Protecting adults – HONDA 2001 Civic Coupe - Owner's Manual User Manual

Page 16

The following pages provide
instructions on how to properly
protect the driver and other adult
occupants.

These instructions also apply to
children who have outgrown child
seats and are large enough to wear
lap/shoulder belts. (See page

for

important additional guidelines on
how to properly protect larger
children.)

Any driver who sits too close to the
steering wheel is at risk of being
seriously injured or killed by striking
the steering wheel or from being
struck by an inflating front airbag
during a crash.

After everyone has entered the car,
be sure the doors are closed and
locked.

For safety, locking the doors reduces
the chance that a passenger,
especially a child, will open a door
while the car is moving and
accidentally fall out. It also reduces
the chance of someone being thrown
out of the car during a crash.

For security, locked doors can
prevent an outsider from
unexpectedly opening a door when
you come to a stop.

See page

for how to lock the

doors.
