Additional Safety Precautions

Do not attempt to deactivate your
airbags. Together, airbags and
seat belts provide the best
protection.

Do not tamper with airbag
components or wiring for any
reason. Tampering could cause
the airbags to deploy, possibly
causing very serious injury.

Do not expose the front
passenger's seat-back to liquid. If
water or another liquid soaks into
the seat-back, it can prevent the
side airbag cutoff system from
working properly.

Do not cover or replace front seat-
back covers without consulting
your dealer. Improperly replacing
or covering front seat-back covers
can prevent your side airbags from
inflating during a side impact.

Do not remove or modify a front
seat without consulting your
dealer. This could make the
driver's seat position sensor or the
front passenger's weight sensors
ineffective. If it is necessary to
remove or modify a front seat to
accommodate a person with
disabilities, first contact Honda
Automobile Customer Service at
(800) 999-1009.
