The light means that the side SRS is turned off (generally on the passenger side). Were you the only one in the car? For me, it normally comes on when the passenger isnt sitting properly and is leaning to one side or has turned around or has his head out the window. The car is telling you it turned off the SRS for him because if it deploys, it could injure him since he's not in position for it.

Listen you ignorant fool. I was not making crap up. All I did was merely mistake the "SRS" indicator for the "Side Airbag" indicator (which comes on in my car form time to time). Directly from the Civic manual:

p. 52: [shows a picture of the Side Airbag light]
"This light alerts you that the passenger side airbag has been automatically shut off.

To reduce the risk of injury from an inflating side airbag, your car has an automatic cutoff system for the passenger's side airbag.

Although Honda does not encourage children to ride in the fron, this system is designed to shut off the side airbag if a child leans sideways and the child's head is in the side airbag deployment path.

If a small-structured adult leans sideways, or larger adult slouches and leans sideways into the deployment path of the side airbag, the system may also shut off the side airbag.

If the side airbag indicator light comes on, you should have the passenger sit upright. Once the passenger is out of the deployment path of the side airbag, the system will turn the airbag back on and the light will go out."

I can't believe I went out to my car, got the manual, and type it all out just to show you your own stupid ways. I'd love to see you at the next NY meet, so I can put a face on the people bringing down the education system on this country.

They came out in 2001 I think. Well, I have a 2001 EX Sedan, and I know I have them. =) They were an additional $250 I when I got my car. I'm don't think the 6th gen's had side airbags, but I dunno for sure.
