Honda CR-V: For Safe Driving / Safety Checklist
For the safety of you and your passengers, make a habit of checking these
items
each time before you drive.
- After everyone has entered the vehicle, be sure all doors and the
tailgate are
closed and locked. Locking the doors and the tailgate helps prevent an
occupant
from being ejected and an outsider from unexpectedly opening a door or the
tailgate.
- Adjust your seat to a position suitable for driving. Be sure the front
seats are
adjusted as far to the rear as possible while allowing the driver to control
the
vehicle. Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious or fatal
injury in a
crash.
- Adjust head restraints to the proper position. Head restraints are most
effective
when the center of the head restraint aligns with the center of your head.
Taller
persons should adjust their head restraint to the highest position.
- Always wear your seat belt, and make sure you wear it properly. Confirm
that any
passengers are properly belted as well.
- Protect children by using seat belts or child seats according to a
child's age, height
and weight.
If the door and/or tailgate open message appears on
the driver information interface, a door and/or the
tailgate is not completely closed. Close all doors and
the tailgate tightly until the message disappears.

The following checklist will help you take an active role in protecting
yourself and your passengers.

If a belt does not retract easily, cleaning the belt may correct the
problem...
