Additional Information About Your Airbags

If the light comes on at any other

time, or does not come on at all, you

should have the system checked by

your dealer. For example:

If the SRS indicator light does not

come on after you turn the ignition

ON (II).

If the light stays on after the

engine starts.

If the light comes on or flashes on

and off while you drive.

If you see any of these indications,

your front or side airbags may not

deploy, your passenger's side airbag

automatic cutoff system may not

work properly, or your seat belt

tensioners may not work when you

need them. See your Honda dealer

as soon as possible.

How The Side Airbag Indicator

Light Works

This light alerts you that

the passenger's side airbag

has been automatically shut off.

To reduce the risk of injury from an

inflating side airbag, your car has an

automatic cutoff system for the

passenger's side airbag.

Although Honda does not encourage

children to ride in the front, this

system is designed to shut off the

side airbag if a child leans sideways

and the child's head is in the side

airbag deployment path.

Driver and Passenger Safety

SIDE

AIRBAG

Ignoring the SRS indicator light

can result in serious injury or

death if the airbags, cutoff

system, or tensioners do not

work properly.

Have your vehicle checked by a

dealer as soon as possible if

the SRS light alerts you to a

potential problem.
