shown.

When properly installed, a rearfacing child seat may prevent the

driver or a front-seat passenger from moving the seat as far back as recommended (see page 12 ). Or it may prevent them from locking the

seat-back in the desired upright position (see page 13 ).

In either case, we recommend that you place the child seat directly behind the front passenger seat, move the front seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or you may wish to get a smaller child

seat that allows you to safely carry a front passenger.

Additional Precautions for Infants

Never hold an infant on your lap.

If you are not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could be thrown forward into the dashboard and crush the infant.

If you are wearing a seat belt, the infant can be torn from your arms. For example, if your car crashes into a parked vehicle at 30 mph

(48 km/h), a 20-lb (9 kg) infant will become a 600-lb (275 kg) force, and you will not be able to hold on.

Never put a seat belt over yourself and an infant. During a crash, the

belt could press deep into the infant and cause very serious injuries.

Protecting Small Children

Child Seat Type

A child who can sit up without

support, and who fits within the child seat maker's weight and height limits, should be restrained in a forward-facing, upright child seat.

Of the different seats available, we recommend those that have a fivepoint harness system as shown.

We also recommend that a small

child stay in the child seat as long as possible, until the child reaches the weight or height limit for the seat.

Child Seat Placement

In this car, the best place to install a forward-facing child seat is in one of the seating positions in the back seat.

Placing a forward-facing child seat in

the front seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger airbag can be

hazardous. If the car seat is too far

forward, or the child's head is thrown forward during a collision, an inflating passenger's airbag can

strike the child with enough force to

cause very serious or fatal injuries. If

a small child must be closely watched, we recommend that

another adult sit in the back seat with the child.

If you must place a forwardfacing child seat in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as

possible and properly restrain the child.

Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/ Shoulder Belt

The lap/shoulder belts in the outer back and front passenger seating positions have a locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat.

The following pages provide

instructions on how to secure a forward-facing child seat with this type of seat belt.

If it is necessary to put a forwardfacing child seat in the front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, be sure the child seat is firmly secured to the car, and the child is properly strapped in the seat.

Driver and Passenger Safety

See page 36 for how to secure a forward-facing child seat in the center back seat with the lap belt.

Never hold a small child on your lap. If you are not wearing a seat

belt in a crash, you could be thrown forward into the

dashboard and crush the child.

If you are wearing a seat belt, the child can be torn from your arms during a crash. For example, if your car crashes into a parked vehicle at 30 mph (48 km/h), a 30-lb (14 kg) child will become a 900-lb (410 kg) force, and you will not be able to hold on.

Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the

belt could press deep into the child and cause very serious injuries.

Protecting Larger Children

When a child reaches the recommended weight or height limit for a forward-facing child seat, the child should sit in one of the outer back seats and wear a lap/shoulder belt. The lap/shoulder belt provides better protection than the lap belt.

If a child is too short for the shoulder part of the belt to properly fit, we recommend that the child use a booster seat until they are tall enough to use the seat belt without a booster.

The following pages give instructions on how to check proper

seat belt fit, what kind of booster

seat to use if one is needed, and important precautions for children who must sit in the front seat.

Allowing a larger child to sit

improperly in the front seat can result in injury or death if the

airbags inflate.

If a larger child must sit in front, make sure the child moves the

seat as far back as possible

and wears the seat belt properly.

Checking Seat Belt Fit

To determine if a lap/shoulder belt properly fits a child, have the child put on the seat belt. Follow the instructions on page 15 . Then check how the belt fits.

Using a Booster Seat

If a child needs a booster seat, we recommend choosing a style that allows the child to use the lap/ shoulder belt directly, without a shield, as shown.

Whichever style you select, follow the booster seat maker's instructions.

A child may continue using a booster seat until the tops of the ears are even with the top of the seat-back. A child of this height should be tall enough to use the lap/shoulder belt without a booster.

When Can a Larger Child Sit in Front

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport

Canada recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat.

The back seat is the safest place for

a child of any age or size. In addition, the passenger's airbag

poses serious risks to children. If the seat is too far forward, or the child's head is thrown forward during a collision, or the child is unrestrained or out of position, an inflating airbag can kill or seriously injure the child.

Of course, children vary widely. And while age may be one indicator of when a child can safely ride in the front, there are other important factors you should consider.

Physical Size

Physically, a child must be large enough for the lap/shoulder belt to properly fit over the hips, chest, and shoulder (see pages 15 and 21). If the seat belt does not fit properly, the child should not sit in the front.

Maturity

To safely ride in front, a child must

be able to follow the rules, including sitting properly and wearing the seat belt properly throughout a ride.

Driver and Passenger Safety

If you decide that a child can safely ride up front, be sure to:

Carefully read the owner's manual and make sure you understand all seat belt instructions and all safety information.

Move the vehicle seat to the rearmost position.

Have the child sit up straight, back against the seat, and feet on or near the floor.

Check that the child's seat belt is properly positioned and secured.

Supervise the child. Even mature children sometimes need to be reminded to fasten the seat belts or sit properly.

Using Child Seats with Tethers

Your car has three tether anchorage points on the rear shelf for securing a tether-style child seat to the car.

Since a tether can provide additional security, we recommend using a tether whenever one is required or available.

Seat Belt System Components

Your seat belt system includes lap/

shoulder belts in the front seats and the outer back seats, and a lap belt in the center back seat.

