2009 HONDA S2000 lock

With the child seat in position,
route the belt through the child
seat according to the seat maker’s
instructions, then insert the latch
plate into the buckle.
To activate the lockable retractor,
slowly pull the shoulder part of the
belt all the way out until it stops,
then let the belt f eed back into the
retractor.
In this vehicle, a f orward-f acing child
seat must be secured to the vehicle
with the lap part of the lap/shoulder
belt. In addition, the lockable
retractor must be activated to secure
a child seat.
Af ter the belt has retracted, tug on
it. If the belt is locked, you will not
be able to pull it out. If you can pull
the belt out, it is not locked and
you will need to repeat these steps.
Move the vehicle seat to the rear-
most position. Moving the seat as
f ar back as possible reduces the
chance of a child being injured or
killed if the passenger’s airbag
inf lates.

The trip meter shows the number of
miles or kilometers driven since you
last reset it.To reset a trip meter, display it, and
then press and hold the TRIP button
until you hear a beep and the
number resets to ‘‘0.0’’.
The select button switches the
speedometer reading between miles
per hour and kilometers per hour. It
also changes the odometer and trip
meters to read in miles or kilometers
correspondingly. To change the
readings, push the SELECT button,
and hold it until you hear a beep.
There are two trip meters: Trip A
and Trip B. Switch between these
displays by pressing the TRIP button
repeatedly. Each trip meter works
independently, so you can keep track
of two dif f erent distances.
The odometer shows the total
distance your vehicle has been
driven. It measures miles in U.S.
models and kilometers in Canadian
models. It is illegal under U.S.
federal law and Canadian provincial
regulations to disconnect, reset, or
alter the odometer with the intent to
change the number of miles or
kilometers indicated.
