Honda Accord Coupe L4 (2011 year). Instruction - part 4

After confirming that the belt is
locked, grab the shoulder part of
the belt near the buckle, and pull
up to remove any slack from the
lap part of the belt. Remember, if
the lap part of the belt is not tight,
the child seat will not be secure.

To remove slack, it may help to
put weight on the child seat, or
push on the back of the seat while
pulling up on the belt.

Push and pull the child seat
forward and from side-to-side to
verify that it is secure enough to
stay upright during normal driving
maneuvers. If the child seat is not
secure, unlatch the belt, allow it to
retract fully, then repeat these
steps.

To deactivate the lockable retractor
and remove a child seat, unlatch the
buckle, unroute the seat belt, and let
the belt fully retract.

Since a tether can provide additional
security to the lap/shoulder belt
installation, we recommend using a
tether whenever one is required or
available.

After properly securing the child
seat (see page

), lift the head

restraint, then route the tether
strap over the seat-back and
through the head restraint legs.

Tighten the strap according to the
seat maker’s instructions.

Lift the cover, then attach the
tether strap hook to the anchor,
making sure the strap is not
twisted.

A child seat with a tether can be
installed in any seating position in
the back seat, using one of the
anchorage points shown above.

Main Menu

When a child reaches the
recommended weight or height limit
for a forward-facing child seat, the
child should sit in a back seat on a
booster seat and wear the lap/
shoulder belt.

To determine if a lap/shoulder belt
properly fits a child, have the child
put on the seat belt, then ask
yourself:

Does the child sit all the way back
against the seat?

Do the child’s knees bend
comfortably over the edge of the
seat?

The following pages give
instructions on how to check proper
seat belt fit, what kind of booster
seat to use if one is needed, and
important precautions for a child
who must sit in front.

Allowing a child age 12 or under
to sit in front can result in injury
or death if the passenger’s front
airbag inflates.

If a child must ride in front,
move the vehicle seat as far
back as possible, use a booster
seat if needed, have the child
sit up properly and wear the
seat belt properly.

Main Menu

Does the shoulder belt cross
between the child’s neck and arm?

Is the lap part of the belt as low as
possible, touching the child’s
thighs?

Will the child be able to stay
seated like this for the whole trip?

A child who has outgrown a forward-
facing child seat should ride in a
back seat and use a booster seat
until the lap/shoulder belt fits them
properly without the booster.

If you answer yes to all these
questions, the child is ready to wear
the lap/shoulder belt correctly. If
you answer no to any question, the
child needs to ride on a booster seat.

Booster seats can be high-back or
low-back. Whichever style you select,
make sure the booster seat meets
federal safety standards (see page

) and that you follow the booster

seat maker’s instructions.

Some states, Canadian provinces and
territories also require children to
use a booster seat until they reach a
given age or weight (e.g., 6 years or
60 lbs). Be sure to check current
laws in the states, provinces or
territories where you intend to drive.

Using a Booster Seat

Protecting Larger Children

Main Menu

Of course, children vary widely. And
while age may be one indicator of
when a child can safely ride in front,
there are other important factors you
should consider.

Physically, a child must be large
enough for the lap/shoulder belt to
properly fit (see pages

and

). If

the seat belt does not fit properly,
with or without the child sitting on a
booster seat, the child should not sit
in front.

To safely ride in front, a child must
be able to follow the rules, including
sitting properly, and wearing the seat
belt properly throughout a ride.

The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and Transport
Canada recommend that all children
aged 12 and under be properly
restrained in a back seat.

If the passenger’s front airbag
inflates in a moderate to severe
frontal collision, the airbag can cause
serious injuries to a child who is
unrestrained, improperly restrained,
sitting too close to the airbag, or out
of position.

A side airbag also poses risks. If any
part of a larger child’s body is in the
path of a deploying side airbag, the
child could receive possibly serious
injuries.

If a child who uses a booster seat
must ride in front, move the vehicle
seat as far back as possible and be
sure the child is wearing the seat
belt properly.

A child may continue using a booster
seat until the tops of their ears are
even with the top of the vehicle’s or
booster’s seat-back. A child of this
height should be tall enough to use
the lap/shoulder belt without a
booster seat.

Main Menu

Devices intended to

improve a child’s comfort or
reposition the shoulder part of a
seat belt can make the belt less
effective and increase the chance
of serious injury in a crash.

This could result

in serious neck injuries during a
crash.

