Some examples are:

Larger or smaller wheels and tires
can interfere with the operation of
your vehicle’s anti-lock brakes and
other systems.

Any object

attached to or placed on the covers
marked ‘‘SRS AIRBAG’’ in the
center of the steering wheel and
on top the dashboard, and front
seat back could interfere with the
proper operation of the airbags. Or,
if the airbags inflate, the objects
could be propelled inside the
vehicle and hurt someone.

If a side airbag

inflates, a cup holder or other hard
object attached on or near the
door could be propelled inside the
vehicle and hurt someone.

This could prevent the

airbag from inflating properly.

Modifying your steering wheel or
any other part of your vehicle’s
safety features can make the
systems ineffective.

If you plan to modify your vehicle,
consult your dealer.

Removing parts from your vehicle,
or replacing components with
non-Honda components could
seriously affect your vehicle’s
handling, stability, and reliability.

Lowering the vehicle with a non-
Honda suspension kit that
significantly reduces ground
clearance can allow the
undercarriage to hit speed bumps
or other raised objects, which
could cause the airbags to deploy.

Raising your vehicle with a
non-Honda suspension kit can
affect the handling and stability.

Non-Honda wheels, because they
are a universal design, can cause
excessive stress on suspension
components.

Additional Saf ety Precautions

Do not attach or place objects on
the airbag covers.

Do not attach hard objects on or
near a f ront door.

Do not place any objects over or
replace the outside edge of a f ront
seat-back.
