Seat Belt System Components

Your Accord has seat belts in all five seating positions. The front seats

and the outside rear seats have lap/shoulder belts. The center rear
seat has a lap belt.

Your seat belt system also includes a light on the instrument panel to

remind you to fasten your seat belt, and to make sure your passengers

fasten theirs. This light comes on when you turn on the ignition if you
have not fastened your seat belt. A beeper also sounds for several

seconds (see page

The following pages cover more about the seat belt components and
how they work.

Lap/Shoulder Belt

This style of seat belt has a single belt that goes over your shoulder,

across your chest, and across your hips.

Each lap/shoulder belt has an emergency locking retractor. This lets

you move freely in your seat while keeping some tension on the belt.

During a collision or sudden stop, the retractor automatically locks.
