INTRODUCTION
This Owner’s Guide is intended to help you quickly get acquainted with your 2017
Honda Ridgeline. It provides basic information and instructions on technology and
convenience features, as well as emergency procedures and how to get ass\

This guide is for vehicles sold in the United States and Canada. It cove\
rs all models, so you may find descriptions of features and equipment that are not in yo\

equipment that
are available on some, but not all, models.
This guide is not intended to be a substitute for the Owner’s Manual. The Owner Information CD enclosed in your glove box kit includes the Owner’s Manual, Navigation Manual, and vehicle and tire warranties in electronic format. This infor\
mation can be
viewed on a computer (PC or Mac platform) and saved or printed for you\

a complimentary printed copy of the Owner’s Manual, Navigation Manual, or Vehicle Warranty within the first six months of vehicle purchase. To request a copy, visit owners.honda.com and
create or log in to your account. In Canada, please request a copy from \
your Honda dealer.

nvironment and natural resources. By using electronic delivery for a considerable p\
ortion of the information typically found in a vehicle Owner’s Manual, we are further reducing our
impact on the environment.

n Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from the
steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A\
front
passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possi\
ble.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag. Carrying
hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp\
o
bject in your
mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers. Objects on the covers
marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper operation of the airba\
gs or be
propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags. They can interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag infl ate\
s.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars. They can interfere
with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers. This can prevent your side
airbags from properly deploying during a side impact.
WARNING
An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash,\

even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always keep the glove box closed while driving.
n Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and\
a message
appears on the multi-information display.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other time besides
vehicle start-up, or does not come on at all, have the
system checked by a dealer as soon as possible. If
you don’t, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may
not work properly when they are needed.
WARNING
Ignoring the SRS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the \
airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS
indicator alerts you to a possible problem.
Airbag System Indicators
The indicator comes on to alert you that the front
passenger’s front airbag has been turned off.
This occurs when the front passenger’s weight
sensors detect 65 lbs (29 kg) or less, the weight of an
infant or small child, on the seat.
U.S. Canada
Infants and small children should always ride properly restrained in a b\
ack seat.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
and the indicator will not come on.
If the indicator comes on with no occupant or objects in the front passe\
nger’s seat,
something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
•
An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
•
A child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.\
•
A rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front passenger’\
s seat.
•
The front seat or seat-back is forced against an object on the seat or fl\
oor
behind it.
•
An object placed under the front passenger’s seat.
If none of these conditions exist, have your vehicle checked by a dealer\
as soon as
possible.
The passenger airbag off indicator may go on and off repeatedly if the t\
otal weight
on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.

Frequently Asked Questions/Troubleshooting
Below are some frequently asked questions and troubleshooting items that\
you may
have about the vehicle.
Q:
How do I set the vehicle clock?
A:
See page 55. For vehicles with navigation, the time is automatically set\
using
GPS signals.
Q:
Why doesn’t the vehicle start when I press the ENGINE START/STOP button?
A:
The brake pedal must be pressed to start the engine.
Q:
What is the AUTO setting on my headlight lever?
A:
When in the AUTO position, the vehicle’s exterior lights will automatically turn
on or off depending on the ambient lighting.
Q:
Why won’t the driver’s door unlock when I grab the door handle, even though
the keyless access remote* is within range?
A:
If you pull the handle too quickly, the system may not have time to confirm the
door is unlocked. Wait to hear a beep to confirm the door is unlocked. If you are
wearing gloves, the system may be slow to respond.
Q:
After my battery was disconnected or went dead, the audio system is aski\
ng for a
code. Where do I find this?
A:
In most cases, you do not need to enter a code. Turn on the vehicle, then press
and hold the audio power button until the system reactivates.
Q:
Why can’t I operate Pandora* through the audio system?
A:
Audio may be streaming through Bluetooth Audio. Make sure Pandora mode
is selected and the phone cable is properly connected to the USB adapter\
.
Some phones may prompt you to “Allow” a connection.
Q:
Is my phone compatible with Bluetooth features? How do I pair my phone?
A:
To check phone compatibility, visit handsfreelink.honda.com (U.S.) or www.
handsfreelink.ca (Canada). Once there, select your vehicle and phone, \
then click the
image of your phone to check feature compatibility. For pairing instructions,
see page 80 in this book.
Q:
Every time I press the Talk button, the system gives me voice prompts. Can I turn
these off?
A:
You can press the Talk button a second time to interrupt the guidance. Or, you can
turn guidance on or off permanently via System settings. See page 54 . Q:
Why can’t I select an item using the selector knob or touchscreen?
A:
To prevent driver distraction, certain items are limited or inoperable wh\
ile the vehicle
is moving. Use voice commands or pull over to select the items.
Q: Where can I find the vehicle identification number (VIN)?
A: Check the label on the driver’
s doorjamb (the upright piece to which the door latches).
