HONDA 2009 Odyssey - Manual (Page 45)

If a child
wraps a loose seat belt around
their neck, they can be seriously
or fatally injured. (See pages
and for how to activate
and deactivate the lockable
retractor.)
This can prevent children
from accidentally falling out (see
page
).
This
will prevent unintended use of the
doors.
Leaving children without
adult supervision is illegal in most
states and Canadian provinces,
and can be very hazardous.
For example, infants and small
children left in a vehicle on a hot
day can die from heatstroke. A
child left alone with the key in the
ignition switch can accidentally set
the vehicle in motion, possibly
injuring themselves or others.
Even very young
children learn how to unlock
vehicle doors, turn on the ignition
switch, and open the tailgate,
which can lead to accidental injury
or death.
Children who play in vehicles can
accidentally get trapped inside.
Teach your children not to play in
or around vehicles.
