Honda Accord: Carrying Items in the Passenger Compartment
Store or secure all items that could be thrown around and hurt someone during a crash.
Do not put any items on top of the rear shelf. They can block your view and be thrown around the vehicle during a crash.
Be sure items placed on the floor behind the front seats cannot roll under the seats and interfere with the driver’s ability to operate the pedals, the operation of the seats, or the operation of the sensors under the seats.
Keep all cargo below the bottom of the windows. If it is higher, it could interfere with the proper operation of the side curtain airbags.
Keep the glove box closed while driving. If it is open, a passenger could injure their knees during a crash or sudden stop.
