After a collision, the activated restraint should return to its normal position.
If the restraints do not return to their normal position, or in the event of a severe collision, have the vehicle inspected by a Honda dealer.
The driver’s and front passenger’s seats have active head restraints. If the vehicle is struck severely from the rear, the occupant properly secured with the seat belt will be pushed against the seat-back and the head restraint will automatically move forward.
This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant’s head. It also helps protect the occupants
For a head restraint system to work properly:
Do not hang any items on the head restraints, or from the restraint legs.
Do not place any object between an occupant and the seat-back.
Install each restraint in its proper location.
Only use genuine Honda replacement head restraints.
Folding the Rear Seats Down The rear seat-backs can be folded down for more cargo room.
Each side folds down separately, so you can still carry one or two passengers in the rear seat.
Remove any items from the seat before folding down the seat-back, and make sure there are no items on the floor before folding down the seats.
