. For hatch glass button operation, hold the button for more than two seconds.
. lf you press the PANIC button for more than two seconds, the horn sounds for about 30 seconds, and the transmitter
LED comes on. (The panic mode will not be activated if the ignition key is in the ignition switch.) The panic mode is
cancelled by pressing any of the transmitter buftons.
. The horn sounds only the first time you press a transmitter button, (Pressing repeatedly does not activate the horn

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
FRONT PASSENGER'SAIREAGDRIVER'S AIRBAG
FRONT PASSENGER'SSEAT BELT TENSIONER{'98 - 00 modelsl
)
SRS UNITDRIVER'S SEAT BELTTENSIONER l'98 - 0O modeb)
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).

)Steering-related Precautions
Stooring Wh€el and Csble Re6l Alignm€nt
To avoid misalignment of the steering wheel on
reassembly, make sure the wheels are turned straight
ahead beJore removing the steering wheel.
To center the cable reel, rotate the cable reel clockwise
until it stops, Then rotate it counterclockwise (approxi-
mately two and a half turns) until the arrow mark on the
cable reel label points straight up.
Steering Column Bemoval
CAUTION: Before removing the stosring column, tirsi
disconneqt tha connsctor between tho cabls roel and
the SRS main harness.
lf the steering column is going to be removed without
dismounting the steering wheel, lock the sieering by
turning the ignition key to o-LOCK position, or remove
the key trom the ignition so that the steering wheel will
not turn.
LABEL
NOTE:
. When the airbag and cable r6el are disconnected, and
the battery is reconnected and the ignition switch is
turned ON (ll), the SRS unit will store this as an open
in the driver's airbag inflator, and the SRS indicator
light will come on, In such a case, make sure to con-
firm the DTC, then clear the SRS unit memory.
. For disconnecting the spring-loaded lock type con-
nector, refer to page 24-22.

Do not replace the original steering wheel with any other
design because it will make it impossible to properly
install the airbag (use only genuine Honda replacement
partsl.
After reassemblv, confirm the wheels are still turned
straight ahead and that the steering wheel spoke angle
is correct. lf minor spoke angle adjustment is necessary,
do so only by adjusting the tie-rods, not by removing
and repositioning the steering whee .
