Honda CR-V: Detachable Anchor
The seat belt in the rear center seat is equipped with a detachable anchor.
This allows the center seat belt to be unlatched when the rear center seat back is folded down or the right side rear seat is folded forward.
Using the seat belt with the detachable anchor unlatched increases the chance of serious injury or death in a crash.
Before using the seat belt, make sure the detachable anchor is correctly latched.
Pull out the small latch plate and the latch plate from each holding slot in the ceiling, and pull out the seat belt to extend it.
Line up the triangle marks on the small latch plate and anchor buckle when reattaching the belt and buckle.
Tug on the seat belt to verify that the detachable anchor is securely latched. Make sure the seat belt is not twisted.
To unlatch the detachable anchor, insert the latch plate into the slot on the side of the anchor buckle. Store the detachable anchor and seat belt latch plates in the retractor housing.
