Accessories and Modifications

Modifying your vehicle, or installing

some non-Honda accessories, can

make your vehicle unsafe. Before

you make any modifications or add

any accessories, be sure to read the

following information.

Accessories

Your dealer has genuine Honda

accessories that allow you to

personalize your vehicle. These

accessories have been designed and

approved for your vehicle, and are

covered by warranty.

Non-Honda accessories are usually

designed for universal applications.

Although aftermarket accessories

may fit on your vehicle, they may not

meet factory specifications, and

could adversely affect your vehicle's

handling and stability. (See

"Modifications" on page

159

for

additional information.)

When properly installed, cellular

phones, alarms, two-way radios, and

low-powered audio systems should

not interfere with your vehicle's

computer-controlled systems, such

as the SRS and anti-lock brake

system.

However, if electronic accessories

are improperly installed, or exceed

your vehicle's electrical system

capacity, they can interfere with the

operation of your vehicle, or even

cause the airbags to deploy.

Before installing any accessory:

Make sure the accessory does not

obscure any lights, or interfere

with proper vehicle operation or

performance.

Be sure electronic accessories do

not overload electrical circuits

(see page

284

).

Have the installer contact your

Honda dealer for assistance before

installing any electronic accessory.

If possible, have your dealer inspect

the final installation.

Before Driving

Improper accessories or

modifications can affect your

vehicle's handling, stability and

performance, and cause a

crash in which you can be hurt

or killed.

Follow all instructions in this

owner's manual regarding

accessories and modifications.
