Seat Belts Your Honda automobile is provided with seat belts to minimize the chance of injury to yourself and your passengers in a sudden stop or accident. See pages 15 and 16 for precautions on using seat belts for children, babies, and pregnant women. Seat belts are most effective when the driver and passengers are sitting up straight and well back in their seats. In the event of a collision, occupants not wearing seat belts could be seriously or fatally injured. Make sure you and all your passengers ALWAYS put on the seat belts before driving away. CAUTION: Be careful the seat belts are not damaged by catching or entangling in the door or seat mechanism. Front Seat Belts The front seats have an automatic ("passive") restraint system consisting of a shoulder belt and knee bolsters. To enhance the protection provided by the automatic system, you should also wear the manual lap belt. The shoulder belt should remain permanently latched. The automatic and manual belts have emergency locking retractors designed to lock only during a sudden stop or impact. Otherwise, they allow some freedom of movement in the seat. Operation 1. Enter the car and close the door completely. Move the seat a comfortable distance from the steering wheel, sit as straight up as possible and well back in the seat. Never drive the car with the doors ajar. The front doors must be closed completely for the front seat belts to function properly. 2. Turn the ignition ON. The shoulder belt buckle will move to its rear locked position. The length of the shoulder belt will adjust automatically to your body and seating position. (cont'd)
