SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) (If electrical maintenance is required)
The Insight SRS includes a driver's airbag in the steering wheel hub, a passenger's airbag in the dashboard above the glove box, and seat belt tensioners in the seat belt retractors. 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 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 collision, all SRS service work must be performed 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 seat belt tensioners.
- Do not bump or impact the SRS unit, front 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 wiring harnesses are identified by yellow color coding. Related components are located in the steering column, console, dashboard, dashboard lower panel and in the dashboard above the glove box. Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.
INTEGRATED MOTOR ASSIST (IMA) SYSTEM (If electrical maintenance is required)
IMA components are located in this area. The IMA is a high-voltage system. The high voltage cables and their covers are identified by orange coloring. The safety labels are attached to high voltage and other related parts (see DANGER/WARNING/CAUTION LABEL LOCATIONS ). You must be familiar with the IMA system before working on or around it. Make sure you have read the Service Precautions in the IMA section before performing repairs or service (see SERVICE PRECAUTIONS ).
