06/07/26 17:24:06 31SHJ620 0026 Seat Belt System Components Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all five seating positions. The front seat belts are also equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. This system uses the same sensors as the front airbags to monitor whether the front seat belts are latched or unlatched, and how much weight is on the front passenger’s...
06/07/26 20:44:01 31SHJ620 0027 Additional Information About Your Seat Belts If the indicator comes on or the beeper sounds when the driver’s seat belt is latched and there is no front seat passenger and no items on the front seat, something may be interfering with the monitoring system.
06/07/26 17:24:22 31SHJ620 0028 If the shoulder part of the belt is pulled all the way out, the lockable retractor will activate. The belt will retract, but it will not allow the passenger to move freely. To deactivate the lockable retractor, unlatch the buckle and let the seat belt fully retract.

Page 34
06/07/26 17:25:01 31SHJ620 0033 Additional Information About Your Airbags During a frontal crash, your seat belt restrains your lower body and torso, and the airbag helps protect your head and chest. Although both airbags normally inflate within a split second of each other, it is possible for only one airbag to deploy.
Page 35
06/07/26 17:25:10 31SHJ620 0034 The total time for inflation and deflation is 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.
Page 36
SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR The passenger’s advanced front airbag system has weight sensors under the seat. Although Honda does not encourage carrying an infant or small child in front, if the sensors detect the weight of an infant or small child (up to about 65 lbs or 29 kg), the system will automatically turn the passenger’s...
06/07/26 17:25:28 31SHJ620 0036 Be aware that objects placed on the passenger’s seat can also cause the airbag to be turned off. When the airbag is turned off, a ‘‘passenger airbag off’’ indicator in the center of the dashboard comes on (see page If the weight sensors detect there is no passenger in the front seat, the airbag will be off.
Page 38
Your vehicle has a side airbag cutoff system designed primarily to protect a child riding in the front passenger’s seat. Although Honda does not encourage children to ride in front, if the sensors in the seat detect a child has leaned into the side airbag’s deployment path, the airbag will shut off.
06/07/26 17:25:43 31SHJ620 0038 How Your Side Curtain Airbags Work In a Side Impact In a moderate to severe side impact, sensors will detect rapid acceleration and signal the control unit to instantly inflate the side curtain airbag and activate the seat belt tensioner on the driver’s or the passenger’s side of the vehicle.
06/07/26 17:25:51 31SHJ620 0039 Additional Information About Your Airbags How the SRS Indicator Works The SRS indicator alerts you to a potential problem with your airbags or seat belt tensioners. When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, this indicator comes on for several seconds then goes off.
06/07/26 17:26:02 31SHJ620 0040 How the Side Airbag Off Indicator Works This indicator U.S. Canada alerts you that the passenger’s side airbag has been automatically shut off. It does mean there is a problem with your side airbags. When you turn the ignition switch to the ON (II) position, the indicator should come on for several seconds and then go off (see page...
06/07/26 17:26:10 31SHJ620 0041 Additional Information About Your Airbags If the indicator comes on with no front seat passenger and no objects on the seat, or with an adult riding there, something may be interfering with the weight sensors. Look for and remove: Any items under the front passenger’s seat.
This could make the dealer. driver’s seat position sensor or the front passenger’s weight sensors ineffective. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to accommodate a person with disabilities, first contact Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009.
06/07/26 17:26:25 31SHJ620 0043 Protecting Children − General Guidelines Children depend on adults to protect them. However, despite their best intentions, many adults do not know how to properly protect child passengers. If you have children, or ever need to drive with a child in your vehicle, be sure to read this section.
06/07/26 17:26:35 31SHJ620 0044 All Children Should Sit in a Back Seat According to accident statistics, children of all ages and sizes are safer when they are restrained in a back seat. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children aged 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat.
06/07/26 17:26:47 31SHJ620 0045 Protecting Children − General Guidelines To remind you of the passenger’s front airbag hazards, and that children must be properly restrained in a back seat, your vehicle has warning labels on the dashboard (U.S. models) and on the front visors.

Protecting Infants and Small Children Only a rear-facing child seat provides proper support for a baby’s head,...
06/07/26 17:27:21 31SHJ620 0049 Protecting Infants and Small Children In any of these situations, we strongly recommend that you install the child seat directly behind the front passenger’s seat, move the seat as far forward as needed, and leave it unoccupied. Or, you may wish to get a smaller rear-facing child seat.
Page 51
06/07/26 17:27:27 31SHJ620 0050 Child Seat Placement We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a back seat, not the front. Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat of a vehicle equipped with a passenger’s airbag can be If the vehicle seat is too hazardous.

06/07/26 17:29:05 31SHJ620 0062 Does the shoulder belt cross between the child’s neck and arm? Is the lap part of the belt as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs? Will the child be able to stay seated like this for the whole trip? If you answer yes to all these questions, the child is ready to wear the lap/shoulder belt correctly.
06/07/26 17:29:13 31SHJ620 0063 Protecting Larger Children If a child who uses a booster seat must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far back as possible and be sure the child is wearing the seat belt properly. A child may continue using a booster seat until the tops of their ears are even with the top of the vehicle’s or booster’s seat-back.
06/07/26 17:29:21 31SHJ620 0064 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 rear- most position.
