Using Child Restraints with
Tethers

Your Honda has two attachment points for tether-style child seats.
Use the dimensions in the above
illustration to locate the attach-
ment point you want to use. Cut a
12.7 mm (1/2 inch) diameter hole in the rear shelf, then install the
tether hardware that came with
the child seat.Tighten the bolt to: 22 N .
m (2.2 kg-m , 16 Ib-ft) If you are not sure how to install
the bracket, have it installed by
your authorized Honda dealer.
If you need an anchor plate and
mounting hardware, you can obtain
them by writing to:
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
Consumer Affairs 1919 Torrance Blvd.
Torrance, CA 90501-2746

The anchor plate and mounting
hardware for a top tether are
supplied with the car. When
installing, make sure the toothed
washer is on the bottom of the bolt.
The supplied anchor plate is
designed only for mounting a child
restraint. Do not use it for any other purpose.

Child Safety
Using a Seat Belt Locking

Clip

Always us
e a seat belt locking clip
when you secure a child seat to your car with a lap/shoulder belt.
This helps prevent the seat from
shifting position or overturning.
A locking clip is usually included
with the child seat. If you need aclip, contact the seat's manufac-
turer or a store that sells child restraints.
To install a locking clip, do the following:
1. Place the child restraint in the

desired position. Route the lap/shoulder belt through the
restraint according to the seat
manufacturer's instructions.

2. Inser t
the latch plate into the

buckle. Pull on the shoulder part
of the belt to make sure there is
no slack in the lap portion.

3. Tightl y
grasp the belt near the

latch plate. Pinch both parts of
the belt together so they won't
slip through the latch plate. Un-
buckle the seat belt.

4. Instal l
the locking clip as shown.
Position the clip as close as
possible to the latch plate.
5. Insert the latch plate into the

buckle. Push and pull on the
child seat to verify that it is held firmly in place. If it is not, repeat
these steps until the restraint is
secure.

Child Safety

Restraining a Chil
d Who
Weighs Over 18 kg (40 Ibs)

We recommend that, whenever
possible, a child who has outgrown

a toddler seat ride in the rear seat
and use a lap/shoulder belt.
Put the lap/shoulder belt on your
child and check its fit. The shoul-
der belt should fit over the collar-
bone and across the chest. The lap
belt should sit low on your child's
hips, not across the stomach.
If the shoulder belt crosses the
child's neck, you should use a
booster seat.
Several styles of booster seats are
available. We recommend a design
that allows the child to use the car's
lap/shoulder belt.
Whichever style you select, follow
the booster seat manufacturer's
instructions.
Storing a Child Seat

When you are not using an infant seat or other child restraint, either
remove it or make sure it is properly secured so it cannot be
thrown around the car during a

crash.
