Airbags - Honda CR-V 2017 Owner's Manual

SAFETY

Airbags

Your vehicle is equipped with three types of airbags: front airbags, side airbags, and side
curtain airbags.
Front Airbags (SRS)
n
The front SRS airbags inflate in a moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help
protect the head and chest of the driver and/or front passenger. They are housed
in the center of the steering wheel for the driver, and in the dashboard for the front
passenger. Both airbags are marked SRS AIRBAG.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) indicates that the airbags are designed to
supplement seat belts, not replace them. Seat belts are the occupant's primary
restraint system.
Your front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of airbag-
related injuries to smaller occupants.
The driver's front airbag system includes a seat
position sensor. If there is a problem with the driver's
seat position sensor, the SRS indicator will come on.
The passenger's front airbag system has weight
sensors.
We advise against allowing a child under the age
of 12 to ride in the front passenger's seat. However,
if you do allow a child under 12 to ride in the
front passenger's seat, note that the system will
automatically turn off the front passenger's airbag if
the sensors detect that the child is approximately 65
lbs (29kg) or less.
For the 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 cover the passenger's side dashboard with a cloth, towel, cover, etc.
• Make sure the floor mat behind the front passenger's seat is hooked to the floor mat
anchor. An improperly placed mat can interfere with the airbag sensors.

Side Airbags
The side airbags help protect the upper torso and pelvis of the driver or a front
passenger during a moderate-to-severe side impact. They are housed in the outside
edge of the driver's and front passenger's seat-backs. Both are marked SIDE
AIRBAG.
Side Curtain Airbags
Side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers in outer
seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact. The side curtain airbags
equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help reduce the likelihood of partial
and complete ejection of vehicle occupants through side windows in crashes,
particularly rollover crashes.
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
rollover or moderate-to-severe side impact. If the SRS
control unit senses that your vehicle is about to roll
over, it immediately deploys both side curtain airbags
and activates both front seat belt tensioners. If the
impact is on the passenger's side, the passenger's
side curtain airbag will inflate even if there are no
occupants on that side of the vehicle.
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 angled frontal
collision. In this case, the side curtain airbags will deploy slightly after the front
airbags.
