However, you should have your vehicle inspected by a dealer in the following situations: When the airbags have deployed If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts mu\ st be replaced. Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be replaced. When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your dealer inspect the foll\ owing: the driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the passenger’s seat, front seat belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during the crash. Do not remove or modify a front seat without first consulting a dealer This would likely disable the driver’s seat position sensor or the weight sensors in the passenger’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a Honda dealer. For U.S. vehicles, call Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009. Fo\ r Canadian vehicles, call Honda Canada Customer Relations at (888) 946-6329.Child Safety Each year, many children are injured or killed in vehicle crashes because they are either unrestrained or not properly restrained. In fact, vehicle collisi\ ons are the number one cause of death of children ages 12 and under. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children ages 12 and under be properly restrained in \ a rear seat. Some states or provinces/territories have laws restricting where childre\ n may ride. To reduce the number of child deaths and injuries, every state, Canadian \ province and territory requires that infants and children be properly restrained \ when they ride in a vehicle. Protecting Child Passengers• An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting i\ n the front seat. • A child in the front seat is more likely to interfere with the driver’\ s ability to safely control the vehicle. • Statistics show that children of all sizes and ages are safer when they \ are properly restrained in a rear seat. • Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrai\ ned in an approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either\ the lap belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt or the lower anchors of the LATCH system. • Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them \ in the event of a collision. • Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the bel\ t would likely press deep into the child and cause serious or fatal injuries. • Never let two children use the same seat belt. Both children could be ve\ ry seriously injured in a crash. • Do not allow children to operate the doors, windows, or seat adjusters. • Do not leave children in the vehicle unattended, especially in hot weath\ er when the inside of the vehicle can get hot enough to kill them. They could al\ so activate vehicle controls, causing it to move unexpectedly. Children who are unrestrained or improperly restrained can be seriously \ injured or killed in a crash. Any child too small for a seat belt should be properly restrained in a c\ hild seat. A larger child should be properly restrained with a seat belt, usi\ ng a booster seat if necessary. WARNING
16 || 17 SAFETY SAFETY TABLE OF CONTENTS INDEX VISUAL INDEX VOICE COMMAND INDEX SAFETY INFORMATION CUSTOMER INFORMATION INSTRUMENT PANEL SPECIFICATIONS VEHICLE CONTROLS MAINTENANCE AUDIO AND CONNECTIVITY HANDLING THE UNEXPECTED BLUETOOTH® HANDSFREELINK® DRIVING HONDALINK® NAVIGATION Protecting Infants An infant must be properly restrained in a rear-facing, reclining child seat until the infant reaches the seat maker’s weight or height limit for the seat, and the infant is at least one year old. Many experts recommend use of a rear-facing seat for a child up to two years old if the child’s height and weight are appropriate for a rear-facing seat. Child seats must be placed and secured in a rear seating position. Rear-facing child seats should never be installed in a forward-facing position. When properly installed, a rear-facing child seat may prevent the driver or a front passenger from moving their seat all the way back, or from locking their\ seat-back in the desired position. If this occurs, we recommend that you install t\ he 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. Allowing a child to play with a seat belt or wrap one around their neck \ can result in serious injury or death. Instruct children not to play with any seat belt and make sure any unuse\ d seat belt a child can reach is buckled, fully retracted, and locked. WARNING Protecting Smaller Children If a child is at least one year old and within the weight range indicate\ d by the child seat manufacturer, the child should be properly restrained in a firmly secured forward-facing child seat. We strongly recommend placing a forward-facing child seat in a rear seating position. Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn the passenger’s front airbag off. A rear seat is the safest place for a child. Selecting a Child SeatMost child seats are LATCH-compatible (Lower Anchors and Tethers for CHildren). Some have a rigid-type connector, while others have a flexible-type connector. Both are equally easy to use. Some existing and previously owned child s\ eats can only be installed using the seat belt. Whichever type you choose, follow\ the child seat manufacturer’s use and care instructions as well as the instructions in this manual. Proper installation is key to maximizing your child’s safety. In seating positions and vehicles not equipped with LATCH, a LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed using the seat belt and a top tether for add\ ed security. This is because all child seats are required to be designed so that they\ can be secured with a lap belt or the lap part of a lap/shoulder belt. In addit\ ion, the child seat manufacturer may advise that a seat belt be used to attach a \ LATCH- compatible seat once a child reaches a specified weight. Please read t\ he child seat owner’s manual for proper installation instructions. Important considerations when selecting a child seat Make sure the child seat meets the following three requirements: • The child seat is the correct type and size for the child. • The child seat is the correct type for the seating position. • The child seat is compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 or Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213. Placing a rear-facing child seat in the front seat can result in serious injury or death during a crash. Always place a rear-facing child seat in the rear seat, not the front. WARNING Placing a forward-facing child seat in the front seat can result in seri\ ous injury or death if the front airbag inflates. If you must place a forward-facing child seat in front, move the vehicle\ seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the child. WARNING

A \ child seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or flexibl\ e type of connectors. 1. Locate the lower anchors under the marks. 2. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat, then attach the child seat to the lower anchors according to the instructions that came with the child seat. Make sure that the lower anchors are not obstructed by the seat belt or any other object. 3. For outer seats: Raise the head restraint to its highest position, then route the tether strap between the head restraint legs. For the center seat: Lower the head restraint to its lowest position. Open the anchor cover. Route the tether strap over the head restraint. Make sure the strap is not twisted. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor. 4. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat maker’s instructions. 5. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and back and side to side; little movement should be felt. 6. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked. Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt 1. Place the child seat on the vehicle seat. 2. Route the seat belt through the child seat according to the seat maker’s instructions, and insert the latch plate into the buckle. Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks. 3. Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it stops. This activates the lockable retractor. 4. Let the seat belt completely wind up into the retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the retractor is locked. If you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is not activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 4. 5. Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the buckle, and pull up to remove any slack from the lap part of the belt. When doing this, place your weight on the child seat and push it into the vehicle seat. 6. Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and back and side to side; little movement should be felt. 7. Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully retracted and locked. To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the way.

If you have a child restraint system that comes with a tether but can be installed with a seat belt, the tether ma\ y be used for additional security. 1. Using an outer anchor: Raise the head restraint to its highest position, then route the tether strap through the head restraint legs. Using the center anchor: Lower the head restraint to its lowest position. Open the anchor cover. Route the tether strap through the head restraint legs. Make sure the strap is not twisted. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor. 2. Secure the tether strap hook onto the anchor. 3. Tighten the tether strap according to the seat maker’s instructions. Protecting Larger Children When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in a rear sea\ t using the lap/shoulder seat belt. Have the child sit upright and all the way back, then ensure the followi\ ng: • The child’s knees bend comfortably over the edge of the seat. • The shoulder belt crosses between the child’s neck and arm. • The lap part of the seat belt is as low as possible, touching the child’s thighs. • The child can stay seated for the whole trip. If a lap/shoulder belt cannot be used properly, position the child in a booster seat in a rear seating position. For the child’s safety, check that the child meets the booster seat manufacturer’s recommendations. Some U.S. states and Canadian provinces/territories require children to \ use a booster seat until they reach a given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or 6\ 0 lbs). Be sure to check current laws in the state or province/territory where you inten\ d to drive. Tether anchorage points Anchor fitting Anchor Tether strap hook Tether strap hook AnchorAllowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the front can result in injur\ y or death if the passenger’s front airbag inflates. If a larger child must ride in front, move the vehicle seat as far to th\ e rear as possible, then have the child sit up properly and wear the seat belt pro\ perly, using a booster seat if needed.
