Seat belts are the most important part of your occupant protection system. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or death in a crash. For added protection during a severe frontal collision, your Civic has a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with a driver's airbag and a passenger's airbag. Two indicator lights are also part of your safety system. One reminds you to make sure you and your passengers wear your seat belts. The other alerts you to a possible problem with your Driver and Passenger Safety supplemental restraint system (see page 14). The seats, head restraints, and door locks also play a role in occupant safety. For example, reclining the seat-back can decrease the effectiveness of your seat belt. Head restraints can help protect your neck and head, especially during rear-end impacts. Door locks help keep your doors from being accidentally opened during a crash. To get the maximum protection from your occupant protection system, check the following before you drive away: Everyone in the car is wearing a seat belt properly (see page 7). Infants or small children are properly secured in a child safety seat (see page 17). Both doors are closed and locked (see page 15). Seat-backs are upright (see page 15). There are no loose items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash or sudden stop (see page 15). By following these guidelines, you can reduce injuries to yourself and your passengers in many crash situations. Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can occur in severe crashes. Main MenuTable of ContentsstWhy Wear Seat Belts Wearing seat belts and wearing them properly is fundamental to your safety and the safety of your passengers. During a crash or emergency stop, seat belts can help keep you from being thrown against the inside of the car, against other occupants, or out of the car. Of course, seat belts cannot completely protect you in every crash. But, in most cases, seat belts reduce your chance of serious injury. They can even save your life. That is why many states and all Canadian provinces require you to wear seat belts. The Seat Belt System and How It Works Not wearing a seat belt increases the chance of being killed or seriously hurt in a crash. Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them properly. Important Safety Reminders Seat belts are designed for adults and larger children. All infants and small children must be properly restrained in child safety seats (see page 18). A pregnant woman needs to wear a seat belt to protect herself and her unborn child (see page 9). Two people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be very seriously injured in a crash. Do not place the shoulder portion of a lap/shoulder belt under your arm or behind your back. This could increase the chance of serious injuries in a crash. Do not put shoulder belt pads or other accessories on seat belts. They can reduce the effectiveness of the belts and increase the chance of injury. Seat Belt System Components Your Honda has seat belts in all five seating positions. The front seats and the outside positions of the rear seat have lap/shoulder belts. The center Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstThe Seat Belt System and How It Works Each lap/shoulder belt has 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. Lap Belt The lap belt has one manually adjusted belt that fits across the hips. It is similar to safety belts used in airplanes. BUCKLE SHOULDER PORTION LATCH PLATE BUCKLE UPPER SEAT BELT ANCHOR To Retractor LAP PORTION LATCH PLATE position of the rear seat has a lap belt. Your seat belt system also includes a light on the instrument panel to remind you to fasten your seat belt and to make sure your passengers fasten theirs. This light comes on when you turn on the ignition if you have not fastened your seat belt. A beeper also sounds for several seconds (see page 28). The following pages cover more about the seat belt components and how they work. Lap/Shoulder Belt This style of seat belt has a single belt that goes over your shoulder, across your chest and across your hips. Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstWearing Seat Belts Properly You can increase the effective- ness of your seat belts if you take a little time to read the following pages and make sure you know how to wear seat belts properly. Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash. Be sure you and your passengers always wear seat belts and wear them properly. Wearing a Lap/Shoulder Belt Before putting on the seat belt, move the driver's seat as far back as is practical while still The Seat Belt System and How It Works allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. Make sure the seat-back is upright (see page 43). The front seat passenger should move the seat as far back as possible. 1. Pull the latch plate across your body, and insert it into the buckle. Tug on the belt to make sure the latch is securely locked. 2. Check to see that the belt is not twisted. 3. Position the lap portion of the belt as low as possible across your hips, not across your stomach. This lets your strong pelvic bones take the force of a crash.

