Driver and Passenger Safety
into the buckle, and tug on the
belt to make sure the belt is
securely latched.
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.

information about your seat belt
system and how to take care of
your belts.

. 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

for how to adjust the
steering wheel.
