Automatic Seat Belt Tensioners
For added protection, the seat belts
are equipped with automatic seat
belt tensioners. When activated, the
tensioners immediately tighten the
belts to help hold the driver and a
passenger in place.
Additional Information About Your Seat Belts
The tensioners are designed to
activate primarily in frontal collisions,
and they should activate in any
collision severe enough to cause
airbag inflation.
However, the tensioners can be
activated during a collision in which
the front airbags do not deploy. In
this case, the airbags would not be
needed, but the additional restraint
could be helpful.
When the tensioners are activated,
the seat belts will remain tight until
they are unbuckled in the normal
manner.
Seat Belt Maintenance
For safety, you should check the
condition of your seat belts regularly.
Pull each belt out fully and look for
frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check
that the latches work smoothly and
the belts retract easily. Any belt that
is not in good condition or not
working properly will not provide
good protection and should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Honda provides a lifetime warranty
on seat belts for U.S. models. See
your
Honda Warranty Information
booklet for details.
If a seat belt is worn during a crash,
it must be replaced by your dealer. A
belt that has been worn during a
crash may not provide the same level
of protection in a subsequent crash.
