Vehicle Damage Warnings

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

The Acura 3.5RL 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 seat belt retractors, and side airbags ('99 - 00 models) in the front seat-backs.

Servicing, disassembling or replacing items located near SRS components will require special precautions and tools, and should only be done by an authorized Acura dealer.

WARNING:
- 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 Acura dealer.
- Improper service procedures, including incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, could lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the front airbags, seat belt tensioners, and side airbags ('99 - 00 models).
- Do not bump the SRS unit. Otherwise, the system may fail in case of a collision, or the front airbags or the side airbags ('99 - 00 models) may deploy when the ignition switch is ON (II).
- SRS electrical wiring harnesses are indicated 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 ('99 - 00 models) and around the floor ('99 - 00 models).
Do not use electrical test equipment on these circuits.

NOTE:
- The original radio has a coded theft protection circuit. Be sure to get the customer's code number before
- disconnecting the battery.
- removing the No.56 (7.5 A) fuse from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
- removing the radio.

After service, reconnect power to the radio and turn it on. When the word "CODE" is displayed, enter the customer's 5-digit code to restore radio operation.

- The PCM memory must be reset after reconnecting the battery or the BACKUP RADIO fuse.
