Airbag Works - Honda 1997 Accord Wagon Owner's Manual

How the Passenger's

Airbag Works

If you ever have a severe frontal
collision, the passenger's airbag
will inflate at the same time as the
driver's airbag.
Driver and Passenger Safety
This airbag is quite large and
inflates with considerable force.
It can seriously hurt a front seat
passenger who is not in the proper
position and wearing the seat
belt properly.
Front seat passengers should move
the seat as far back as practical
and sit well back in the seat.
We strongly recommend that you
do not put an infant seat in the
front passenger's seat. If the
airbag inflates, it can hit the infant
seat with great force. The infant
seat can be dislodged or struck
with enough force to cause very
serious injury to the infant.
If a toddler seat is used in the
front passenger's seat, the vehicle
seat should be moved as far back
as possible. If the passenger's bag
inflates, it could seriously hurt a
toddler who is not in the proper
position or properly restrained.
The passenger's airbag is stored
near the top of the dashboard,
under a lid marked SRS. Do not
place any objects on top of this
lid. If the airbag inflates, those
objects can be propelled inside the
car and possibly hurt someone.
