Occupant Protection Features
All Civic GX's have lap/shoulder belts and
dual front airbags. The 2001 and later
models add pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners
and side airbags for the driver and front
passenger. The 2006 and later models add
side-curtain airbags. To disable the airbags
and tensioners, the ignition switch must be
in the LOCK (0) position for at least 3
minutes, or the engine must be stopped and
the 12 volt battery must be disconnected for
at least 3 minutes.
CNG Safety Features
The fuel tank has an internal solenoid valve
that automatically shuts off the flow of CNG
whenever the ignition switch is in the LOCK
(0) or ACCESSORY (I) position, or when one
of several sensors in the fuel system detects
a significant fuel leak.
The fuel tank also has an internal pressure
relief device to release all CNG if the
temperature in the tank exceeds 216ºF
(102ºC). When this device is activated, the
CNG is routed out of the car through a
pressure relief outlet under the left rear
corner of the vehicle.
