System Service
Your supplemental restraint system is virtually maintenance free. There
are no parts you can safely service.
You must have the system serviced by an authorized Honda dealer:
If your airbag ever inflates.
The bag must be replaced. Do not try
to remove or discard the airbag by yourself. This must be done by a
Honda dealer.
If the SRS indicator light alerts you of a problem.
Have the
supplemental restraint system checked as soon as possible.
Otherwise, your airbag might not inflate when you need it.
When the car is 10 years old.
Get the system inspected. The
production date is on the left rear doorjamb for your convenience.
System Service Precautions
Do not modify your steering wheel or any other part of the supplemental
restraint system. Modifications could make the system ineffective.
Do not tamper with the system components or wiring. This could cause
the airbag to inflate inadvertently, possibly injuring someone very
seriously.
Tell anyone who works on your car that you have a supplemental restraint
system. Failure to follow the procedures and precautions in the official
Honda service manual could result in personal injury or damage to the
system.
Scrapping an entire car that has an uninflated airbag can be dangerous.
Get assistance from a Honda dealer if your car must be scrapped.
If you sell your car, please be sure to tell the new owner that the car has
a supplemental restraint system. Alert them to the information and
precautions in this part of the Owner's Manual.
