Additional Safety Information - Honda 1993 Accord Coupe Owner's Manual

Additional Safety Information

Your seat belts and airbag are obviously important parts of your
occupant protection system.
In addition, you should know that sitting upright, adjusting the head
restraints to the proper positions, 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 protection from the seat belts.
If you recline a seat-back, you will 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
Head Restraint Position
Head restraints can help protect you from whiplash and other
injuries. For the best protection, adjust the top of the head restraint
so it is even with the tops of your ears, or as high as possible. For
instructions on adjusting the head restraints, see page
