Advanced Airbags

Your front airbags are also advanced
airbags. The main purpose of this
feature is to help prevent airbag-
caused injuries to short drivers and
children or small statued adults who
ride in front.

For both advanced airbags to work
properly:

Occupants must sit upright and
wear their seat belts properly.

Do not spill any liquids on or
under the seats, cover the sensors,
or put any objects or metal items
under the front seats.

Failure to follow these instructions
could damage the sensors or prevent
them from working properly.

The driver's advanced front airbag
system includes a seat position
sensor under the seat. If the seat is
too far forward, the airbag will inflate
with less force, regardless of the
severity of the impact.

If there is a problem with the sensor,
the SRS indicator will come on, and
the airbag will inflate in the normal
manner regardless of the driver's
seating position.

The passenger's advanced front
airbag system has weight sensors
under the seat. Although Honda does
not encourage carrying an infant or
small child in front, if the sensors
detect the weight of an infant or
small child (up to about 65 lbs or 29
kg), the system will automatically
turn the passenger's front airbag off.

Be aware that objects placed on the
passenger's seat can also cause the
airbag to be turned off.
