SAFETY
Ignoring the SrS indicator can result in serious injury or death if the
airbag systems or tensioners do not work properly.
Have your vehicle checked by an authorized Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid
dealer as soon as possible if the SrS indicator alerts you to a possible
problem.
WARNING
Passenger airbag off indicator
The indicator comes on to alert you
that the front passenger’s front airbag
has been turned off. This occurs
when the front passenger’s weight
sensors detect about 65 lbs (29 kg) or
less, the weight of an infant or small
child, on the seat.
Infants and small children should
always ride properly restrained in a
back seat.
U.S.
Canada
If the front passenger‘s seat is empty, the passenger’s front airbag will not deploy
and the indicator will come on.
To ensure the passenger is detected properly, check that:
• There is no child seat or other object pressing against the rear of the seat-back.
• There is no rear passenger pushing or pulling on the back of the front
passenger’s seat.
• The front seat or seat-back is not forced back against an object on the seat or
floor behind it.
• There is no object placed under or beside the front passenger’s seat.
• The occupant is sitting in an upright position and the seat back is not
excessively reclined.
• The occupant is not leaning against the door or center console.
• The occupant’s feet are placed on the floor in front of them.
• There are no objects hanging from the front passenger’s seat.
• only small, lightweight objects are in the seat-back pocket.
Note
: The passenger airbag off indicator may come on and go off repeatedly if the
total weight on the seat is near the airbag cutoff threshold.
• Have your vehicle checked by an authorized Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid
dealer as soon as possible if:
• All of the above conditions exist and the indicator comes on with an adult
riding there.
• The seat is empty and the indicator is off.
Do not allow a passenger over 70 lbs. ride in the front seat when the indicator is on.

1. Two SrS (Supplemental restraint System) front airbags. The driver’s
airbag is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger’s
airbag is stored in the dashboard. Both are marked
SRS AIRBAG
.
2. Driver’s knee airbag. The knee airbag is stored under the steering
column. It is marked
SRS AIRBAG
.
3. Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for a front passenger. The
airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seatbacks. Both are marked
SIDE AIRBAG
.
4. Two side curtain airbags, one for each side of the vehicle. The airbags
are stored in the ceiling, above the side windows. The front and rear
pillars are marked
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG
.
5. An electronic control unit that, when the vehicle is on, continually
monitors information about the various impact sensors, seat and
buckle sensors, rollover sensor, airbag activators, seat belt tensioners,
passenger airbag oFF indicator, and other vehicle information. During a
crash event, the unit can record such information.
6. Automatic front seat belt tensioners. In addition, the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belt buckles incorporate sensors that detect whether
or not the belts are fastened.
7. A driver’s seat position sensor. This sensor determines the optimal force
at which the airbag will deploy in a crash.
