SAFETY
Seat Belt with Detachable Anchor
The seat belt for the second-row and third-row center seat is located in the
ceiling.
1. Pull out the seat belt's small latch plate and
the latch plate from each holding slot in the
ceiling.
2. Line up the triangle marks on the small latch plate
and anchor buckle. Make sure the seat belt is not
twisted. Attach the belt to the anchor buckle.
3. Insert the latch plate into the buckle. Properly
fasten the seat belt the same way you fasten
the lap/shoulder seat belt.
To unlatch the detachable anchor, insert a key
into the slot on the side of the anchor buckle.
For the second-row center seat, pivot the
anchor buckle forward before unlatching the
anchor.
WARNING
Using the seat belt with the detachable anchor unlatched increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Before using the seat belt, make sure the detachable anchor is correctly
latched.

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 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.
Advanced Airbags
Your front airbags have advanced features to help reduce the likelihood of 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 front, 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.
