Securing A Child Seat With A Lap/Shoulder Belt - Honda 1997 Accord Wagon Owner's Manual

Securing a Child Seat With a
Lap/Shoulder Belt
The lap/shoulder belt retractors in
the passenger seating positions
have a built-in locking mechanism
intended to secure a child seat.
When you are placing a child seat
in one of these outside seating
positions, do the following:
1. Place the child seat in the
desired seating position. Route
the lap/shoulder belt through
the seat according to the seat
manufacturer's instructions.
2. Insert the latch plate into the
buckle. Make sure it is fully
latched.
3. Slowly pull the shoulder
portion of the belt out of the
retractor until it stops.

4. Allow the belt to slowly feed
back into the retractor. You
should hear a clicking noise
that indicates the locking
mechanism has engaged.
5. After the belt has retracted
fully, pull up on the shoulder
portion to remove any slack.
6. Push and pull on the child seat
to verify that it is held firmly
in place. If not, unlatch the
seat belt, allow it to retract
fully, and repeat these steps.
To unlatch the seat belt, push the
red PRESS button on the buckle.
Guide the belt across to the door
pillar. If the belt doesn't retract
easily, pull it out and check for
twists or kinks.

With Tethers
Your Honda has three attachment
points for tether-style child seats.
Two are on the floor behind each
rear seat. A third attachment point
is at the headliner at the tailgate
opening. To access, remove the
