NOTICE Adjusting the Seats Make seat adjustments before driving to ensure the best comfort and safe\ ty. Adjusting the Front Seats Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright and well back in the seat, adequately press the pedals without leaning forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be adjusted so that it is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard as possible. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the ce\ nter of the steering wheel and the chest. Move back and allow sufficient space. Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in\ a crash. Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the se\ at. WARNING Horizontal position adjustment Height adjustment (Driver’s seat only) Lumbar support adjustment* (Driver’s seat only) Seat-back angle adjustment Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or deat\ h if the front airbags inflate.

Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor\ . WARNING Adjusting the Head Restraints Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions. H\ ead restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other \ rear-impact crash injuries. The center of the back of the occupant’s head should rest against the center of the restraint. The tops of the occupant’s ears should be level with the center height of the restraint. To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward. To lower the head restraint: Push it down while pressing the release button. To remove the head restraint: Pull the restraint up as far as it will go. Then push the release button, and pull the restraint up and out. To reinstall a head restraint: Insert the legs back in place, then adjust the head restraint to an appropriate height while pressing the release button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position. Position head in the center of the head restraint.Front seat Second- or third-row seat Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash. Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before dr\ iving. WARNING Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can re\ sult in severe injury during a crash. Always replace the head restraints before driving. WARNING Active Head RestraintsThe 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 against the likelihood of whiplash and injur\ ies to the neck and upper spine. After a collision, the activated restraint should return to its normal p\ osition. If the restraints do not return to their normal position, or in the event o\ f 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. Floor Mats Position the front seat floor mats properly, and anchor them. If they are not properly positioned, the floor mats can interfere with the front seat functions. Do not put additional floor mats on top of the anchored mats. To unlock Front(driver side)
