Your safety—and the safety of others—is very important, and operati\
ng this vehicle
safely is an important responsibility. While we strive to help you make informed
decisions about safety, it is not practical or possible to warn you about all the
hazards associated with operating or maintaining your vehicle. Therefore\
, you must
use your own good judgment.
Important Safety Information
This guide explains many of your vehicle’s safety features and how to use them.
Please read this information carefully. Following the instructions below will also help
to keep you and your passengers safe.
Important Safety Precautions•
Always wear your seat belt.
•

•


Don’
t drink and drive.
•

Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
.
•

Control your speed.
•


Keep your vehicle in safe condition.
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you fr\
om paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead \
to a crash.
Remember

, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe
to divert some attention away from driving.
Your vehicle is not recommended for child passengers. The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that all children
ages 12 and under be properly restrained in a back seat. Since this vehi\
cle does
not have a back seat, we strongly recommend that you do not carry any ch\
ild who
is not large enough and mature enough to ride in front.

Carbon Monoxide Gas
The engine exhaust from this vehicle contains carbon monoxide, a colorle\
ss,
odorless, and highly toxic gas. As long as you properly maintain your ve\
hicle and
follow the instructions set forth below, you will not accumulate dangerous levels
of carbon monoxide gas in the vehicle interior.
Have the exhaust system inspected for leaks whenever:
•

The exhaust system is making an unusual noise.
•


The exhaust system may have been damaged.
•


The vehicle is raised for an oil change.
When you operate a vehicle with the hatch open, airflow can pull exhau\
st gas
into the interior and create a hazardous condition. If you must drive wi\
th the hatch
open, open all the windows and set the climate control system as shown b\
elow

.
1.

Select the fresh air mode.
2.


Select the mode.
3.

Set the fan speed to high.
4.


Set the temperature control to a comfortable setting.
Adjust the climate control system in the same manner if you sit in your \
p

arked
vehicle with the engine running.
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Breathing it can cause unconsciousness and\

even kill you.
Avoid any enclosed areas or activities that expose you to carbon monoxide\
.
WARNING
An enclosed area such as a garage can quickly fill up with carbon mono\
xide gas.
Do not run the engine with the garage door closed. Even when the garage \
door is
open, drive out of the garage immediately after starting the engine.
Seat Belts
A seat belt is your best protection in all types of collisions. Airbags \
are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. So even though your vehicle is \
equipped
with airbags, make sure you and your passengers always wear your seat belts and
wear them properly.
Lap/Shoulder Seat BeltsBoth seating positions are equipped with lap/shoulder seat belts with em\
ergency
locking retractors. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freel\
y while
keeping some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the\
retractor
locks to restrain your body.
The passenger’s seat belt has a lockable retractor that must be properly activated
when using a forward-facing child seat, should you choose to disregard o\
ur
recommendations and install one.
Both seats are equipped with automatic seat belt tensioners to enhance s\
afety.
The tensioners automatically tighten the seat belts during a moderate to\
severe
frontal collision, sometimes even if the collision is not severe enough \
to inflate the
front airbags.
Proper Use of Seat BeltsFollow these guidelines for proper use:
•

All occupants should sit upright, well back in the seat, and remain in t\
ha
t
position for the duration of the trip. Slouching and leaning reduce the \
effectiveness of the belt and can increase the chance of serious injury \
in a
crash.
•

Never place the shoulder part of a lap/shoulder seat belt under your arm\
or
behind your back. This could cause very serious injuries in a crash.
•


T
wo people should never use the same seat belt. If they do, they could be\
very
seriously injured in a crash.
•

Do not put any accessories on the seat belts. Devices intended to improv\
e
comfort or reposition the shoulder part of a seat belt can reduce the pr\
otective
capability and increase the chance of serious injury in a crash.
•


No one should sit in a seat with an inoperative seat belt or one that do\
es not

appear to be working correctly. Using a seat belt that is not working properly
may not protect the occupant in a crash. Have a dealer check the belt as\
soon
as possible.
Not wearing a seat belt properly increases the chance of a serious injur\
y or
death in a crash, even though your vehicle has airbags.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear seat belts and wear them
properly.

Airbags
Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags: front airbags, side\
airbags, and
side curtain airbags.
Front Airbags (SRS)
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collisio\
n to help
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or passenger. They are housed in the
center of the steering wheel for the driver, and in the dashboard for the passenger.
Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are des\
igned to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant’\
s primary
restraint system.
Advanced AirbagsYour front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood o\
f airbag-
related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver’s advanced front airbag system includes
a seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward,
the airbag inflates with less force, regardless of the
severity of the impact.
If there is a problem with the driver’s seat position
sensor, the SRS indicator will come on and the
airbag will inflate with full (normal) force, regardless
of the driver’s seating position.
The passenger’s advanced front airbag system
has weight sensors. Although Honda recommends
against carrying an infant or small child in the
passenger seat, if the sensors detect the weight
of a child (up to 65 lbs or 29 kg), the system will
automatically turn off the passenger’s front airbag.
For both advanced front airbags to work properly:
•

Do not spill any liquid on or under the seats.
•


Do not put any object under the passenger’
s seat.
•

Make sure any objects are positioned properly on the floor
. Improperly
positioned objects can interfere with the advanced airbag sensors.
•

All occupants should sit upright and wear their seat belts properly
.
•

Do not place any cover over any part of the passenger side dashboard.

