Protecting Adults
Position the lap belt as low as
possible across your hips, then pull
on the loose end of the lap belt for a
snug but comfortable fit. This lets
your strong pelvic bones take the
force of a crash and reduces the
chance of internal injuries.
If necessary, pull up on the shoulder
belt again to remove any slack from
the shoulder belt, then check that
the belt rests across the center of
your chest and over your shoulder.
This spreads the forces of a crash
over the strongest bones in your
upper body.
Never place the shoulder portion of a
lap/shoulder belt under your arm or
behind your back. This could cause
very serious injuries in a crash.
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.
See page 45 for additional
information about your seat belt
system and how to take care of your
belts.
