General Precautions

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (If electrical maintenance is required)

The Civic SRS includes a driver's airbag located in the steering wheel hub. In addition, all models {except some models for Canada} have a passenger's airbag located in the dashboard above the glove box.

Servicing, disassembling or replacing items located near SRS components will require special precautions and tools, and should only be done by an authorized Honda dealer.

WARNING:
- To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal collision, all SRS service work must be performed by an authorized Honda dealer.
- Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal injury caused by unintentional deployment of the airbags.
- Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may fail in case of a collision, or the airbags may deploy when the ignition switch is ON (II).
- SRS electrical wiring harnesses are identified by yellow color coding. Related components are located in the steering column, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, and in the dashboard above the glove box. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.
