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 have a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) with a driver's airbag. The SE model also has a passenger's airbag. 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 your 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 ). Infants and small children are properly secured in child safety seats (see page 27 ). All doors are closed and locked (see page 25 ). Seat-backs are upright and head restraints are properly adjusted (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.
