you don’t, your airbags and seat belt tens ioners may not work properly when they

Airbag Care
You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Honda Clarity El ectric dealer in the following situations:
■When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, th e control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
■When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have yo ur authorized Honda Clarity Electric dealer
inspect the following: the driver’s seat position sensor, weight sensors in the
passenger’s seat, front seat belt tensioners , and each seat belt that was worn during
the crash.
■Do not remove or modify a front seat without cons ulting an authorized
Honda Clarity Electric dealer
This would likely disable or affect the proper operation of the driver’s seat position
sensor or the weight sensors in the passenger ’s seat. If it is necessary to remove or
modify a front seat to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact an
authorized Honda Clarity El ectric dealer, or American Honda Automobile Customer
Service at 1-800-999-1009.
1 Airbag Care
We recommend against the use of salvaged airbag
system components, including the airbag, tensioners,
sensors, and control unit.