Make sure the belt goes over your collarbone and across your chest. position. Move toward the center of the seat until the belt fits over your collarbone. To unlatch the seat belt, push the red PRESS button on the buckle. Guide the belt across your body to the door pillar. If the belt doesn't retract easily, pull it out and check for twists or kinks. Wearing the Lap Belt 1. Pull the latch plate across your hips, and insert it into the buckle marked CENTER. 5. If the shoulder belt crosses your neck while you are sitting in one of the outside rear seating positions, you need to adjust your seating Driver and Passenger Safety If the belt is too short, hold the latch plate at a right angle, and pull to extend the belt. Insert the latch plate into the buckle. Main MenuTable of ContentsstThe Seat Belt System and How It Works 2. Position the belt so it fits as low as possible across your hips and pelvic bones, not across your stomach. Pull the loose end of the belt to adjust for a snug but comfortable fit. To unlatch the belt, push the red PRESS button on the buckle. If possible, use the lap/shoulder seat belt, remembering to keep the lap portion as low as possible (see page 7). Advice for Pregnant Women Protecting the mother is the best way to protect her unborn child. Therefore, a pregnant woman should wear a properly positioned seat belt whenever she drives or rides in a car. Each time you have a check-up, ask your doctor if it's okay for you to drive and how you should position a lap/shoulder seat belt. Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstThe Seat Belt System and How It Works, Supplemental Restraint System Seat Belt Maintenance For safety, you should check the condition of your seat belts regularly. Pull out each belt fully and look for frays, cuts, burns and wear. Check to see that the latches work smoothly and the lap/shoulder belts retract easily. Any belt not in good condition or not working properly should be replaced. If a seat belt is worn during a crash, have your dealer replace the belt and check the anchors for damage. For information on how to clean your seat belts, see page 140. Supplemental Restraint System Your Civic is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System Driver and Passenger Safety (SRS) to help protect the head and chest of the driver and front seat passenger during a severe frontal collision. This system does not replace your seat belts. It supplements, or adds to, the protection offered by the seat belts and other occupant protection features. Not wearing a seat belt 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. SRS Components Your supplemental restraint system includes: One airbag in the steering wheel for the driver, and another in the dashboard for the passenger. Sensors that can detect a severe frontal collision. A sophisticated electronic system that continually monitors the sensors, control unit, airbag activators, and all related wiring when the ignition is ON (II). An indicator light on the instrument panel to alert you to a possible problem with the system. Emergency backup power in case your car's electrical system is disconnected in a crash. Main MenuTable of ContentsstSupplemental Restraint System What Happens in a Crash If you ever have a severe frontal collision, the sensors will detect rapid deceleration and signal the control unit to instantly inflate the airbags. During a crash, your seat belts will help to restrain your lower body and torso. The airbags will provide a cushion to absorb crash energy and help keep the head and chest of the driver and front passenger from striking the interior of the car. After inflating, the airbags will immediately deflate. The entire process, from detection to deflation, takes a fraction of a second. This process occurs so quickly that you may not hear the loud noise created by the airbag inflators or realize what has happened. After the crash, you may see what looks like smoke. This is actually powder from the airbag's surface. People with respiratory problems may experience some temporary discomfort from the chemicals used by the airbag's activators. Important Facts About Airbags Airbags inflate only when needed; in a severe frontal collision. A severe collision would be similar to a crash into a parked car at 25 mph. Airbags will not inflate in a moderate frontal collision, or during a rear impact, side impact, or rollover - even if the impact is severe. FRONTAL COLLISION RANGE Airbags inflate and deflate only once. They cannot protect you during any additional impacts that can occur during a crash sequence. Injuries, including fatal injuries, can occur in a severe collision, even if seat belts are worn properly and the airbags inflate. No safety system can provide complete protection in a severe crash. Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstSupplemental Restraint System How the Driver's Airbag Works If you ever have a severe frontal collision, your airbag will instantly inflate to help protect your head and chest. the airbag might cause some facial abrasions or other injuries. To reduce the possibility of injury, you should always sit back as far from the steering wheel as is practical while still maintaining full vehicle control. Just from viewing the vehicle damage after a crash, it is very difficult to accurately determine if the airbags should or should not have inflated. In some cases where the airbag did not inflate, extensive visible damage indicated that the car absorbed much of the crash energy, and the airbags were not needed. In other cases, a severe jolt, such as an impact to the undercarriage, may not cause extensive body damage but cause the airbags to inflate. To do its job, the airbag inflates with considerable force. So, while it can reduce serious injuries and even save your life, Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstAfter the bag completely inflates, it immediately starts deflating so it won't interfere with your visibility, ability to steer or ability to operate other controls. The total time for inflating and deflation takes a fraction of a second. You may not even be aware that the airbag has been fully inflated. The airbag is stored in the center of the steering wheel. For safety, do not attach any items to the steering wheel. They could interfere with the proper opera- tion of the airbag. Or, if the airbag inflates, the items could be propelled inside the car and hurt someone. Supplemental Restraint System How the Passenger's Airbag Works If you have a severe frontal collision, the passenger's airbag will inflate at the same time as the driver's airbag. The airbag is quite large and inflates with considerable force. It can seriously hurt a front seat passenger who is not in the proper position and wearing the seat belt properly. Front seat passengers should move the seat as far back as practical and sit well back in the seat. We strongly recommend that you do not put an infant seat in the front passenger's seat. If the airbag inflates, it can hit the infant seat with great force. The infant seat can be dislodged or struck with enough force to cause very serious injury to the infant. If a toddler seat is used in the front passenger's seat, the vehicle seat should be moved as far back as possible. If the passenger bag inflates, it could seriously hurt a toddler who is not in the proper position or properly restrained. Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstSupplemental Restraint System The passenger's airbag is stored near the top of the dashboard, under a lid marked SRS. Do not place any objects on top of this lid. If the airbag inflates, those objects can be propelled inside the car and possibly hurt someone. S R S How the SRS Indi- cator Light Works The purpose of the SRS light on your instrument panel is to alert you to a potential problem with your supplemental restraint system. Have the system checked if: The light does not come on when you turn the ignition ON (II). Driver and Passenger Safety The light stays on after the engine starts. The light comes on or flashes while you are driving. System Service Your supplemental restraint system is virtually maintenance- free. There are no parts you can safely service. You must have the system serviced by an authorized Honda dealer: If your airbags ever inflate. The airbags and control unit must be replaced. Do not try to remove or discard the airbags by yourself. This must be done by a Honda dealer. If the SRS indicator light alerts you of a problem. Have the supplemental restraint system checked as soon as possible. Otherwise, your airbags might not inflate when you need them. When the car is 10 years old. Have the dealer inspect the system. The production date is on the driver's doorjamb for your convenience. System Service Precautions Do not modify your steering wheel or any other part of the supplemental restraint system. Modifications could make the system ineffective. Do not tamper with the system components or wiring. This could cause the airbags to inflate inadvertently, possibly injuring someone very seriously. Tell anyone who works on your car that you have a supplemental restraint system. Failure to follow the procedures and Main MenuTable of ContentsstSupplemental Restraint System, Additional Safety Information precautions in the official Honda service manual could result in personal injury or damage to the system. Scrapping an entire car that has uninflated airbags can be dangerous. Get assistance from a Honda dealer if your car must be scrapped. If you sell your car, please be sure to tell the new owner that the car has a supplemental restraint system. Alert them to the information and precautions in this part of the Owner's Manual. Additional Safety Information The seat belts and airbags are obviously important parts of your occupant protection system. In addition, you should know that sitting upright, locking the doors, and stowing things properly can also increase your safety and possibly even save your life. Seat-Back Position The seat-backs should be in an upright position for you and your passengers to get the most protection from the seat belts. If you recline a seat-back, you reduce the protective capability of your seat belt. The farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk that you will slide under the belt in a severe crash and be very seriously injured. For information on how to adjust the seat-back, see page 43. Door Locks It is not safe to leave your car doors unlocked. A passenger, especially a child, could open a door and accidentally fall out. Also, there is a greater chance of being thrown out of the car during a crash when the doors are not locked. Storing Cargo Safely Before you drive, make sure you first securely store or tie down any items that could be thrown around the car and hurt someone or interfere with your ability to operate the controls. Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstAdditional Safety Information their safety that pets should be properly restrained in your car. The recommended way to restrain a medium-sized or larger dog is with a special traveling harness. This harness can be secured to the rear seat with a seat belt. Travel harnesses are available at pet stores. A small dog, cat, or other small animal will be safest in a pet carrier with rigid sides. Choose a style that allows you to secure it to the car's seat by routing a seat belt through the carrier's handle. For further information, contact your veterinarian or local animal protection society. Do not put any items on top of the rear shelf. They can block your view and they could be thrown about the car in a crash. Be sure to keep compartment doors closed when the car is moving. If a front passenger hits the door of an open glove box, for example, he could injure his knees. For information on Loading Cargo, see page 81. Driving With Pets Loose pets can be a hazard while you are driving. An unrestrained pet can interfere with your ability to drive the car. In a crash or sudden stop, loose pets or cages can be thrown around inside the car and hurt you or your passengers. It is also for Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstChildren depend on adults to protect them. To help make sure we do, every state and Canadian province has laws requiring infants and young children to be properly restrained whenever they ride in a car. An infant or child who is not properly restrained can be killed or seriously injured in a crash. Be sure any child too small for seat belts is properly secured in a child restraint. Where Should Children Sit? According to accident statistics, children of all sizes and ages are safer when they are properly restrained in the rear seat rather than the front seat. We recommend that, whenever possible, you secure your child's infant or toddler seat in the center position of the rear seat with the lap belt. Child Safety We strongly recommend that you do not put an infant seat in the front