HONDA 2006 Civic Sedan - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 35)

Together, airbags and
seat belts provide the best
protection.
Tampering could cause
the airbags to deploy, possibly
causing very serious injury.
This could make the
driver’s seat position sensor or the
front passenger’s weight sensors
ineffective. If it is necessary to
remove or modify a front seat to
accommodate a person with
disabilities, first contact Honda
Automobile Customer Service at
(800) 999-1009.
Improperly replacing
or covering front seat-back covers
can prevent your side airbags from
inflating during a side impact.
If water or another liquid
soaks into a seat-back, it can
prevent the side airbag cutoff
system from working properly.
This will cause the
front passenger’s weight sensors
to work improperly. The system
may shut off the front passenger’s
airbag and the passenger airbag
off indicator will come on. The
seat belt reminder indicator for a
front seat passenger may also
work improperly.
Make sure that the folded-down
rear seat does not press the front
passenger’s seat-back. Check the
passenger airbag off indicator to
confirm that the passenger’s
advanced front airbag is operating
properly.
