Your Occupant Protection System Your Accord is equipped with seat belts and other features that work together to protect you and your passengers during a crash. Seat belts are the most important part of your occupant protection system. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of serious injury or death in a crash. For added protection during a severe frontal collision, all Accords sold in the U.S. have a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with a driver's airbag. (This feature is available on the EX-R and EX models in Canada.) Two indicator lights are also part of your safety system. One reminds you to make sure you and your passengers wear your seat belts. The other alerts you to a possible problem with your supplemental restraint system (see page 22 ). The seats, head restraints, and door locks also play a role in occupant safety. For example, reclining the seat back can decrease the effectiveness of your seat belt. Head restraints can help protect your neck and head, especially during rear-end impacts. Door locks help keep your doors from being accidentally opened during a crash. To get the maximum protection from your occupant protection system, check the following before you drive away: Everyone in the car is wearing a seat belt properly (see page 13 ). All doors are closed and locked (see page 25 ). Seat backs are upright and adjustable head restraints are at the proper heights (see page 24 ). There are no loose items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash or sudden stop (see page 25 ). By following these guidelines, you can reduce injuries to yourself and your passengers in many crash situations. Remember, however, that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can occur in severe crashes.

Your Accord is equipped with seat belts and other features that
work together to protect you and your passengers during a crash.
Seat belts are the most important part of your occupant protection
system. When worn properly, seat belts can reduce the chance of
serious injury or death in a crash.
For added protection during a severe frontal collision, all Accords
sold in the U.S. have a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with a
driver's airbag. (This feature is available on the EX-R and EX models
in Canada.)
Two
indicator
lights
are
also
part
of
your
safety
system.
One
reminds you to make sure you and your passengers wear your seat
belts.
The
other
alerts
you
to
a
possible
problem
with
your
supplemental restraint system (see page
22
).
The
seats,
head
restraints,
and
door
locks
also
play
a
role
in
occupant safety. For example, reclining the seat back can decrease
the effectiveness of your seat belt. Head restraints can help protect
your neck and head, especially during rear-end impacts. Door locks
help keep your doors from being accidentally opened during a crash.
To
get
the
maximum
protection
from
your
occupant
protection
system, check the following before you drive away:
Everyone in the car is wearing a seat belt properly (see page
13
).
All doors are closed and locked (see page
25
).
Seat backs are upright and adjustable head restraints are at the
proper heights (see page
24
).
There are no loose items that could be thrown around and hurt
someone during a crash or sudden stop (see page
25
).
By following these guidelines, you can reduce injuries to yourself
and your passengers in many crash situations. Remember, however,
that no safety system can prevent all injuries or deaths that can
occur in severe crashes.
