HONDA 2012 CR-Z - Technology Reference Guide - Manual (Page 16)

SAFETY REMINDER
Your vehicle is equipped with airbags. Airbags do not replace seat belts; they add to
the protection offered by seat belts. Airbags can help protect you in some types of
collisions, but they do not provide protection in all collisions.
Always make sure you and your passenger wear seat belts.
Never carry an infant in a rear-facing child seat in this vehicle; a deploying airbag
could seriously injure or kill them.
Further, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport
Canada both recommend that all children age 12 and under be properly restrained in
a back seat. Since this vehicle does not have a back seat, we strongly recommend that
you do not carry a child aged 12 or under in this vehicle.
Honda further recommends that you do not carry any child who is not large enough
or mature enough to ride in the front passenger seat for the following reasons:
• An inflating front or side airbag can injure or kill a child sitting in the front
passenger seat.
• A child in the passenger seat is more likely to interfere with the driver’s ability to
safely control the vehicle.
FUEL RECOMMENDATION
• Only use unleaded gasoline of 87 octane or higher.
• Some gasoline in North America contains manganese-based fuel additives. Prolonged
and consistent use of gasoline containing such additives can deteriorate your
vehicle’s performance, fuel economy, and the emissions control system. Always use
gasoline without such additives if available. Failures caused by use of gasoline
containing such additives may not be covered under warranty.
• For further important information on fuel and lubricants for your vehicle and
information on gasoline that works best for your vehicle, contact your dealer or
