Additional Information About Your Airbags
Airbag ServiceYour front and side airbag systems (if equipped) 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 a Honda dealer or a knowledgeable body
shop.
The SRS indicator light alerts you
to a problem. Take your car to an
authorized Honda 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 any
reason. 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 a
Honda dealer. Improperly
replacing or covering front seat-
back covers can prevent your side airbags from inflating during a
collision.
See page 187 for further information
and precautions relating to your
airbags.
