Additional Information About Your SRS How the Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners Work How the SRS Indicator Light Works purpose of the SRS SRS The light is to alert you to a potential problem with your Supplemental Restraint System. When you turn the ignition ON (II), this indicator will light up briefly then go out. This tells you that the system is working properly. However, if the light comes on at any other time, you should have the system checked by your dealer. For example: If the SRS indicator light does not come on after you turn the ignition ON (II). If the light stays on after the engine starts. If the light comes on or flashes on and off while you drive. If you see any of these indications, your airbags and seat belt tensioners may not deploy when you need them. See your Honda dealer as soon as possible. Ignoring the SRS indicator light can result in serious injury or death if the airbags do not inflate when needed. Have your vehicle checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the SRS light alerts you to a potential problem. Your Honda has automatic seat belt tensioners for added protection during a moderate to severe frontal collision. If your airbags inflate, the tensioners immediately tighten the front seat belts to help hold the occupants in place. The belts will remain tight until you unbuckle them in the normal way.
