The driver and front passenger should be aware that if they are not properly fastened with their seat belts, they could be seriously injured, possibly even killed, if the air bag deploys. If the vehicle brakes suddenly before a collision, the driver or front passenger who is not properly fastened with their seat belts could be thrown forward close to the air bag, which could deploy during a collision. For maximum protection during a crash, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should be properly fastened with their seat belts.
Infants and children who are not properly seated or restrained can be killed or seriously injured if the air bags inflate.
Children who are too young to use seat belts should be properly restrained in a child restraint system. Honda strongly recommends that all children be seated in the rear seat of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seat is the safest place for children.
Never install a child seat in a rear-facing front passenger seat that has an airbag. The force of the passenger airbag deployment could force the child seat against the seatback, causing serious injury.
If circumstances require you to install a child seat in the front seat, move the front seat as far back as possible and install the child seat rear-facing.
Do not allow your child to stand or kneel in the front seat. The airbag deploys with considerable speed and force; may be seriously injured; do not hold the child on your lap or in your arms.
Do not sit on the edge of the seat or lean over the instrument panel while the vehicle is moving.
Do not place objects or your pets on or in front of the instrument panel or steering wheel pads where the air bags are located. They may prevent the air bags from deploying or cause serious injury or death as they are thrown backwards when the air bags deploy. Furthermore, the driver and front passenger should not hold objects in their hands or on their laps.

Do not modify, remove, strike or open any components such as the steering wheel pad, steering wheel, steering column cover, front passenger air bag cover or air bag sensor assembly. Such actions may cause the air bag to deploy unexpectedly or cause the SRS system to malfunction.
Do not lean on the front door while the vehicle is moving, as the side airbags inflate with great speed and force. This could cause serious injury or death.
Do not attach any objects to or near the vehicle door. If the side airbag deploys, the object may fly off and cause injury or prevent the airbag from working properly.
Use only genuine Honda seat covers. Using non-genuine covers may cause the side airbags to operate incorrectly or prevent them from deploying.
