HONDA 2004 Civic Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 34)

Together, airbags and
seat belts provide the best
protection.
This could make the front
passenger’s weight sensors
ineffective. Make sure the right
rear floor mat is hooked over the
floor mat anchor (see page
).
Tampering could cause
the airbags to deploy, possibly
causing very serious injury.
If water or another liquid
soaks into a seat-back, it can
prevent the side airbag cutoff
system from working properly.
This could make the
driver’s seat position sensor and
the front passenger’s weight
sensors ineffective.
Improperly
replacing or covering front seat-
back covers can prevent your side
airbags from inflating during a
side impact.
This could make the driver’s seat
position sensor and the front
passenger’s weight sensors
ineffective.
Pushing or
pulling on the back of the seat,
placing heavy items in the back
seat pocket, pushing cargo against
the seat, or hanging heavy items
on the seat back can interfere with
the proper operation of the
passenger’s advanced front airbag.
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 American
Honda at 800-999-1009.
