Main Menu Table Of Contents Seats Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press against the front passenger's seat, as this could cause the weight sensors to work improperly. If the rear head restraints get caught on the front seat backs and you cannot fold down the rear seat-back fully, you can remove the head restraints (see page 95 ). Make sure the removed head restraints are securely stored. To lock the seat-back upright, push it firmly against the trunk panel. Make sure it is latched in place by pulling on the top of the seat. Make sure all rear shoulder belts are positioned in front of the rear seatback, and the center shoulder belt is re-positioned in the guide whenever the seat-back is in its upright position. Be sure there are no twists in any shoulder belt. Do not put any heavy items on the seat-back when it is folded down. Make sure all items in the trunk, or items extending through the opening into the back seat, are secured. Loose items can fly forward and cause injury if you have to brake hard. See Carrying Cargo on page 273 . Never drive with the seat-back folded down and the trunk lid open. See Carbon Monoxide Hazard on page 51 . Armrests Front To use the console lid as an armrest, slide it to one of its three positions. 98 2009 Accord Sedan
