2002 Honda Passport EX 3.2L Timing Belt VIN: 4S6CK58W72
I called Honda and the local dealer could not tell me if this is a interference engine or not, called Suzuki Dealer also since it is a Suzuki engine and they could not tell me either. Does anyone know if this is a interference engine? Thanks

Thank you everyone who replied. The panel was not under the seat, but behind it as you all said. This was a station wagon, but I guess the sedans have the panel in the trunk in the same area behind the back seat. It was a very easy job. Thanks again.
