Honda 2000 Passport, Owner'S Manual

Page: 23 / 267

To remind you of the passenger's
airbag hazards, and that children
must be properly restrained in the
back seat, your vehicle has
warning labels on the dashboard,
and on the driver's and front
passenger's visors. Please read
and follow the instructions on
these labels.
If You Must Drive With
Several Children
Your vehicle has three seating
positions in the back seat where
children can be properly
restrained.
If you ever have to carry more
than three children in your
vehicle:
Place the largest child in the
front seat, provided the child is
large enough to wear a seat belt
properly (see page
33 ).
Move the vehicle seat as far to
the rear as possible (see page
89 ).
Have the child sit upright and
well back in the seat (see page
16 ).
Make sure the seat belt is
properly positioned and
secured (see page
13 ).
If a Child Requires Close
Attention
Many parents say they prefer to
put an infant or small child in the
front passenger seat so they can
watch the child, or because the
child requires attention.
Placing a child in the front seat
exposes the child to hazards from
the airbag, and paying close
attention to a child distracts the
driver from the important tasks of
driving, placing both of you at
risk.
If a child requires physical
attention or frequent visual
contact, we strongly recommend
that another adult ride with the
child in the back seat. The back
seat is far safer for a child than the
front.
