SAFETYSAFETY
1 Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags. The driver’s airbag 
is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger’s airbag is 
stored in the dashboard. Both are marked SRS AIRBAG.
2  Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for the front passenger. The 
airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seat-backs. Both are marked 
SIDE AIRBAG.
3  Two side curtain airbags, one for each side of the vehicle. The airbags are 
stored in the ceiling, above the side windows. The front and rear pillars are 
marked SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.
4 An electronic control unit that continually monitors and can record
information about the sensors, the airbag activators, the seat belt tensioners, 
and driver and front passenger seat belt use when the vehicle is on.
5  Automatic front seat belt tensioners. The driver’s and front passenger’s seat 
belts incorporate sensors that detect whether or not they are fastened.
6  A driver’s seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will 
inflate with less force.
7  Weight sensors in the front passenger’s seat. The front passenger’s airbag 
will be turned off if the weight on the seat is 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight 
of an infant or small child).
8  Impact sensors that can detect a moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
9  An indicator on the dashboard that alerts you that the front passenger’s front 
airbag has been turned off.
10  An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem 
with the airbag system or seat belt tensioners.

Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace\
any
airbag system components yourself. 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 must 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 following: 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. For Canadian 
vehicles, call Honda Canada Customer relations at (888) 946-6329.
