Honda CR-V: Safety of Infants and Small Children / Installing a Child Seat with a Lap/Shoulder Seat Belt
A child seat can be installed with a lap/shoulder belt in any rear seat or,
if absolutely
necessary, the front passenger seat.
- Place the child seat on the vehicle seat.
- Route the seat belt through the child seat according to the seat
manufacturer’s instructions, and insert the latch plate into the buckle.
- Insert the latch plate fully until it clicks.
- Slowly pull the shoulder part of the belt all the way out until it
stops. This activates the lockable retractor.
- Let the seat belt if it is completely retracted it unlocks wind up into the
retractor, then try to pull it out to make sure the retractor is locked.
- If you are able to pull the shoulder belt out, the lockable retractor is
not activated. Pull the seat belt all the way out, and repeat steps 3 – 4.
A child seat that is not properly secured will not adequately protect a child
in a crash and may cause injury to the child or other vehicle occupants.
- Grab the shoulder part of the seat belt near the buckle, and pull up to
remove any slack from the lap part of the belt.
- When doing this, place your weight on the child seat and push it into
the vehicle seat.
- Make sure the child seat is firmly secured by rocking it forward and back
and side to side; less than one inch of movement should occur near the seat
belt.
- Make sure any unused seat belt that a child can reach is buckled, the
lockable retractor is activated, and the belt is fully
retracted and locked.
To deactivate a lockable retractor, release the buckle and allow the seat
belt to wind up all the way.
A LATCH-compatible child seat can be installed in any rear seats. A child
seat is attached to the lower anchors with either the rigid or flexible type of
connectors...
A tether anchorage point is provided behind each rear seating position.
If you have a child seat that comes with a tether but can be installed with a
seat belt, the tether may be used for additional security...

* Not available on all models
When the system senses a loss of front wheel traction, it automatically
transfers
some power to the rear wheels. This allows you to utilize all available traction
and
may increase mobility.
You still need to exercise the same care when accelerating, steering, and
braking
that you would in a two wheel drive vehicle...
Operating speed when towing a trailer is restricted
up to 65 mph (100 km/h).
Parking
In addition to the normal precautions, place wheel
chocks at each of the trailer's tires.
Things You Need To Know Before Towing a Trailer