This could

cause very serious injuries during
a crash. It also increases the
chance that the child will slide
under the belt in a crash and be
injured.

If they do, they

could be very seriously injured in a
crash.

If you decide that a child can safely
ride up front, be sure to:

Carefully read the owner’s manual,
and make sure you understand all
seat belt instructions and all safety
information.

Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position.

Have the child sit up straight, back
against the seat, and feet on or
near the floor.

Check that the child’s seat belt is
properly and securely positioned.

Supervise the child. Even mature
children sometimes need to be
reminded to fasten the seat belts
or sit properly.

Do not put any accessories on a
seat belt.

Do not let a child wear a seat belt
across the neck.

Do not let a child put the shoulder
part of a seat belt behind the back
or under the arm.

Two children should never use the
same seat belt.

Additional Safety Precautions

Protecting Larger Children

Main Menu

Your vehicle’s exhaust contains
carbon monoxide gas. Carbon
monoxide should not enter the
vehicle in normal driving if you
maintain your vehicle properly and
follow the information on this page.

High levels of carbon monoxide can
collect rapidly in enclosed areas,
such as a garage. Do not run the
engine with the garage door closed.
Even with the door open, run the
engine only long enough to move the
vehicle out of the garage.

With the trunk open, airflow can pull
exhaust gas into your vehicle’s
interior and create a hazardous
condition. If you must drive with the
trunk open, open all the windows and
set the heating and cooling system/
climate control system as shown
below.

If you must sit in your parked vehicle
with the engine running, even in an
unconfined area, adjust the heating
and cooling system/climate control
system as follows:

Select the fresh air mode.
Select the

mode.

Turn the fan on high speed.
Set the temperature control to a
comfortable setting.

Have the exhaust system inspected
for leaks whenever:

The vehicle is raised for an oil
change.

You notice a change in the sound
of the exhaust.

The vehicle was in a crash that
may have damaged the underside.

Carbon monoxide gas is toxic.
Breathing it can cause
unconsciousness and even kill
you.

Avoid any enclosed areas or
activities that expose you to
carbon monoxide.

The instrument panel has many
indicators to give you important
information about your vehicle.

This indicator comes on when you
turn the ignition switch to the ON
(II) position. It reminds you and your
passengers to fasten your seat belts.
A beeper also sounds if you have not
fastened your seat belt.

If you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position before fastening
your seat belt, the beeper sounds
and the indicator flashes. If you do
not fasten your seat belt before the
beeper stops, the indicator stops
flashing but remains on.

If your front passenger does not
fasten their seat belt, the indicator
comes on about 6 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned to the ON
(II) position.

If either of you do not fasten your
seat belt while driving, the beeper
will sound and the indicator will flash
again at regular intervals. For more
information, see page

.

See page

.

The engine can be severely damaged
if this indicator flashes or stays on
when the engine is running. For
more information, see page

.

If this indicator comes on when the
engine is running, the battery is not
being charged. For more information,

If it stays on after you have fully
released the parking brake while
the engine is running, or if it
comes on while driving, there
could be a problem with the brake
system. For more information, see
page

.

This indicator comes on briefly when
you turn the ignition switch to the

This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it comes on at any other
time, there is a problem with the
ABS. If this happens, have your
vehicle checked at a dealer. With
this indicator on, your vehicle still
has normal braking ability but no
anti-lock function. For more
information, see page

.

When you press the hazard warning
button, both turn signal indicators
and all turn signals on the outside of
the vehicle flash.

This indicator comes on briefly when
you turn the ignition switch to the
ON (II) position. It will then go off if
you have inserted a properly coded
ignition key. If it is not a properly
coded key, the indicator will blink,
and the engine’s fuel system will be
disabled (see page

).

The left or right turn signal indicator
blinks when you signal a lane change
or turn. If an indicator does not blink
or blinks rapidly, it usually means
one of the turn signal bulbs is
burned out (see pages

and

).

Replace the bulb as soon as possible,
since other drivers cannot see that
you are signaling.

This indicator normally comes on for
a few seconds when you turn the
ignition switch to the ON (II)
position. If it comes on while driving,
it indicates that one or more of your
vehicle’s tires are significantly low
on pressure.

If this happens, pull to the side of the
road when it is safe, check which tire
has lost pressure, and determine the
cause. If it is because of a flat tire,
replace the flat tire with the compact
spare (see page

), and have the

flat tire repaired as soon as possible.
If two or more tires are underinflated,
call a professional towing service
(see page

). For more

information, see page