The seat belt system also

includes a light on the instrument panel to remind you and your passengers to fasten your belts. If the driver's seat belt is not fastened before the ignition is turned ON (II), the light will come on and a beeper will also sound. The beeper

will stop after a few seconds, but the

light will stay on until the driver's seat belt is fastened.

Lap/Shoulder Belt

This seat belt has a single belt that goes over your shoulder, across your chest and across your hips.

Driver and Passenger Safety

To fasten the belt, insert the latch

plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is latched.

To unlock the belt, push the red

PRESS button on the buckle. Guide the belt across your body to the door pillar. After exiting the car, be sure the belt is out of the way and

will not get closed in the door.

All lap/shoulder belts have an

emergency locking retractor.

In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely in your seat while it keeps some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor automatically locks the belt to help restrain your body.

All the lap/shoulder belts except the driver's have an additional locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat. (See pages

30 and 32 for instructions on how to

secure child seats with this type of seat belt.)

If the shoulder part of the belt is pulled all the way out, the locking mechanism will activate. The belt will retract, but it will not allow the passenger to move freely.

Seat Belt Maintenance

For safety, you should check the condition of your seat belts regularly.

Pull each belt out fully and look for frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check that the latches work smoothly and that the lap/shoulder belts retract easily. Any belt not in good condition or not working properly will not provide good protection and should be replaced as soon as possible.

U.S. Models

Honda provides a lifetime warranty

on seat belts. Honda will repair or replace any seat belt component that fails to function properly during

normal use. Please see your Honda

Warranty Information booklet for

details.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Not checking or maintaining seat belts can result in serious injury or death if the seat belts do not work properly when needed.

Check your seat belts regularly and have any problem corrected as soon as possible.

If a seat belt is worn during a crash, you should have your dealer inspect the belt, and replace it if necessary. A belt that has been worn during a crash may not provide the same level of protection in a subsequent crash. The dealer should also inspect the anchors for damage and replace them if needed. For information on how to clean your seat belts, see page 216 .

SRS Components

Your Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) includes:

Two 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."

Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe frontal collision.

A sophisticated electronic system that continually monitors the sensors, control unit, the airbag activators, and all related wiring when the ignition is ON (II).

An indicator light on the

instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem with the system (see page 47 ).

Emergency backup power in case

your car's electrical system is

disconnected in a crash.

How Your Airbags Work

If you ever have a moderate to severe frontal collision, the sensors will detect rapid deceleration and signal the control unit to instantly inflate the airbags.

During a crash, your seat belt helps restrain your lower body and torso. Your airbag provides a cushion to help restrain and protect your head and chest.

CONTINUED

Driver and Passenger Safety

Page 47

Additional Information About Your SRS

Main Menu

Table of Contents

▲

▼

Since both airbags use the same sensors, both airbags normally inflate at the same time. However, it is possible for only one airbag to inflate.

This can occur when the severity of

a collision is at the margin, or threshold, that determines whether or not the airbags will deploy. In such cases, the seat belt will provide sufficient protection, and the supplemental protection offered by the airbag would be minimal.

Driver and Passenger Safety

After inflating, the airbags

immediately deflate, so they won't interfere with the driver's visibility, or the ability to steer or operate other controls.

The total time for inflation and

deflation is approximately one-tenth of a second, so fast that most

occupants are not aware that the airbags deployed until they see them lying in their laps.

After a crash, you may see what

looks like smoke. This is actually powder from the airbag's surface.

Although the powder is not harmful,

people with respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort. If this occurs, get out of the car as soon as it is safe to do so.

your airbags work, see the booklet

titled SRS: What You Need to Know About Airbags that came with your owner's manual.

How the SRS Indicator Light Works

SRS

The purpose of the SRS light is to alert you to a

potential problem with your

Supplemental Restraint System.

When you turn the ignition ON (II), this indicator will light up briefly

then go out. This tells you that the system is working properly.

However, if the light comes on at any other time, you should have the system checked by your dealer. For example:

If the SRS indicator light does not come on after you turn the ignition

ON (II).

If the light stays on after the

engine starts.

If the light comes on or flashes on

and off while you drive.

If you see any of these indications, your airbags may not deploy when you need them. See your Honda dealer as soon as possible.

Ignoring the SRS indicator light can result in serious injury or death if the airbags do not inflate when needed.

Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if

the SRS light alerts you to a

potential problem.

SRS Service

Your Supplemental Restraint System is virtually maintenance-free, and there are no parts you can safely service. However, you must have your car serviced if:

Your airbags ever inflate. The

airbags and the control unit must be replaced. Do not try to remove or replace the airbags yourself.

This must be done by a Honda

dealer or a knowledgeable body shop.

The SRS indicator light alerts you to a problem. Take your car to an

authorized Honda dealer as soon as possible. If you ignore this indication, the airbags might not inflate when you need them.

Additional Safety Precautions

Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together, airbags and seat belts provide the best protection in a moderate to severe frontal collision.

Do not tamper with SRS components or wiring for any reason. Tampering could cause the airbags to deploy, possibly causing very serious injury.

See page 131 for further information and precautions relating to your SRS.

How to Use the System

This section covers how to set up the system controls for ventilation, heating, cooling, dehumidifying, and defrosting.

The engine must be running for the heater and air conditioning to generate hot and cold air. The heater uses engine coolant to warm the air. If the engine is cold, it will be several minutes before you feel warm air coming from the system. The air conditioning does not rely on engine temperature.
