Additional Safety Precautions - Honda 2001 Passport Owner's Manual

Main Menu Table of Contents
We recommend that a pregnant
woman use a lap/shoulder belt
whenever possible. Remember to
keep the lap portion of the belt as
low as possible across your hips.
Pregnant women should also sit as
far back as possible from the
steering wheel or dashboard. This
will reduce the risk of injuries to
both the mother and her unborn
child that can be caused by a
crash or an inflating airbag.
Each time you have a checkup,
ask your doctor if it's okay for
you to drive.
Additional Safety
Precautions
Two people should never use
the same seat belt. If they do,
they could be very seriously
injured in a crash.
Do not put any accessories on
seat belts. Devices intended to
improve occupant comfort, or
reposition the shoulder part of a
seat belt, can severely
compromise the protective
capability of the seat belt and
increase the chance of serious
injury in a crash.
Do not place hard or sharp
objects between yourself and
an airbag. Carrying hard or
sharp objects on your lap, or
driving with a pipe or other
sharp object in your mouth, can
result in injuries if your airbags
inflate.
Keep your hands and arms
away from the airbag covers.
If your hands or arms are close
to the SRS covers in the center
of the steering wheel or on top
of the dashboard, they could be
injured if the airbags inflate.
Never let passengers ride in
the cargo area or on top of a
folded-down back seat. A ll
passengers must sit in locked,
upright seats and be properly
restrained by seat belts.
Do not attach or place objects
on the airbag covers. Any
object attached to or placed on
the covers marked "SRS
A I R B A G" in the center of the
steering wheel and on top of
the dashboard could interfere
with the proper operation of the
airbags. Or, if the airbags
inflate, the objects could be
propelled inside the car and
hurt someone.
