System Service - Honda Accord Sedan 1997 Reference Owner's Manual

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.
How the SRS Indicator
SRS
Light Works
The purpose of the SRS light on your
instrument panel is to alert you to a
potential problem with your supple-
mental restraint system.
Have the system checked if:
The light does not come on when
you turn the ignition ON (II).
The light stays on after the engine
starts.
The light comes on or flashes
while you are driving.
If you see any of these indications,
the airbag may not work when
needed in an accident. Take the
car to your dealer promptly for
diagnosis and service.
Supplemental Restraint System

System Service

Your supplemental restraint system
is virtually maintenance-free. The
only scheduled maintenance is an
inspection of the system by the
dealer when the car is ten years old.
For your convenience, the car's
production date is on a label on the
driver's doorjamb.
If either of the following happens,
you must have an authorized Honda
dealer service the system. There are
no parts you can safely service.
If your airbags ever inflate, the
airbags and control unit must be
replaced. Do not try to remove or
discard the airbags yourself. This
must be done by a Honda dealer.
