Supplemental Restraint System

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
Light Works
The purpose of the SRS light on your instrument panel is to alert you of 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.
System Service

Your supplemental restraint system is virtually maintenance-free. Thereare no parts you can safely service.
You must have the system serviced by an authorized Honda dealer:
If your airbags ever inflate, the
airbags and control unit must be
replaced. Do not try to remove or discard the airbags by yourself.
This must be done by a Honda
dealer.

If the SRS indicator light alerts
you of a problem. Have the supplemental restraint system
checked as soon as possible.Otherwise, your airbags might not
inflate when you need them.
When the car is ten years old. Have the dealer inspect thesystem. The production date is on
the driver's doorjamb for your

convenience.

Indicator Lights

Supplemental Restraint
System Indicator

The SRS light normally comes on for a few seconds when you turn the
ignition ON (II). If it doesn't, or it stays on after the engine starts,
something is wrong with the
Supplemental Restraint System. It
may also flash on and off to indicate

a problem.

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.
Anti-lock Brake System(ABS) Indicator
Only on cars equipped with ABS (see
page 125)
This light normally comes on when you turn the ignition ON (II) and goes off after the engine starts. If if
comes on at any other time, there is
a problem in the ABS. If this happens,
fake the car to your dealer to have it
checked. With the light on, your car
still has normal braking ability but no

anti-lock.

Malfunction IndicatorLamp
Check Engine Light
This light comes on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition
switch ON (II). If it comes on at any
other time, it indicates one of the
engine's emission control systems
may have a problem. Turn to page 206 for information about what to do. Door and Brake Lamp Monitor
The appropriate light comes on in this display if the tailgate or any door
is not closed tightly. If a brake lightdoes not work, the BRAKE LAMP
indicator comes on when you push
the brake pedal with the ignition switch ON (II).
A burned out brake light is a hazard when drivers behind you cannot tell
you are braking. Have your brake lights repaired right away.
All the lights in the monitor display come on for a few seconds when you
turn the ignition switch ON (II).

Charging System Indication

The charging system indicator should go out after the engine starts.If it comes on brightly with the
engine running, the alternator is no
longer charging the battery. Immediately turn off all electrical
accessories: radio, heater, A/C, rear defogger, cruise control, etc. Try not
to use other electrically-operated controls such as the power windows.
Keep the engine running and take
extra care not to stall it. Starting theengine will discharge the battery
rapidly. By eliminating as much of the
electrical load as possible, you can
drive several miles before the
battery is too discharged to keep the
engine running. Drive to a service station or garage where you can get
technical assistance.