Side AirbagsThe side airbags help protect the upper torso of the driver or a passeng\
er during
a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in the outside edge of\
the
driver’s and passenger’s seat-backs. Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG.
Side Curtain AirbagsSide curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passenger \
during a
moderate-to-severe side impact.
The side curtain airbags are located in the ceiling
above the side windows on both sides of the
vehicle.
The side curtain airbags are designed to deploy in a
moderate-to-severe side impact.
To get the best protection from the side curtain
airbags, occupants should wear their seat belts
properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or
roof pillars, as they can interfere with the proper
operation of the side curtain airbags.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe a\
ngled
frontal collision.
Airbag System IndicatorsIf a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and\
a
message appears in 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.
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.

Passenger Airbag Off indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you that the
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.
Your vehicle is not recommended for child passengers. Never put a rear-facing
child seat in this vehicle.
Objects placed on the seat can also cause the indicator to come on.
If the 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 passenger’\
s seat,
something may be interfering with the weight sensors, such as:
•

An object hanging on the seat or in the seat-back pocket.
•


An object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
•


The seat or seat-back is forced back against cargo on the rear trays or \
floor
behind it.
•


An object placed under the 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.
Side Airbag Off indicator
This indicator comes on if the passenger’s side
airbag has been turned off because the passenger
is too small to be sitting in the passenger’s seat, is
slouching or not sitting upright, or has leaned into
the airbag’s deployment path.

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 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, 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.
Important Facts About Your AirbagsAlways 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\
passenger
should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as possible.
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\
object 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 airbags 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 inflates\
.
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.
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.
WARNING
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.
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Honda recommends that you \
do not
carry a child, age 12 or under, as a passenger because:•

An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting i\
n the pas
senger’s
seat.
•

A child in the passenger’
s 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 \
ar
e
properly restrained in a rear seat. Because this vehicle does not have a\
rear
seat, we recommend that you do not carry a child age 12 or under in this\
vehicle.
•

Any child who is too small to wear a seat belt correctly must be restrai\
n
ed in an
approved child seat that is properly secured to the vehicle using either\
the lap
belt portion of the lap/shoulder belt.
In addition: •

Never hold a child on your lap because it is impossible to protect them \
in t
he
event of a collision.
•

Never put a seat belt over yourself and a child. During a crash, the bel\
t w
ould
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\
r
y
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 act

ivate
vehicle controls, causing it to move unexpectedly.
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.

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. Because rear-facing child seats should not be used in this
vehicle, you should never carry an infant in this vehicle.
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
Placing a rear-facing child seat in the passenger’s seat can result in serious
injury or death during a crash.
Never install a rear-facing child seat in this vehicle.
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.
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Honda recommends that you \
do not
carry a child, age 12 or under, as a passenger.
This is because placing a forward-facing child seat in the passenger’\
s seat can
be hazardous, even with advanced front airbags that automatically turn t\
he
passenger’s front airbag off.
If you choose to ignore our warnings and transport a small child in this\
vehicle,
be sure to move the passenger seat as far to the rear as possible, and f\
ollow the
instructions and guidelines in the following pages.
Placing a forward-facing child seat in the passenger’s seat can result in
serious injury or death if the front airbag inflates.
If you must place a forward-facing child seat in the passenger’s seat, move
the vehicle seat as far back as possible, and properly restrain the chil\
d.
WARNING
Selecting a Child Seat 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 V
ehicle Safety Standard 213 or
Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213.
Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
1.
Move the passenger seat to the rearmost
position.
2.


Place the child seat on the passenger seat.
3.


Route the seat belt through the child seat
according to the seat manufacturer’

s
instructions, and insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.
4.

Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the
way out until it stops. This activates the lockable
retractor

.
5.

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 4 – 5.
6.

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.
7.


Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by
rocking it forward and back and side to side; little
movement should be felt.
T

o deactivate a lockable retractor, release the
buckle and allow the seat belt to wind up all the
way.

Protecting Larger Children
Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, Honda recommends that you d\
o
not carry a child age 12 or under as a passenger. This is because children who
have outgrown child seats are also at risk of being injured or killed by\
an inflating
passenger’s front airbag. If a larger child must ride in this vehicle, the information
below provides guidelines to help you decide when a given child may ride in this
vehicle, and how to properly protect the child.
When a child is too big for a child seat, secure the child in the passen\
ger’s seat
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 the passenger’s 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.
Allowing a child age 12 or under to sit in the vehicle can result in inj\
ury 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.
