Two SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) front airbags. The driver's airbag
1
is stored in the center of the steering wheel; the front passenger's airbag is
stored in the dashboard. Both are marked SRS AIRBAG.
Two side airbags, one for the driver and one for the front passenger. The
2
airbags are stored in the outer edges of the seat-backs. Both are marked
SIDE AIRBAG.
Two side curtain airbags, one for each side of the vehicle. The airbags are
3
stored in the ceiling, above the side windows. The front and rear pillars are
marked SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.
An electronic control unit that continually monitors information about the
4
sensors, the airbag activators, the seat belt tensioners, and other vehicle
information. During a crash event, the unit records such information.
Automatic front seat belt tensioners. The driver's and front passenger's seat
5
belts incorporate sensors that detect whether or not they are fastened.
A driver's seat position sensor. If the seat is too far forward, the airbag will
6
inflate with less force.
Weight sensors in the front passenger's seat. The front passenger's airbag
7
will be turned off if the weight on the seat is 65 lbs (29 kg) or less (the weight
of an infant or small child).
Impact sensors that can detect a moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
8
An indicator on the dashboard that alerts you that the front passenger's front
9
airbag has been turned off.
An indicator on the instrument panel that alerts you to a possible problem
10
with the airbag system or seat belt tensioners.

A rollover sensor that detects whether the vehicle is about to roll over and signal
12
the control unit to deploy both side curtain airbags.
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 a 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 your 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 first consulting a 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 a Honda dealer. For U.S.
vehicles, call Honda Automobile Customer Service at (800) 999-1009. For Canadian
vehicles, call Honda Canada Customer Relations at (888) 946-6329.
