Additional Safety Information - Honda 1995 Civic Coupe Online Reference Owner's Manual

Supplemental Restraint System, Additional Safety Information
precautions in the official Honda
service manual could result in
personal injury or damage to the
system.
Scrapping an entire car that has
uninflated airbags can be
dangerous. Get assistance from a
Honda dealer if your car must be
scrapped.
If you sell your car, please be
sure to tell the new owner that
the car has a supplemental
restraint system. Alert them to
the information and precautions
in this part of the Owner's
Manual.

Additional Safety Information

The seat belts and airbags are
obviously important parts of
your occupant 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
protection 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 43.
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.
Storing Cargo Safely
Before you drive, make sure you
first securely store or tie down
any items that could be thrown
around the car and hurt
someone or interfere with your
ability to operate the controls.
