ECU HONDA PILOT 2006 1.G User Guide

Your vehicle has attachment points
for a tether-style child seat to be
installed on the second or third row
as shown.Each second row seat has a tether
anchorage point behind the seat-
back.
Since a tether can provide additional
security to the lap/shoulder belt
installation, we recommend using a
tether whenever one is required or
available.
Lift the head restraint, then route
the tether strap over the seat-back
between the legs of the head
restraint.

If you decide that a child can saf ely
ride up f ront, be sure to:Caref ully read the owner’s manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all saf ety
inf ormation.
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.
Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the f loor.
Check that the child’s seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.
Supervise the child. Even mature
children sometimes need to be
reminded to f asten the seat belts
or sit properly.
Of course, children vary widely. And
while age may be one indicator of
when a child can saf ely ride in f ront,
there are other important f actors you
should consider.
If the passenger’s front airbag
inf lates in a moderate to severe
f rontal collision, the airbag can cause
serious injuries to a child who is
unrestrained, improperly restrained,
sitting too close to the airbag, or out
of position.
A side airbag also poses risks. If any
part of a larger child’s body is in the
path of a deploying side airbag, the
child could receive possibly serious
injuries. The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children
age 12 and under be properly
restrained in a back seat. Physically, a child must be large
enough f or the lap/shoulder belt to
properly f it (see pages and ). If
the seat belt does not f it properly,
with or without the child sitting on a
booster seat, the child should not sit
in f ront.
To saf ely ride in f ront, a child must
be able to f ollow the rules, including
sitting properly, and wearing the seat
belt properly throughout a ride.16 53

The horn sounds and a combination
of headlights, parking lights, side

someone attempts to break into your
vehicle. This alarm continues for 2
minutes, then the system resets. To
reset an alarm system bef ore the 2
minutes have elapsed, unlock the
driver’s f ront door with the key or
the remote transmitter.Once the security system is set,
opening any door without using the
key or the remote transmitter, or the
hood, will cause it to alarm. It also
alarms if the radio is removed from
the dashboard or the wiring is cut.The security system will not set if
the hood, the tailgate, or any door is
not f ully closed. If the system will not
set, check the Door and Tailgate
Open Monitor on the instrument
panel (see page ) to see if the
doors and the tailgate are f ully
closed. Since it is not part of the
monitor display, manually check the
hood.
Do not attempt to alter this system

If you are training HomeLink to
operate a garage door or gate, you
should unplug the motor f or that
device during training. Repeatedly
pressing the remote control button
could burn out the motor.
HomeLink stores the code in a
permanent memory. There should
be no need to retrain HomeLink if
your vehicle’s battery goes dead or is
disconnected. The HomeLinkuniversal
transceiver built into your vehicle
canbeprogrammedtooperateupto
three remotely controlled devices
around your home, such as garage
doors, lighting, or home security
systems.
If your garage door opener was
manuf actured bef ore April 1982, you
may not be able to program
HomeLink to operate it. They do not have the safety feature that causes
the motor to stop and reverse if an
obstacle is detected during closing,
increasing the risk of injury.
Always ref er to the opening
instructions and saf ety inf ormation
that came with your garage door
opener or other equipment you
intend to operate with HomeLink. If
you do not have this inf ormation,
contact the manuf acturer of the
equipment.
For quick and accurate training,
make sure the remote control
transmitter for the device (garage
door, automatic gate, security
system, etc.) has a fresh battery.
If you just
received your vehicle and have not
trained any of the buttons in
HomeLink bef ore, you should erase
any previously learned codes bef ore
training the first button. To do this,
press and hold the two outside
buttons on the HomeLink
transceiver for about 20 seconds,
until the red indicator f lashes.
Release the buttons, then proceed to
step 1.
If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to step 1.
Unplug the garage door opener
motor f rom the electrical outlet.
Holdtheendof thegaragedoor
opener remote control 2 to 5
inches f rom HomeLink. Make
sure you are not blocking your
view of the red indicator in
HomeLink.
