The Seat Belt System and How It Works (cont'd) Seat Belt System Components Your Accord has seat belts in all five seating positions. The front seats and the outside positions of the rear seat have lap/shoulder belts. The center position of the rear seat has a lap belt. Your seat belt system also includes a light on the instrument panel to remind you to fasten your seat belt, and to make sure your passengers fasten theirs. This light comes on when you turn on the ignition if you have not fastened your seat belt. A beeper also sounds for several seconds (see page 39 ). The following pages cover more about the seat belt components and how they work. Lap/Shoulder Belt This style of seat belt has a single belt that goes over your shoulder, across your chest, and across your hips. Each lap/shoulder belt has an emergency locking retractor. In normal driving, the retractor lets you move freely in your seat while it keeps some tension on the belt. During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor automatically locks the belt to help restrain your body. ADJUSTER SHOULDER PORTION UPPER SEAT BELT ANCHOR LATCH PLATE BUCKLE LAP PORTION
