Accessories And Modifications - Honda RDX Owner's Manual

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.

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 your airbags, anti-lock brakes, and
tire pressure monitoring system.
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 469) or interfere with proper
operation of your vehicle.
Before installing any electronic
●
accessory, have the installer
contact your dealer for assistance.
If possible, have your dealer
inspect the final installation.
Do not install accessories on the
●
side pillars or across the rear
windows. Accessories installed in
these areas may interfere with
proper operation of the side
curtain airbags.
Accessories and Modifications
Modifying Your Vehicle
Removing parts from your vehicle, or
replacing components with non-
Acura components could seriously
affect your vehicle's handling,
stability, and reliability.
Here are some examples:
Lowering the vehicle with a non-
●
Acura 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 a non-
●
Acura suspension kit can affect the
handling, stability, and reliability.
