Adjust The Steering Wheel - Honda 1998 Accord Coupe Owner's Manual

Protecting Adults
If necessary, pull up on the belt again
to remove any slack from the
shoulder part, then check that the
belt rests across the center of your
chest and over your shoulder. This
spreads the forces of a crash over
the strongest bones in your upper
body.
Improperly positioning the seat
belts can cause serious injury
or death in a crash.
Make sure all seat belts are
properly positioned before you
drive.
An improperly positioned seat belt
can cause severe neck injuries if the
belt is positioned too high, or serious
chest or internal injuries if the belt is
positioned too low.
Driver and Passenger Safety
Never place the shoulder portion of a
lap/shoulder belt under your arm or
behind your back. This could cause
very serious injuries in a crash.
If a Seat Belt Doesn't Work Properly
If your seat belt does not seem to
work as it should, it may not protect
you in a crash. Anyone using an
inoperative seat belt can be seriously
injured or killed. No one should sit in
a seat with an inoperative seat belt.
Have your Honda dealer check the
belt as soon as possible.
See page 38 for additional
information about your seat belt
system and how to take care of your
belts.

6.Adjust the Steering Wheel

Adjust the steering wheel, if needed,
so that the wheel points toward your
chest, not toward your face.
Pointing the steering wheel toward
your face decreases the protective
capability of the driver's airbag.
See page 63 for how to adjust the
steering wheel.
