SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (If body maintenance is required)
The Accord Hybrid SRS includes a driver's airbag in the steering wheel hub, a passenger's airbag in the dashboard
above the glove box, seat belt tensioners in the front seat belt retractors, side curtain airbags in the sides of the roof,
and side airbags in the front seat-backs. Information necessary to safely service the SRS is included in this Service
Manual. Items marked w i t h an asterisk ( * ) on the contents page include or are located near SRS c o m p o n e n t s .
Servicing, disassembling, or replacing these items require special precautions and tools, and should be done only by
an authorized Honda dealer.
• To avoid rendering the SRS inoperative, w h i c h could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal
or side collision, all SRS service w o r k must be p e r f o r m e d by an authorized Honda dealer.
• Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal injury
caused by unintentional d e p l o y m e n t of the airbags and/or side airbags.
• Do not b u m p or impact the SRS unit, front impact sensors, or side impact sensors w h e n the ignition switch is ON (II),
or for at least 3 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF; otherwise, the system may fail in a collision, or the
airbags may deploy.
• SRS electrical connectors are identified by y e l l o w color coding. Related components are located in the steering
c o l u m n , front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, in the dashboard above the glove box, in the f r o n t seats,
in the roof side, and around the floor. Do not use electrical test e q u i p m e n t on these circuits.
