Additional Information About Your Seat Belts

If the shoulder part of the belt is

pulled all the way out, the locking

mechanism will activate. The belt

will retract, but it will not allow the

passenger to move freely.

To deactivate the locking

mechanism, unlatch the buckle and

let the seat belt fully retract. To

refasten the belt, pull it out only as

far as needed.

See page

14

for instructions on how

to wear the lap/shoulder belt

properly.

Seat Belt Maintenance

For safety, you should check the

condition of your seat belts regularly.

Pull each belt out fully and look for

frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check

that the latches work smoothly and

that the lap/shoulder belts retract

easily. Any belt not in good condition

or not working properly will not

provide good protection and should

be replaced as soon as possible.

U.S. Models

Honda provides a lifetime warranty

on seat belts. Honda will repair or

replace any seat belt component that

fails to function properly during

normal use. Please see your Honda

Warranty Information booklet for

details.

If a seat belt is worn during a crash,

you should have your dealer inspect

the belt, and replace it if necessary.

A belt that has been worn during a

crash may not provide the same level

of protection in a subsequent crash.

The dealer should also inspect the

anchors for damage and replace

them if needed.

For information on how to clean your

seat belts, see page

Driver and Passenger Safety

Not checking or maintaining

seat belts can result in serious

injury or death if the seat belts

do not work properly when

needed.

Check your seat belts regularly

and have any problem

corrected as soon as possible.
