05/12/21 16:37:43 31SAA600 0016 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. 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.
05/12/21 16:37:50 31SAA600 0017 Protecting Adults and Teens Fasten and Position the Seat Belts Insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the belt is securely latched. Check that the belt is not twisted, because a twisted belt can cause serious injuries in a crash.

05/12/21 16:38:32 31SAA600 0022 Lap/Shoulder Belt The lap/shoulder belt goes over your shoulder, across your chest, and across your hips. To fasten the belt, insert the latch plate into the buckle, then tug on the belt to make sure the buckle is latched (see page for how to properly position the belt).
05/12/21 16:38:41 31SAA600 0023 Additional Information About Your Seat Belts Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners For added protection, the front seat belts are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners. When activated, the tensioners immediately tighten the belts to help hold the driver and a front passenger in position. The tensioners are designed to activate in any collision severe enough to cause the front airbags to...
05/12/21 16:38:45 31SAA600 0024 If a seat belt is worn during a crash, it must be replaced by your dealer. 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.

Page 31
05/12/21 16:39:34 31SAA600 0030 Advanced Airbags Your front airbags are also advanced airbags. The main purpose of this feature is to help prevent airbag- caused injuries to short drivers and children who ride in front. For both advanced airbags to work properly: Occupants must sit upright and wear their seat belts properly.
05/12/21 16:39:43 31SAA600 0031 Additional Information About Your Airbags 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 33
05/12/21 16:39:51 31SAA600 0032 Only one airbag will deploy during a side impact. If the impact is on the passenger’s side, the passenger’s side airbag will deploy even if there is no passenger. To get the best protection from the side airbags, front seat occupants should wear their seat belts and sit upright and well back in their seats.
05/12/21 16:40:01 31SAA600 0033 Additional Information About Your Airbags How Your Side Curtain Airbags Work SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG 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.
05/12/21 16:40:10 31SAA600 0034 If you see any of these indications, the airbags and seat belt tensioners may not work properly when you need them. Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS indicator alerts you to...
05/12/21 16:40:20 31SAA600 0035 Additional Information About Your Airbags Be aware that objects placed on the front seat can cause the indicator to come on. If no weight is detected on the front seat, the airbag will be automatically shut off. However, the indicator will not come on.
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.
05/12/21 16:40:34 31SAA600 0037 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.

Only a rear-facing child seat provides proper support for a baby’s head, neck, and back.
05/12/21 16:41:30 31SAA600 0043 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.
05/12/21 16:41:40 31SAA600 0044 Even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off (see page ), a back seat is the safest place for a small child. If it is necessary to put a forward- facing child seat in the front, move the vehicle seat as far to the rear as possible, and be sure the child seat is firmly secured to the vehicle and the...
05/12/21 16:41:48 31SAA600 0045 Selecting a Child Seat, Installing a Child Seat The child seat should fit the vehicle seating position (or positions) where it will be used.

05/12/21 16:42:51 31SAA600 0053 Protecting Larger Children 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.
05/12/21 16:43:01 31SAA600 0054 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.
