HONDA 2004 Odyssey - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 17)

Insert the latch plate into the buckle,
then tug on the belt to make sure the
belt is securely latched.
The center belt in the third row has a
shoulder belt that must be attached
to the lap belt before the seat belt is
used (see page
).
Position the lap part of the belt as
low as possible across your hips,
then pull up on the shoulder part of
the belt so the lap part fits snugly.
This lets your strong pelvic bones
take the force of a crash and reduces
the chance of internal injuries.
Check that the belt is not twisted.
If the seat belt touches or crosses
your neck, or if it crosses your arm
instead of your shoulder, you need to
adjust the seat belt anchor height.
If necessary, pull up on the shoulder
belt again to remove any slack, then
check that the belt rests across the
center of your chest and over your
shoulder. This spreads the forces of
a crash over the strongest bones in
your upper body.
