Protecting Adults

If necessary, pull up on the belt again

to remove any slack from the

shoulder part, 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.

Never place the shoulder portion of a
lap/shoulder belt under your arm or

behind your back.

This could cause

very serious injuries in a crash.

If a seat belt does not seem to work

as it should, it may not protect the

occupant in a crash. No one should

sit in a seat with an inoperative seat
belt.

Anyone using a seat belt that is

not working properly can be

seriously injured or killed. Have your

Honda dealer check the belt as soon

as possible.

See page

for additional

information about your seat belt

system and how to take care of your

belts.

6.Adjust the Steering Wheel

Adjust the steering wheel, if needed,

so that the wheel points toward your

chest, not toward your face.

Pointing the steering wheel toward

your chest provides optimal

protection from the airbag.

See page

68

for how to adjust the

steering wheel.

Driver and Passenger Safety

Improperly positioning the seat

belts can cause serious injury

or death in a crash.

Make sure all seat belts are

properly positioned before

driving.
