HONDA 2003 Civic Coupe - Owner's Manual - Manual (Page 15)

All adults, and children who have
outgrown child safety seats, are
wearing their seat belts and
wearing them properly (see page
).
Any infant or small child is
properly restrained in a child seat
in the back seat (see page
).
To make sure you and your
passengers get the maximum
protection from your car’s safety
features, check the following each
time before you drive away:
Front seat occupants are sitting
upright and as far back as possible
from the steering wheel and
dashboard (see page
).
Seat-backs are upright (see page
).
Head restraints are properly
adjusted (see page
).
Both doors are closed and locked
(see page
).
All cargo is properly stored or
secured (see page
).
Remember, however, that no safety
system can prevent all injuries or
deaths that can occur in severe
crashes, even when seat belts are
properly worn and the airbags deploy.
The rest of this section gives more
detailed information about how you
can maximize your safety.
The following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect the driver and other adult
occupants.
These instructions also apply to
children who have outgrown child
seats and are large enough to wear
lap/shoulder belts. (See page
for
important additional guidelines on
how to properly protect larger
children.)
