Adjustment
Bstore adiusting the headlights:
. Park the vehicle on level ground
. Make sure the fuel tank is tull
. The driver or someone who weighs the same should
sit in the driver's seat.
. Load the trunk with the items you usually carry'
. Push down on the front and rear bumpers several
times to make sure the vehicle is sitting normally'
CAUTION: Halogen headlights become very hot in use;
do not touch them or the atiaching hardware immedi-
ately after they have been turned off.
1. ODen the hood.
2. Remove the left inner fender {see section 20).
3. Checkthe horizontal adjustment indicator.
The "0" mark on the horizontal indicator gear should
be aligned with the mark.
"0" MARK
Check the vertical adjustment indicator. The bubble
should be centered underneath the longest scribe
mark on the gauge.

5.lf either indicator is not aligned with its "0" mark as
described left column, an adjustment can be made
by using a Phillips screwdriver.
Adjust the headlights to local requirements by turn-
ing the adjusters.
NOTE:
. As the outer lenses are made of an acrylicoated,
polycarbonated material, do not cover the head-
lights when they are turned on
. When making horizontal adiustments, slide the
horizontal indicator gear rearward.
After horizontal adjustment, put back the hori-
zontal indicator gear.

Description
J)
The SRS is a safety device which, when used in conjunction with the seat belt, is designed to help protect the driver and
front passenger in a frontal impact exceeding a certain set limit. The system consists of the SRS unit (including safing sen-
sor and impact sensor), the cable reel, the driver's airbag and front passenger's airbag.
Seat Bolt Tensioner {'98 - 00 models}
The seat belt tensioner is linked with the SRS airbags to further increase the effectiveness of the seat belt. In a front-end
collision, the tensioner instantly retracts the belt firmly to secure the occupants in their seats

Operation
The main circuit in the SRS unit senses and judges the force of impact and, if necessary, ignites the intlator charges. lf bat
tery voltage is too low or power is disconnected due to the impact, the voltage regulator and the back-up power circuit
respectively will keep voltage at a constant level.
For the SRS to operate:
(1) The impact sensor must activate, and send electric signals to the microprocessor.
(2) The microprocessor must compute the signals, and send them to the airbag inflators (and seat belt tensioners).
(3) The inflators must ignite and deploy the airbags (and activate the tensioners).
Selt-diagnosis System
A self-diagnosis circuit is built into the SRS uniU when the ignition switch is turned ON (ll), the SRS indicator Iight comes
on and goes off after about six seconds if the system is operating normally.
lf the light does not come on, does not go off after six seconds, or it comes on while driving, it indicates an abnormality in
the system. The system must be inspected and repaired as soon as possible.
For battery serviceability, the memory will store the cause of the malfunction, and the data link circuit passes on the infor
mation from the memory to the data link connector (DLC). This information can be read with the Honda PGM Tester con-
nected to the DLC {16P).

Troubleshooting
The SRS Indicator Light Doesnt Go Off - ,99 - 00 models
CAUTION: Whenever the ignition switch is ON {lll, orhas been turnod OFF for less than three minutes, becareful not to bump the SRS unit; the airbags couldaccidentally deploy and cause damage or iniuries.
T.y to reproduce the SRS indicator tight:1. Erase the DTC memory (see page 24-28).2. Turn the ignition switch ON { }, and check that the SRSindicator light comes on for about six seconds and thengoes off.
Does the SRS indicator tight stey on?
NOYES
Intermittent failure, system b OK at this time. 56€ Trouble-shooting Inle.mittent Failures on page 24-2g.
Check the No. 23 (10 Alfuse:1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.2. Check for blown No. 23 flO A) fuse in the under dashluse/relay box.
ls the fuse OK?
YESNO
Repl.ce the tuse, and erase the memory1. Beplace the No. 23 (10 Ai fuse.2. Erase the DTC memory (see page 24-28).3. Turn the ignition switch ON flt).Does the SRS indicator light go ott after six secondt

Airbag/Seat Belt Tensioner
)Disposal
)
Before scrapping any airbags {and seat belt tansioners)
(including those in a whole vehicle to be scrappedl. the
airbags (and seat belt tensioners) must be deployed. lf
the vehicle is still within the warrantv oeriod the Honda
District Service Manager must give approval and/or spe-
cial instructions, before you deploy the airbags (and seat
belt tensioners). Only after the airbags {and seat belt ten-
sioners) have been deployed (as the result of vehicle col-
lision, for example), can they be scrapped.
lf the airbags (and seat belt tensioners) appear intact
(not deployed), treat them with extreme caution.
Follow this procedure:
Doploying tho Airbags (and Soat B6li Ten3ione6):
ln-vehicle
lf an SRS vehicle is to be entirely scrapped, its airbags(and seat belt tensioners) should be deployed while still
in the vehicle. The airbags (and seat belt tensioners)
should not be considered as salvageable parts and
should never be installed in another vehicle.
@ confirm that each airbag {and seat belt
tonsiongr) i3 ggcurely mountod; othgrwise, severe per-
sonal iniury could result from d6ploym6nt,
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable, then discon-
nect the oositive cable.
Confirm that the special tool is functioning properly
by following the check procedure on the tool label
or on page 24-98.
Remove the access panel, then disconnect the 2P
connector between the driver's airbag and the cable
reel (see page 24-23).
Remove the glove box, then disconnect the 2P con-
nector between the front passenger's airbag and
SRS main harness (see page 24-23).
Remove the center pillar lower trim panel, then dis-
connect the 2P connector between the seat belt ten-
sioner and side wire harness ('98 - 00 models) (see
page 24-231.
6. Cut off the airbag (and seat belt tensioner) connectors.
Strip the ends of the airbag (and seat belt tensioner)
wires. and connect the deployment tool alligator clips
to the airbag (and seat belt tensioner). Place the
deployment tool at least thirty feet (10 meters) away
from the airbao (and seat belt tensioner),
