HONDA 2005 Civic Sedan - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 18)

See page for additional
information about your seat belts
and how to take care of them.
Using a seat
belt that is not working properly can
result in serious injury or death.
Have your dealer check the belt as
soon as possible.
If a seat belt does not seem to work
properly, it may not protect the
occupant in a crash.
This could cause
very serious injuries in a crash.
After all occupants have adjusted
their seats and put on seat belts, it is
very important that they continue to
sit upright, well back in their seats,
with their feet on the floor, until the
vehicle is parked and the engine is
off.
Sitting improperly can increase the
chance of injury during a crash. For
example, if an occupant slouches,
lies down, turns sideways, sits
forward, leans forward or sideways,
or puts one or both feet up, the
chance of injury during a crash is
greatly increased.

No one should sit in a seat with an
inoperative seat belt.
Never place the shoulder portion of a
lap/shoulder belt under your arm or
behind your back. Maintain a Proper Sitting
Position 6.
