Using Child Seats with Tethers
Protecting Children
TETHER STRAP HOOK
One tether anchorage point for each of the outer rear seats is located under the cargo floor carpet and the tailgate sill. Pull up the carpet to access the anchorage point (outboard anchor) when securing a tether-style child seat to the vehicle.
Since a tether can provide additional security, we recommend using a tether whenever one is required or available.
Lift the head restraint, then route the tether strap over the seat-back between the legs of the head restraint.
ANCHORAGE POINT
Attach the tether strap hook to the tether anchorage point as shown in the illustration, then tighten the strap according to the child seat maker’s instructions. Make sure the strap is not twisted.

Seat Belt System Components Your seat belt system includes lap/ shoulder belts in all five seating positions.
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. The light will stay on until the driver’s seat belt is fastened.
Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
Lap/Shoulder Belt
This seat belt has a single belt that 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.
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 vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the way and will not get closed in the door.
All seat 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.
The seat belts in all seating positions except the driver’s have an additional locking mechanism that must be activated to secure a child seat. (See pages for instructions on how to secure child seats with this type of seat belt.)

Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
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.
To deactivate the locking mechanism, unlatch the buckle and let the seat belt fully retract. To refasten the belt, pull it out only as far as needed.

for instructions on how
See page to wear the lap/shoulder belt properly.
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 place.
44
Driver and Passenger Safety
The tensioners are designed to activate primarily in frontal collisions. The tensioners are independent of the airbag system, so they can be activated during a collision that might not cause the airbags to deploy. In this case, the airbags would not be needed but the additional seat belt tension can be helpful.
The tensioners will be activated in a collision severe enough to cause the front airbags to inflate.
When the tensioners are activated, the seat belts will remain tight until they are unbuckled in the normal way.
The SRS indicator light will come on if there is a
problem with your automatic seat belt tensioners (see page
48
).

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.Model 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 WarrantyInformation details.
booklet for
Honda
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, it must be replaced by the 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.

Additional Information About Your Airbags
How Your Front Airbags Work
A sophisticated electronic system that continually monitors and records information about the sensors, the control unit, the airbag activators, and driver and passenger seat belt use 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
48
).
Emergency backup power in case your car’s electrical system is disconnected in a crash.
If you ever have a moderate to severe frontal collision, the sensors will detect the vehicle’s rapid deceleration. If the rate of deceleration is high enough, the control unit will instantly inflate the front airbags.
Airbag 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.’’
Automatic seat belt tensioners (see page
44
).
Sensors that can detect a moderate to severe frontal collision.
46
Driver and Passenger Safety
02/07/12 08:59:46 31S5T610_050
During a frontal 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.
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.
Additional Information About Your Airbags
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 vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
U.S.Owners For additional information on how your airbags work, see the booklet titled SRS:WhatYouNeedtoKnow that came with your AboutAirbags owner’s manual.
CanadianOwners For additional information on how your airbags work, ask your dealer for a copy of the booklet titled SRS: WhatYouNeedtoKnowAboutAirbags.
Driver and Passenger Safety
47
After inflating, the front 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.
02/07/12 08:59:56 31S5T610_051
Additional Information About Your Airbags
How Your Side Airbags Work Optional
If you ever have a moderate to severe side impact, the sensors will detect rapid deceleration and signal the control unit to instantly inflate either the driver’s or the passenger’s side airbag.
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.
How the SRS Indicator Light Works
The purpose of the SRS indicator light is to alert
you to a potential problem with your front airbags. On vehicles with side airbags, this light will also alert you to a potential problem with your automatic seat belt tensioners (page 44
passenger’s side airbag automatic cutoff system (page); or your side airbags or
49
).
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.
When you turn the ignition ON (II), this indicator will light briefly then go out. This tells you that the system is working properly.
Your car is equipped with side airbags for the driver and a front seat passenger. The airbags are stored in the outer edges of the front seat-backs, and both are marked ‘‘SIDE AIRBAG.’’

Driver and Passenger Safety
０３／０４／１６ １２：５１：４１ ３１Ｓ５Ｔ６１０ ００５２
Additional Information About Your Airbags
If the light comes on at any other time, or does not come on at all, 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 switch to 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 front or side airbags may not deploy, your passenger’s side airbag automatic cutoff system may not work properly, or your seat belt tensioners may not work 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, cutoff system, or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS light alerts you to a potential problem.
How the Passenger Airbag Cutoff Indicator Light Works Onlywhenequippedwithsideairbags
This light alerts you that the passenger’s side airbag
has been automatically shut off.
It does not mean there is a problem with your side airbags. It means that the side airbag cutoff system has activated to prevent the side airbag from deploying.
To reduce the risk of injury from an inflating side airbag, your car has an automatic cutoff system for the passenger’s side airbag.
Although Honda does not encourage children to ride in the front, this system is designed to shut off the side airbag if a child leans sideways and the child’s head is in the side airbag deployment path.

Airbag Service Your front airbag system and side airbag system (if equipped) are virtually maintenance-free, and there are no parts you can safely service. However, you must have your car serviced if:
Any
Yourairbagseverinflate. airbag that has deployed must be replaced along with the seat belt tensioners, control unit and other related parts. Do not try to remove or replace any airbag by yourself. This must be done by a Honda dealer or a knowledgeable body shop.
If a small-statured adult leans sideways, or larger adult slouches and leans sideways into the deployment path of the side airbag, the system may also shut off the side airbag.
If the passenger airbag cutoff indicator light comes on, you should have the passenger sit upright. Once the passenger is out of the deployment path of the side airbag, the system will turn the airbag back on and the light will go out.
A front seat passenger should not use a cushion or other object as a backrest. It may prevent the cutoff system from working properly.

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide.
High levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly in enclosed areas, such as a garage. Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even with the door open, run the engine only long enough to move the vehicle out of the garage.
With the hatch open, air flow can pull exhaust gas into your car’s interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive with the hatch open, open all the windows and set the heating and cooling system as shown below.
If you must sit in your parked car, even in an unconfined area, with the engine running, adjust the heating and cooling system as follows:
1. 2. 3. 4.
Select the Fresh Air mode. Select the Turn the fan on high speed. Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.

Immobilizer System The Immobilizer System protects your car from theft. A properly- coded master or valet key must be used in the ignition switch for the engine to start. If an improperly- coded key (or other device) is used, the engine’s fuel system is disabled.
When you turn the ignition switch to ON (II), the Immobilizer System indicator should come on for a few seconds, then go out. If the indicator starts to blink, it means the system does not recognize the coding of the key. Turn the ignition switch to LOCK (0), remove the key, reinsert it, and turn the switch to ON (II) again.
The system may not recognize your key’s coding if another immobilizer key or other metal object is near the ignition switch when you insert the key. To make sure the system recognizes the key code:
