Acura 2009 Accord Sedan - Manual (Page 39)

If the indicator comes on at any
other time, or does not come on at all,
you should have the system checked
by your dealer. For example:
This indicator alerts you that the
passenger’s side airbag has been
automatically shut off. It does
mean there is a problem with your
side airbags.
When you turn the ignition switch to
the ON (II) position, the indicator
should come on briefly and then go
out (see page
). If it doesn’t come
on, stays on, or comes on while
driving without a passenger in the
front seat, have the system checked.
You will also see a ‘‘PASSENGER
SIDE AIRBAG OFF’’ message on the
multi-information display.
If the SRS indicator does not come
on after you turn the ignition
switch to the ON (II) position or
on models with keyless access
system, press the engine start/
stop button to set ON mode (see
page
).
If you see any of these indications,
the airbags and seat belt tensioners
may not work properly when you
need them.
If the indicator stays on after the
engine starts.
If the indicator comes on or
flashes on and off while you drive.
You will also see a ‘‘CHECK
AIRBAG SYSTEM’’ message on the
multi-information display.

Ignoring the SRS indicator can
result in serious injury or death
if the airbag systems or
tensioners do not work properly.

dealer as soon as possible if
the SRS indicator alerts you to
a possible problem.
