Diagonal lap seat belt
The diagram of the routing and method of fastening the diagonal-lap design seat belt is shown in the illustration.
To unfasten the belt, press the red button marked PRESS, which is located on the buckle lock body. When the belt is wound up by the retractor drum, hold it by the buckle bracket. After leaving the car, check that the belt does not get caught in the door opening or get jammed when the door is slammed.
The diagonal-waist belts are equipped with an inertial-type return device, the drum of which automatically takes up the slack in the straps and constantly maintains a slight preliminary tension of the belt pressed to the body. Inertial belts practically do not restrict the movements of the person fastened with them and allow him to easily change his position on the seat. In the event of a traffic accident or sudden braking of the car, the return device automatically locks the seat belt, ensuring the fixation of the body from dangerous movements.
The diagonal-lap seat belts used in the models of cars under consideration on all seats except the front ones are equipped with additional fasteners that ensure the possibility of reliable fixation of special child seats. More detailed information on this issue can be obtained at official Honda service stations.
When the shoulder section of the belt is pulled out sharply, the locking mechanism of the return device is activated. The drum locks the belt, eliminating the possibility of dangerous movement of the passenger.
Automatic emergency seat belt tensioners
On some models, to provide additional protection for the driver/passenger, the front seat belts are equipped with devices that, when activated, automatically tighten the belts, which helps to eliminate the possibility of dangerous movement of the driver and passenger in the event of a traffic accident.
The automatic emergency tensioners are triggered by directional overloads that occur during a severe frontal collision. At the same time, the front airbags are ejected.
When the device is triggered, the seat belt remains in a tensioned position until the buckle clip is removed from the lock last.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS) indicator light comes on to alert the driver to possible problems with the automatic emergency seat belt tensioners in Section Vehicle equipment, arrangement of instruments and controls.
