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 a 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 te nsioner has been activated, it must be 
replaced.
■When the vehicl e has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have your 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 consulting a dealer
This would likely disable or affect the prop er 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 pe rson with disabilities, contact a Honda 
dealer, or for U.S. vehicles, American Honda Automobile Customer Service at 
1-800-999-1009 and for Canadian vehicles , Honda Canada Customer Relations at 
1-888-9-HONDA-9.
