HONDA 2008 S2000 - Manual (Page 27)

If there is a problem with the sensor,
the SRS indicator will come on, and
the airbag will inflate in the normal
manner regardless of the driver’s
seating position.
Your airbags are also advanced
airbags. The main purpose of this
feature is to help prevent airbag-
caused injuries to short drivers and
children who ride in the passenger’s
seat.
For both advanced airbags to work
properly:
Occupants must sit upright and
wear their seat belts properly.
Failure to follow these instructions
could damage the sensors or prevent
them from working properly.
Do not spill any liquids on or
under the seats, cover the sensors,
or put any objects or metal items
under the seats.
The driver’s advanced front airbag
system includes a seat position
sensor under the seat. If the seat is
too far forward, the airbag will
inflate with less force, regardless of
the severity of the impact.
Be aware that objects placed on the
passenger’s seat can also cause the
airbag to be turned off.
The passenger’s advanced airbag
system has weight sensors under the
seat. Although Honda does not
encourage carrying a child in the
passenger’s seat, if the sensors
detect the weight of an infant or
small child (up to about 65 lbs or 29
kg), the system will automatically
turn the passenger’s airbag off.
