Airbag Care - Honda Accord Hybrid 2014 Manual

Airbag Care

You do not need to, and should not, perform any maintenance on or replace any
airbag system components yourself. However, you should have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Honda Accord Plug-In dealer in the following situations:
■
When the airbags have deployed
If an airbag has inflated, the control unit and other related parts must be replaced.
Similarly, once an automatic seat belt tensioner has been activated, it must be
replaced.
■
When the vehicle has been in a moderate-to-severe collision
Even if the airbags did not inflate, have an authorized Honda Accord Plug-In dealer
inspect the following: the driver's seat position sensor, weight sensors in the
passenger's seat, front seat belt tensioners, and each seat belt that was worn during
the crash.
■
Do not remove or modify a front seat without consulting an authorized
Honda Accord Plug-In dealer
This would likely disable the driver's seat position sensor or the weight sensors in the
passenger's seat. If it is necessary to remove or modify a front seat to accommodate
a person with disabilities, contact an authorized Honda Accord Plug-In dealer, or for
U.S. vehicles, American Honda Automobile Customer Service at 800-999-1009 and
for Canadian vehicles, Honda Canada Customer Relations at 888-9-HONDA-9.
