Additional Information About Your Airbags

Airbag Service

Your front and side airbag systems

(if equipped) are virtually

maintenance-free, and there are

no parts you can safely service.

However, you must have your car

serviced if:

Your airbags ever inflate.

Any

airbag that has deployed must be

replaced along with the control

unit and other related parts. Do

not try to remove or replace any

airbag by yourself.

This must be done by a Honda

dealer or a knowledgeable body

shop.

The SRS indicator light alerts you

to a problem. Take your car to an

authorized Honda dealer as soon

as possible. If you ignore this

indication, the airbags might not

inflate when you need them.

Additional Safety Precautions

Do not attempt to deactivate your

airbags. Together, airbags and

seat belts provide the best

protection.

Do not tamper with airbag

components or wiring for any

reason. Tampering could cause

the airbags to deploy, possibly

causing very serious injury.

Do not expose the front seat-backs

to water. If rain or spilled water

soaks into a seat-back, it can

prevent the side airbag system

from working properly.

Do not cover or replace front seat-

back covers without consulting a

Honda dealer. Improperly

replacing or covering front seat-

back covers can prevent your side

airbags from inflating during a

collision.
