Additional Safety Information - Honda 1993 Civic Reference Owner's Manual

The seat belts and airbag are obvi-
ously important parts of your occu-
pant protection system.
In addition, you should know that
sitting upright, locking the doors,
and stowing things properly can
also increase your safety and
possibly even save your life.
Seat-back Position
The seat-backs should be in an
upright position for you and your
passengers to get the most protec-
tion from the seat belts.
If you recline a seat-back, you
reduce the protective capability of
your seat belt. The farther a seat-
back is reclined, the greater the
risk that you will slide under the
belt in a severe crash and be very
seriously injured.
For information on how to adjust
the seat-back, see page 48.

Additional Safety Information

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.
