When the passenger airbag gets
turned off by the weight sensors, a
‘‘passenger airbag off’’ indicator in
the center of the dashboard comes
on (see page

).

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

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.

If the weight sensors detect there is
no passenger in the front seat, the
airbag is automatically turned off.
However, the passenger airbag off
indicator in this situation will not
come on.

To ensure that the passenger’s
advanced front airbag system will
work properly,

This includes:

Moving the front seat or seat-back
forcibly back against the folded
rear seat.

Hanging heavy items on the front
passenger seat, or placing heavy
items in the seat-back pocket.

Moving the front seat or seat-back
forcibly back against cargo on the
seat or floor behind it.

A rear passenger pushing or
pulling on the back of the front
passenger’s seat.
