Accessories and Modifications

Modifying your car, or installing

some non-Honda accessories, can

make your car unsafe. Before you

make any modifications or add any

accessories, be sure to read the

following information.

Accessories

Your dealer has Genuine Honda

accessories that allow you to

personalize your car. These

accessories have been designed and

approved for your car, and are

covered by warranty.

Non-Honda accessories are usually

designed for universal applications.

Although aftermarket accessories

may fit on your car, they may not

meet factory specifications, and

could adversely affect your car's

handling and stability. (See

"Modifications" on the page

108

for

additional information.)

When properly installed, cellular

phones, alarms, two-way radios, and

low-powered audio systems should

not interfere with your car's

computer-controlled systems, such

as the SRS.

However, if electronic accessories

are improperly installed, or exceed

your car's electrical system capacity,

they can interfere with the operation

of your car, or even cause the

airbags to deploy.

Before installing any accessory:

Make sure the accessory does not

obscure any lights, or interfere

with proper car operation or

performance.

Be sure electronic accessories do

not overload electrical circuits

(see page

20

5

).

Have the installer contact your

Honda dealer for assistance before

installing any electronic accessory.

If possible, have your dealer inspect

the final installation.

Before Driving

Improper accessories or

modifications can affect your

car's handling, stability and

performance, and cause a

crash in which you can be hurt

or killed.

Follow all instructions in this

owner's manual regarding

accessories and modifications.
