Honda Passport (2002 year). Instruction - part 7

Seats

Head restraints are designed to
help reduce the risk of neck
injuries.

They are most effective when you
adjust them so the back of the
occupant’s head rests against the
center of the restraint. A taller
person should adjust the restraint
as high as possible.

Push the lock knob to unlock the
head restraint. Move the restraint
up or down as required.

Push to
release
the lock.

Adjust the head restraint before
you start driving. Trying to adjust
it while driving could cause you
to lose control of the vehicle.

To remove a head restraint for
cleaning or repair, push the
release button and pull the
restraint out of the seat-back.

The rear seat can be folded
forward to provide additional
cargo area.

Folding

1. Pull the strap toward the

outside of the seat and fold the
seat cushion up.

Pull the
strap.

5. Insert the head restraints

between the seat-back and seat
cushion.

Make sure the head restraints are
secured properly between the
seat-back and seat cushion.

Never let passengers ride in the
cargo area or on top of the
folded-down seat. Carry
passengers in the rear only when
they are sitting on the locked,
upright seat and properly
restrained by seat belts.

Unfolding

1. To raise the seat-back, pull it

up to the locked upright
position. Pull on the seat-back
to verify both latches are
locked.

2. When latching the rear seat

cushion to the floor, push the
cushion with enough force to
lock it.

After this, confirm it is locked
by pulling the seat belt buckle
upward.

3. Make sure that the head

restraints are properly
reinstalled on the top of the
seat-backs.

Driving your vehicle without
head restraints can lead to
serious injury to you and your
passenger in a crash.

Make sure the head restraints
are in place and adjusted
properly before driving.

4. Verify that the seat belts are

routed properly and not
twisted.

make sure it is locked in position.

Your Passport comes with two
keys.

METAL PLATE
WITH KEY CODE

The key code number is stamped
on the metal plate attached to the
key ring.

For vehicle security:

•

Record the key code number.

•

Keep the key code number
plate in a safe place,

NOT IN

THE VEHICLE

If the original keys are lost,
duplicates can be made using the
key code number. Contact any
Honda dealer or a locksmith.

Steering Column
Lock/Ignition Switch

The ignition switch, on the right
side of the steering column, has
five positions:

LOCK

— The normal parking

position. This locks the steering
and prevents normal use of the
steering wheel.

The key can be removed only
when the ignition is in this
position. On automatic
transmission models, the ignition
switch cannot be turned to the
“

LOCK

” position unless the shift

lever has first been placed in the
“P” position. The shift lever is
then locked.

ACC

(Accessory)—In this

position, you can use some
electrical accessories when the
engine is not running.

—The normal driving

position.

START

—This position starts the

engine. The switch returns to

when you release the key.

Interior Features

The anti-theft steering column
lock is not interconnected with the
parking brake. You must always
set the parking brake when
leaving the vehicle.

To prevent discharging the battery,
avoid use of electrical accessories
with the engine shut off.

For easier key operation when
unlocking, rotate the steering
wheel slightly to relieve pressure
on the steering lock.

Key Removal

Manual Transmission
With the vehicle fully stopped,
remove the key from the switch
by turning it to the “

LOCK

”

position and removing it.

Removing the key from the
ignition switch while driving
locks the steering. This can
cause you to lose control.

Remove the key from the
ignition switch only when
parked.

Automatic Transmission
With the vehicle fully stopped, place
the automatic transmission shift
lever in “P” (Park) position. Turn
the key to the “

LOCK

” position.

Key Reminder

The key reminder circuit causes a
beeper to sound when the door is
held open with the key left in the
ignition switch. This is to help
prevent accidentally locking the
key inside the vehicle.

The beeper stops when the door is
closed or when the key is removed.

Guard Against Theft

Your new Passport has features to
help prevent theft of the vehicle,
its equipment, and its contents.
These anti-theft features work
depending on how well you use
them.

•

Park in a well-lighted area
whenever possible.

•

Lock the steering column and
take the key with you.

–

Turn the ignition switch to
“

LOCK

” and remove the key.

This locks both the ignition
switch and steering control.
