Protecting Adults

Position the belt as low as possible

across your hips. This lets your

strong pelvic bones take the force of

a crash and reduces the chance of

internal injuries.

Pull on the loose end of the belt for a

snug but comfortable fit.

If a Seat Belt Doesn't Work Properly

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.

for additional

information about your seat belt

system and how to take care of your

belts.

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.