passenger's seat. If the airbag inflates, it can hit the infant seat with great force. The infant seat can be dislodged or struck with enough force to cause very serious injury to the infant. If a toddler seat is used in the front passenger's seat, the vehicle seat should be moved as far back as possible. If the passenger bag inflates, it could seriously hurt a toddler who is not in the proper position or properly restrained. We also recommend that any child who is too large to use an infant or toddler seat ride in one of the outside positions of the rear seat. The child should then Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstChild Safety wear the lap/shoulder belt properly for protection. they could be very seriously injured in a crash. Important Safety Reminders Never hold a baby or child on your lap when riding in a car. If you are wearing your seat belt, the violent forces created during a crash will tear the child from your arms. The child could be seriously hurt or killed. If you are holding a child and not wearing a seat belt in a crash, you could crush the child against the car's interior. Never put your seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the belt could press deep into the child causing serious internal injuries. Two children should never use the same seat belt. If they do, Driver and Passenger Safety For their safety, do not leave children alone in your car without adult supervision. General Guidelines for Restraining Children Under 40 Ib (18kg) Use an approved child seat. The seat must meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS-213) or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Look for the manufacturer's statement of compliance on the box and seat. Use a seat of the right size. Make sure the seat fits your child. Check the seat's instructions and labels for height and weight limits. Secure the child seat to the car. All approved child seats are designed to be secured in the car seat by the lap belt or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt. A child whose seat is not properly secured to the car can be endangered in a crash. To properly route a seat belt through a child seat, follow the seat-maker's instructions. If you use a lap/shoulder belt, be sure you install a locking clip on the belt (see page 20). Secure the child in the child seat. Make sure the infant or child is firmly secured to the child seat. Use the straps provided, and carefully follow the manufacturer's instructions. Main MenuTable of ContentsstRestraining an Infant Who Weighs Less Than 20 Ib (9 kg) An infant up to about 20 Ib (9 kg) must be restrained in an infant seat or a convertible seat designed for a baby. Because infants of that size must ride in a reclining position, be sure the infant seat always faces the REAR of the car as shown. We recommend that, whenever possible, you put the infant seat in the center position of the rear seat and secure it to the car with the lap belt. If you decide to put an infant seat in any other seating position, you must use a locking clip on the car's lap/shoulder belt (see page 20). We strongly recommend that you do not put an infant seat in the front passenger's seat. If the airbag inflates, it can hit the infant seat with great force. The infant seat can be dislodged or struck with enough force to cause very serious injury to the infant. Child Safety Restraining a Child Who Weighs Between 20 and 40 Ib (9 and 18 kg) Toddler seats are designed for children who weigh between 20 and 40 Ib (9 and 18 kg). The preferred place to put a toddler seat is in the center position of the rear seat. Use the Driver and Passenger Safety Main MenuTable of ContentsstChild Safety car's lap belt to secure the seat to the car. rear seat and use a lap/shoulder belt. Put the lap/shoulder belt on your child and check its fit. The shoulder belt should fit over the collarbone and across the chest. The lap belt should sit low on your child's hips, not across the stomach. If you decide to put a toddler seat in any other seating position, you must use a locking clip on the car's lap/shoulder belt (see page 20). If you are using a toddler seat in the front passenger's seat, move the passenger's seat as far back as possible before installing the child seat. If the passenger airbag inflates, it could seriously hurt a toddler who is not in the proper position or properly restrained. Restraining a Child Who Weighs Over 40 Ib (18 kg) We recommend that, whenever possible, a child who has outgrown a toddler seat ride in one of the outside positions of the Driver and Passenger Safety If the shoulder belt crosses the neck, have your child move toward the center of the rear seat until the belt fits properly. If the belt still crosses the child's neck, you should use a booster seat. Several styles of booster seats are available. We recommend a design that allows the child to use the car's lap/shoulder belt. Whichever style you select, follow the booster seat manufacturer's instructions. Using a Seat Belt Locking Clip Always use a seat belt locking clip when you secure a child seat to your car with a lap/shoulder belt. This helps prevent the seat from shifting position or overturning. Main MenuTable of ContentsstA locking clip is usually included with the child seat. If you need a clip, contact the seat's manufacturer or a store that sells child restraints. To install a locking clip, do this: 1. Place the child restraint in the desired position. Route the lap/shoulder belt through the restraint according to the seat manufacturer's instructions. 2. Insert the latch plate into the buckle. Pull on the shoulder part of the belt to make sure there is no slack in the lap portion. 3. Tightly grasp the belt near the latch plate. Pinch both parts of the belt together so they won't slip through the latch plate. Unbuckle the seat belt. Child Safety 4. Install the locking clip as shown. Position the clip as close as possible to the latch plate. Using Child Restraints With Tethers 4.2 in. (106.0 mm) 3.3 in. (85.0 mm) 10.4 in. (264.0 mm) 4.2 in.
