1993 Honda Civic Owner's Manual - Page 87

Accessories Your Honda dealer has many accessories available to personalize your car. Some of these are audio systems, alloy wheels, air conditioning, and color-coordinated carpet floor mats. All Genuine Honda Accessories have been approved by our engineers for installation and use on your car, and are covered by warranty. For a complete guide to the Genuine Honda Accessories available, see your dealer for a 1993 Accessories brochure. Some non-Honda accessories you can buy in the "aftermarket" are designed for universal applications. Although they may fit your Honda, they may not be within factory specifications. For example, after-market wheels may not meet Honda's specifications for width and offset. They could cause suspension problems which would not be covered by your warranty. Improperly-designed accessories can adversely affect your car's handling and stability. Your car has several computercontrolled systems, including the SRS system and the engine's fuel injection system. Strong electronic interference can affect their operation. Electronic communications equipment, such as cellular telephones and two-way radios are regulated by the FCC (CRTC in Canada) and should not interfere with your car's systems. Improper installation, or using electrical equipment not intended for mobile use may interfere with your car's operation. If you want to install a cellular telephone, other mobile communications equipment, or even add-on stereo amplifiers, please discuss it first with your Honda dealer. In many cases, improper installation is the real cause of problems with after-market accessories. Have these accessories installed by qualified technicians who are familiar with your Honda. If possible, have your Honda dealer inspect the final installation. Before Driving
