SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (If steering maintenance is required)

The ELEMENT 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, seat belt buckle tensioners in the front
seat belt buckles, 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 with an
asterisk (*) on the contents page include or are located near SRS components. 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, which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a
severe frontal or side collision, all SRS service work should be done by an authorized Honda dealer.



Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to
personal injury caused by unintentional deployment of the airbags and/or side airbags.



Do not bump or impact the SRS unit, front impact sensors, or side impact sensors when 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 yellow color coding. Related components are located in the
steering column, front console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel, in the dashboard above the glove box,
in the front seats, and around the floor. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.
