SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMThe Acura TL SRS includes a driver's airbag located in the steering wheel hub and a passenger's airbag located in the dashboard above
the glove box. Information necessary to safely service the SRS is included in this Service Manual. Items marked with an asterisk (*) on
the contents page include, or are located near, SRS components. Servicing, disassembling or replacing these items will require special
precautions and tools, and should therefore be done by an authorized Honda dealer.
WARNING

To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal
collision, all SRS service work must be performed by an authorized Honda dealer.

Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal injury
caused by unintentional activation of the front airbags, seat belt tensioners, and side airbags ('99-01 models).

Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may fail in a collision, or the airbags may deploy when the ignition
switch in ON (II).

All SRS electrical wiring harnesses are covered with yellow insulation. Related components are located in the steering
column, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, in the dashboard above the glove box. Do not use electrical
test equipment on these circuits.
NOTE: The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before
± disconnecting the battery.
± removing the No. 39 (10A) fuse from the under±hood fuse/relay box.
± removing the radio.
After service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word ºCODEº is displayed, enter the customer's 5-digit code to restore
radio operation.
