I am thinking of buying a used Honda Civic Hybrid 2003 that the owner claims has rear side airbags. How do I actually verify that the car are installed with those airbag, e.g. are there some documentation or papers that I can refer to? Thanks.

According to my research side curtain air bags for the row 2 passengers was not available in 2003 0r 2004 for Honda Civics. This option was available in 2004 for the Accord sedan only. This information can be verified by the original factory sticker or even running the VIN through a Honda service department computer.

You might want to try asking some owners to be sure:http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/...12/Considering that the Honda press release for the 2003 HCH only lists the dual-stage driver and passenger front airbags and driver's and passenger's side airbags as standard equipment, with no note about rear airbags as an available option, it is highly possible that your seller is confused. (It's always possible that the seller has a one-off VIP vehicle, but unlikely.)http://corporate.honda.com/press/art...643225Normally there's a SRS label wherever the airbags live, so if you don't see any label either just above the rear windows or by the side of the rear seats, it is highly unlikely that any airbags are in the rear area.
