The CR-V 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, 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 will require special precautions and tools, and should be done only by an authorized Honda dealer.
:$51,1*
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 side airbags.
Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may fail in a collision, or the airbags may deploy when the
ignition switch is ON (II).
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.

The service and repair information contained in this manual is intended for use by qualified, professional technicians.
Attempting service or repairs without the proper training, tools, and equipment could cause injury to you or others. It could
also damage the vehicle or create an unsafe condition.
This manual describes the proper methods and procedures for performing service, maintenance, and repairs. Some
procedures require the use of specially designed tools and dedicated equipment. Any person who intends to use a
replacement part, service procedure or a tool that is not recommended by Honda, must determine the risks to their personal
safety and the safe operation of the vehicle.
If you need to replace a part, use genuine Honda parts with the correct part number or an equivalent part. We strongly
recommend that you do not use replacement parts of inferior quality.
)25<285&86720(566$)(7<
Proper service and maintenance are essential to the customer’s safety and the reliability of the vehicle. Any error or
oversight while servicing a vehicle can result in faulty operation, damage to the vehicle, or injury to others.
)25<2856$)(7<
Because this manual is intended for the professional service technician, we do not provide warnings about many basic shop
safety practices (e.g., Hot parts - wear gloves). If you have not received shop safety training or do not feel confident about
your knowledge of safe servicing practices, we recommend that you do not attempt to perform the procedures described in
this manual.
Some of the most important general service safety precautions are given below. However, we cannot warn you of every
conceivable hazard that can arise in performing service and repair procedures. Only you can decide whether or not you
should perform a given task.
:$51,1*
Improper service or repairs can create an unsafe condition that
can cause your customer or others to be seriously hurt or killed.
Follow the procedures and precautions in this manual and other
service materials carefully.

Failure to properly follow instructions and precautions can

Make sure you have a clear understanding of all basic shop safety practices and that you are wearing appropriate clothing
and using safety equipment. When performing any service task, be especially careful of the following:
– Read all of the instructions before you begin, and make sure you have the tools, the replacement or repair parts, and the
skills required to perform the tasks safely and completely.
– Protect your eyes by using proper safety glasses, goggles or face shields any time you hammer, drill, grind, or work
around pressurized air or liquids and springs or other stored-energy components. If there is any doubt, put on eye
protection.
– Use other protective wear when necessary, for example gloves or safety shoes. Handling hot or sharp parts can cause
severe burns or cuts. Before you grab something that looks like it can hurt you, stop and put on gloves.
– Protect yourself and others whenever you have the vehicle up in the air. Any time you lift the vehicle, either with a hoist
or a jack, make sure that it is always securely supported. Use jack stands.
Make sure the engine is off before you begin any servicing procedures, unless the instruction tells you to do otherwise.
This will help eliminate several potential hazards:
– Carbon monoxide poisoning from engine exhaust. Be sure there is adequate ventilation whenever you run the engine.
– Burns from hot parts or coolant. Let the engine and exhaust system cool before working in those areas.
– Injury from moving parts. If the instruction tells you to run the engine, be sure your hands, fingers, and clothing are out of
the way.
Gasoline vapors and hydrogen gases from batteries are explosive. To reduce the possibility of a fire or explosion, be
careful when working around gasoline or batteries.
– Use only a nonflammable solvent, not gasoline to clean parts.
– Never drain or store gasoline in an open container.
– Keep all cigarettes, sparks, and flames away from the battery and all fuel-related parts.
