Modifying Your Vehicle

Removing parts from your vehicle,
or replacing components with
aftermarket components could
seriously affect your vehicle's
handling, stability, and reliability.
Here are some examples:
Lowering the vehicle with an
aftermarket suspension kit that
significantly reduces ground
clearance can allow the
undercarriage to hit speed bumps
or other raised objects, which
could cause the airbags to deploy.
Raising your vehicle with an
aftermarket suspension kit can
affect the handling and stability.
Non-Honda wheels, because they
are a universal design, can cause
excessive stress on suspension
components.
Larger or smaller wheels and tires
can interfere with the operation of
your vehicle's anti-lock brakes and
other systems.
Modifying your steering wheel or
any other part of your vehicle's
safety features can make the
systems ineffective.
If you plan to modify your vehicle,
consult your dealer.

Additional Safety Precautions

the front airbag covers. Any object
attached to or placed on the covers
marked ''SRS AIRBAG'' in the
center of the steering wheel and
on top of the dashboard, could
interfere with the proper operation
of the airbags. Or, if the airbags
inflate, the objects could be
propelled inside the vehicle and
hurt someone.

seat-back. This could prevent the
airbag from inflating properly.
