Door Locks - Honda 1994 Accord Wagon Reference Owner's Manual

Door Locks

It is not safe to leave your car
doors unlocked. A passenger,
especially a child, could open a
door and accidentally fall out.
Also, there is a greater chance of
being thrown out of the car
during a crash when the doors
are not locked.
Storing Cargo Safely
Before you drive, make sure you
first securely store or tie down
any items that could be thrown
around the car and hurt someone
or interfere with your ability to
operate the controls.
Be sure to keep compartment
doors closed when the car is
moving. If a front passenger hits
the door of an open glove box, for
example, he could injure his
knees.
For information on loading cargo,
see page 96.
Driving With Pets
Loose pets can be a hazard while
you are driving. An unrestrained
pet can interfere with your ability
to drive the car. In a crash or
sudden stop, loose pets or cages
can be thrown around inside the
car and hurt you or your
passengers. It is also for their
safety that pets should be
properly restrained in your car.
The recommended way to
restrain a medium-sized or larger
dog is with a special traveling
harness. This harness can be
secured to the rear seat with a
seat belt. Travel harnesses are
available at pet stores.
A small dog, cat, or other small
animal will be safest in a pet
carrier with rigid sides. Choose a
style that allows you to secure it
to the car's seat by routing a seat
belt through the carrier's handle.
Additional Safety Information
For further information, contact
your veterinarian or local animal
protection society.
