To adjust the seat forward or backward, pull up on the bar under the seat cushion’s front edge. Move the seat to the desired position, and release the bar. Try to move the seat to make sure it is locked in position.

To change the seat-back angle, pull up on the lever on the outside of the seat bottom.

Once a seat is adjusted correctly, rock it back and forth to make sure it is locked in position.

The height of your driver’s seat is adjustable. To raise the seat, repeatedly pull up the lever on the outside of the seat cushion. To lower the seat, push the lever down repeatedly.

Head Restraints Seepage forimportantsafety informationandawarningabout improperlypositioningheadrestraints.

Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions to help protect you and your passengers from whiplash and other injuries.

They are most effective when you adjust them so the center of the back of the occupant’s head rests against the center of the restraint.

RemovingtheHeadRestraint To remove a head restraint for cleaning or repair, pull it up as far as it will go. Push the release button, then pull the restraint out of the seat- back.

156

When reinstalling a head restraint, put the legs back in place. Then adjust it to the appropriate height while pressing the release button.

Make sure the head restraint locks in position when you reinstall it.

Failure to reinstall the head restraints can result in severe injury during a crash.

Always replace the head restraints before driving.

ActiveHeadRestraints

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.

2009 Pilot０８／０３／１０　１７：４８：４５　３１ＳＺＡ６００　０１６２　

This reduces the distance between the restraint and the occupant’s head. It also helps protect the occupants against whiplash and injuries to the neck and upper spine.

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.

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.

Adjusting the Second Row Seats

To adjust the second row seats forward and backward, pull up on the bar under the front edge of the seat cushion. Move the seat to the desired position and release the bar. Try to move the seat to make sure it is locked in position.

Pull up the handle on the outside of the seat-back.

4.

Fold the seat-back forward.

Folding the Third Row Seat 1.

Use the latch plate to release the seat belt from the detachable anchor (see page

Detachable Anchor

Make sure all items in the cargo area are secured. Loose items can fly forward and cause injury if you have Carrying Cargo to brake hard (See on page

).

LATCH PLATE

The seat belts in the second row center seat and the third row seats are equipped with detachable anchors.

To unlatch the detachable anchor, insert the latch plate into the slot on the side of the anchor buckle. Store the detachable anchor and seat belt latch plates in the retractor housing.

160

When the seats are returned to the upright position, these detachable anchors should be latched back properly.

Using the seat belt with the detachable anchor unlatched increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.

Before using the seat belt, make sure the detachable anchor is correctly latched.

HEATERS

Driver’s Seat

OnEX-L,Touringmodels,andCanadian EXmodels Both front seats are equipped with seat heaters. Because of the sensors for the side airbag cutoff system, there is no heater in the passenger’s seat-back. The ignition switch must be in the ON (II) position to use the heaters.

Front seat

LOW

Second row seat

Push the right side of the switch, HI, to rapidly heat up the seat. After the seat reaches a comfortable temperature, select LO by pushing the left side of the switch. This will keep the seat warm.

OnCanadianTouringmodels The outer second row seat cushions and seat-backs are equipped with seat heaters. Turning the switch on the driver side warms the outer seat behind the driver’s seat only. The passenger side switch warms the outer seat behind the front passenger seat.

162

2009 Pilot０８／０３／１０　１７：４９：３２　３１ＳＺＡ６００　０１６８　

In the HI setting, the heater turns off when the seat gets warm, and turns back on after the seat’s temperature drops.

In the LO setting, the heater runs continuously. It does not cycle with temperature changes.

Follow these precautions when using the seat heaters:

Use the HI setting only to heat the seats quickly, because it draws large amounts of current from the battery.

If the engine is left idling for an extended period, do not use the seat heaters even on the LO setting. It can weaken the battery, causing hard starting.
