Protecting Children  
1.The child restraint system should  
meet safety standards. In most  
countries, child restraint systems  
must meet the specifications of  
the ECE 44 regulation. Look for  
the approval mark on the system  
and the manufacturer’s statement  
of compliance on the boxes.  
2.The child restraint system should  
be of the proper type and size to fit  
the child.  
Make sure the restraint system fits  
your child. Check the manufacturer’s  
instructions and labels for height and  
weight limits.  
The manufacturer of the vehicle  
does not assume any responsibility  
for damage which would be caused  
by a defect inherent in the recom-  
mended child restraint system.  
Infants: Children up to about one  
year old should be restrained in a  
rearward facing, reclining child  
restraint system. Only a rearward  
facing child restraint system  
provides the proper support to  
protect an infant’s head, neck, and  
back. See page 39 for additional  
information on protecting infants.

3.The child restraint system should  
fit the vehicle seating position (or  
positions) where it will be used.  
Before purchasing a child restraint  
system, we recommend that parents  
test the child restraint system in the  
specific vehicle seating position (or  
positions) where they intend to use

child restraint systems, vehicle seats, the restraint system. If a previously

purchased child restraint system  
does not fit, you may need to buy a  
different one that will fit.  
However, Honda is confident that  
one or more child restraint system  
model can fit and be properly  
installed in all recommended seating  
positions in your vehicle.  
For EU countries, refer to page  
37 for the recommended child  
restraint system.  
Small Children: A child who is too  
large for a rearward facing child  
restraint system, and who can sit up  
without support, should be  
restrained in a front facing child  
restraint system. See page 47 for  
additional information on protecting  
small children.

Protecting Children  
Placing a Child Restraint System  
This page briefly summarizes  
Honda’s recommendations on where  
to place rearward and front facing  
child restraint systems in your  
vehicle.  
Front Passenger’s Seat  
Infants: Never in the front seat, due  
to the front airbag hazard.  
Small children: Not recommended,  
due to the front airbag hazard. If a  
small child must ride in front,  
move the vehicle seat to the rear-  
most position and secure a front  
facing child restraint system with  
the seat belt (see page 47 ).  
Airbags Pose Serious  
Risks to Children  
(For some types)  
The passenger’s front airbag  
inflates with enough force to kill  
or seriously injure an infant in a  
rearward facing child restraint  
system.  
Back Seats  
Infants: Recommended positions.  
Properly secure a rearward facing  
child restraint system (see pages  
39 and 62 ).  
A small child in a front facing  
child restraint system is also at  
risk. If the vehicle seat is too far  
forward, or the child’s head is  
thrown forward during a  
collision, an inflating front  
airbag can kill or seriously  
injure the child.  
Small children: Recommended  
positions. Properly secure a front  
facing child restraint system (see  
pages 47 and 62 ).  
For EU countries, refer to page  
37 for placing a child restraint  
system.  
If a small child must ride in the  
front, follow the instructions  
provided in this section.

Protecting Children  
Installing a Child Restraint System  
After selecting a proper child  
restraint system, and a good position  
to install the restraint system, there  
are three main steps in installing the  
restraint system:  
1.Properly secure the child restraint  
system to the vehicle. All child  
restraint systems are designed to  
be secured to the vehicle with the  
lap belt or the lap part of a lap/  
shoulder belt. On some models,  
some child restraint systems can  
be secured to the vehicle’s lower  
anchorages instead. Follow the  
system manufacturer’s  
See pages 41 and 48 for instructions  
on how to secure child restraint  
systems in this vehicle.  
For some types  
See page 62 for instructions on how  
to properly secure child restraint  
systems with lower anchorages in  
this vehicle.  
instructions. A restraint system  
which is not properly secured to  
the vehicle can endanger the life  
of the child, and other occupants  
in a crash.  
If you use a lap/shoulder belt  
without an additional lockable  
retractor, be sure you install a  
locking clip on the seat belt (see  
page 53 ).

Protecting Children  
2.Make sure the child restraint  
system is firmly secured. After  
installing a child restraint system,  
push and pull the restraint system  
forward and from side-to-side to  
verify that it is secure.  
If the child restraint system is not  
secure, try installing it in a different  
seating position, or use a different  
style of child restraint system that  
can be firmly secured in the desired  
seating position.  
Storing a Child Restraint System  
When you are not using a child  
restraint system, either remove it  
and store it in a safe place, or make  
sure it is properly secured. An  
unsecured child restraint system can  
be thrown around the vehicle during  
a crash or sudden stop and injure  
someone.  
To provide security during normal  
driving manoeuvres as well as during  
a collision, we recommend that  
parents secure a child restraint  
system as firmly as possible.  
For EU countries, refer to page  
37 for the recommended child  
restraint system.  
3.Secure the child in the child  
restraint system. Make sure the  
child is properly strapped in the  
child restraint system according to  
the child restraint system maker’s  
instructions. A child who is not  
properly secured in a child  
restraint system can be thrown out  
of the restraint system in a crash  
and seriously injured.  
However, a child restraint system  
does not need to be ‘‘rock solid.’’ In  
some vehicles or seating positions, it  
may be difficult to install a child  
restraint system so that it does not  
move at all. Some side-to-side or  
back-and-forth movement can be  
expected and should not reduce the  
child restraint system’s effectiveness.
