During a crash or emergency stop,
seat belts can help keep you from
being thrown against the inside of
the car, against other occupants,
or out of the car.
Of course, seat belts cannot
completely protect you in every
crash. But, in most cases, seat
belts reduce your chance of
serious injury. They can even save
your life. That is why many states
require you to wear seat belts.
The Seat Belt System and How It Works
Why Wear Seat Belts
Wearing seat belts, and wearing
them properly, is fundamental
to your safety and the safety of
your passengers.
Important Safety Reminders
Seat belts are designed for adults
and larger children. A l l infants
and small children must be
properly restrained in child safety
seats (see page 18 ).
A pregnant woman needs to wear
a seat belt to protect herself and
her unborn child (see page
10 ).
Two people should never use the
same seat belt. If they do, they
could be very seriously injured in
a crash.
Do not place the shoulder portion
of a lap/shoulder belt under your
arm or behind your back. This
could increase the chance of
serious injuries in a crash.
Do not put shoulder belt pads or
other accessories on seat belts.
They can reduce the effectiveness
of the belts and increase the
chance of injury.
Seat Belt System Components
Your Honda has seat belts in all
five seating positions. The front
seats and the outside positions of
the rear seat have lap/shoulder
belts. The center position of the
rear seat has a lap belt.
Driver and Passenger Safety

Not wearing a seat belt
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your
passengers always wear seat
belts and wear them properly.
