Additional Information About Your Seat Belts - Honda 2004 Accord Online Reference Owner's Manual

Seat Belt System Components
Your seat belt system includes lap/
shoulder belts in all five seating
positions. The front seat belts are
also equipped with automatic seat
belt tensioners.
The seat belt system
includes a light on the
instrument panel to remind you and
your passengers to fasten your seat
belts.
If you turn the ignition switch to ON
(II) without fastening your seat belt,
a beeper will sound and the light will
blink. The beeper will stop after
several seconds.
If you do not fasten your seat belt
before the beeper stops, the
indicator light will stop blinking but
remain lit. If you continue driving
without fastening your seat belt, the
indicator will come on and the
beeper will sound at regular intervals.

Additional Information About Your Seat Belts

Lap/Shoulder Belt
The lap and shoulder belt goes over
your shoulder, across your chest,
and across your hips.
To fasten the belt, insert the latch
plate into the buckle, then tug on the
belt to make sure the buckle is
latched (see page 15 for how to
properly position the belt).
To unlock the belt, push the red
PRESS button on the buckle. Guide
the belt across your body so that it
retracts completely. After exiting the
vehicle, be sure the belt is out of the
way and will not get closed in the
door.
All seat belts have an emergency
locking retractor. In normal driving,
the retractor lets you move freely in
your seat while it keeps some
tension on the belt. During a collision
or sudden stop, the retractor
automatically locks the belt to help
restrain your body.
The seat belts in all positions except
the driver's have an additional
locking mechanism that must be
activated to secure a child seat (see
page 48 ).
