Additional Information About Your Airbags
Airbag ServiceYour front and side airbag systems 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 an Acura dealer or a knowledgeable body
shop.
• The SRS indicator light alerts you
to a problem. Take your car to anauthorized Acura 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 anyreason. 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 an
Acura dealer. Improperlyreplacing or covering front seat-
back covers can prevent your side airbags from inflating during a
collision.
See page 154 for further information
and precautions relating to your
airbags.
