WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Honda Insight and 2010 Honda Insight. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SRS components are located in this area. Review the SRS component location (see COMPONENT LOCATION INDEX ), and the precautions and procedures (see PRECAUTIONS AND PROCEDURES ) in the SRS section before doing repairs or service.

NOTE:
  • Put on gloves to protect your hands.
  • Take care not to scratch the dashboard and related parts.
  • Lay a workshop towel under the parts when working on them to protect the face panel from scratches or other damage.
  • Do not work in a dusty or dirty place.
  • Discharge static electricity from your body before and during the work.
  • Do not touch the circuit board(s) with your bare hands.
  • Do not work with dirty hands.
  • Be careful not to fold the flat plate cable.
  • Do not touch the terminal connector of the flat plate cable with your bare hands. (If you have touched it, wipe it off thoroughly.)
  • Before replacing the audio-navigation unit, make sure to remove the customer's navigation DVD, and their audio CD, or PC card. Remanufactured audio-navigation units do not come with a navigation DVD. Re-install the customer's navigation DVD, audio CD, and audio PC card into the new remanufactured unit. If the navigation display won't open, manually remove the navigation DVD, audio CD, and PC card (see SYSTEM ALWAYS COMES UP IN THE IN-LINE DIAGNOSTIC MODE (FACTORY DIAG MODE)  ).
  • If you are replacing the audio-navigation unit, write down the audio presets (if possible), then enter them into the new audio-navigation unit.
  • If after replacing the audio-navigation unit, the vehicle starts up in the inline diag screen (see SYSTEM ALWAYS COMES UP IN THE IN-LINE DIAGNOSTIC MODE (FACTORY DIAG MODE)  ).
  1. Make sure you have the 4-digit anti-theft code for the navigation system.
  2. Eject all the discs from the original audio-navigation unit (see SYSTEM ALWAYS COMES UP IN THE IN-LINE DIAGNOSTIC MODE (FACTORY DIAG MODE)  ). To avoid scratching or damaging the DVD, temporarily place the DVD in jewel case.
  3. Open the center pocket, and remove the center pocket cover (A).
