SAFETY
n
Side Curtain Airbags
Side curtain airbags help protect the heads of the driver and passengers
in the outer seating positions during a moderate-to-severe side impact.
The side curtain airbags equipped in this vehicle are also designed to help
reduce the likelihood of partial and complete ejection of vehicle occupants
through side windows in crashes, particularly rollover crashes.
The side curtain airbags are located
in the ceiling above the side windows
on both sides of the vehicle.

Deployed side curtain airbag
The side curtain airbags are designed
to deploy in a rollover or moderate-
to-severe side impact. If the SRS
control unit senses that your vehicle
is about to roll over, it immediately
deploys both side curtain airbags
and activates both front seat belt
tensioners. If the impact is on the
passenger’s side, the passenger’s
side curtain airbag deploys even if
there are no occupants on that side of
the vehicle.
To get the best protection from the side curtain airbags, occupants should
wear their seat belts properly and sit upright and well back in their seats.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars, as they can
interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
When side curtain airbags deploy in a frontal collision
One or both side curtain airbags may inflate in a moderate-to-severe angled
frontal collision.

Driver’s Knee Airbag
The driver’s knee SRS airbag inflates with the driver’s front airbag in a
moderate-to-severe frontal collision to help keep the driver in the proper
position and to help maximize the benefit provided by the vehicle’s other
safety features.

Important Facts About Your Airbags
Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as far back from
the steering wheel as possible while allowing full control of the vehicle. A
front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as
possible.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap or driving with a pipe or other
sharp object in your mouth, can result in injuries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front airbag covers.
Objects on the
covers marked
SRS AIRBAG
could interfere with the proper operation of the
airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the airbags
inflate.
Do not attach accessories on or near the side airbags.
They can interfere
with the proper operation of the airbags, or hurt someone if an airbag
inflates.
Do not attach any objects to the side windows or roof pillars.
They can
interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Do not cover or replace the front seat-back covers.
This can prevent your
side airbags from properly deploying during a side impact.

Airbag System Indicators
If a problem occurs in the airbag system, the SRS indicator comes on and a
message appears on the driver information interface.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
indicator
If the indicator comes on at any other
time besides vehicle start-up or does
not come on at all, have the system
checked by an authorized Honda
Clarity Electric dealer as soon as
possible. If you don’t, your airbags
and seat belt tensioners may not work
properly when they are needed.
An open glove box can cause serious injury to your passenger in a crash,
even if the passenger is wearing the seat belt.
Always keep the glove box closed while driving.
