2022 Honda Accord Hybrid Seats Setup
The 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid has well-thought-out seating arrangements that make the driver and passengers comfortable, flexible, and easy to use. This midsize car is known for getting great gas mileage. It can usually fit up to five people, and both the front and back seats are comfortable and supportive, and they can often be upholstered in high-quality materials. The front passenger and driver seats can be adjusted in a number of ways, including power-adjustable choices and lumbar support, so the driver can have a comfortable and customized driving experience. The back seats usually fold down 60/40, which gives you a lot of options because you can add more cargo room while keeping the same number of seats. This is great for meeting all of your passenger and cargo needs. To make the Accord Hybrid even more comfortable for its passengers, it often has rear air vents for climate control and a center seat in the back with cupholders. To sum up, the 2022 Honda Accord Hybrid’s well-equipped seats mix ergonomic design with adaptability to make the cabin comfortable and useful for both the driver and passengers.
Seats
Always make seat adjustments before driving.
Front Seats
Adjust the driver’s seat as far back as possible while allowing you to maintain full control of the vehicle. You should be able to sit upright, well back in the seat and be able to adequately press the pedals without leaning forward, and grip the steering wheel comfortably. The passenger’s seat should be adjusted in a similar manner, so that it is as far back from the front airbag in the dashboard as possible.
WARNING
Sitting too close to a front airbag can result in serious injury or death if the front airbags inflate.
Always sit as far back from the front airbags as possible while maintaining control of the vehicle.
Adjusting the Seat Positions
Adjusting the front power seat(s)*
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Transport Canada recommend that drivers allow at least 10 inches (25 cm) between the center of the steering wheel and the chest.
Lumbar Support Adjustment Switch* (Driver’s seat only)
- Press the top: To move the lumbar support up.
- Press the bottom: To move the lumbar support down.
- Press the front: To increase the entire lumbar support.
- Press the rear: To decrease the entire lumbar support.
Adjusting the front manual seat(s)*
Once a seat is adjusted correctly, rock it back and forth to make sure it is locked in position.
Adjusting the Seat-Backs
Adjust the driver’s seat-back to a comfortable, upright position, leaving ample space between your chest and the airbag cover in the center of the steering wheel.
The front seat passenger should also adjust their seat-back to a comfortable, upright position.
Reclining a seat-back so that the shoulder part of the belt no longer rests against the occupant’s chest reduces the protective capability of the belt. It also increases the chance of sliding under the belt in a crash and being seriously injured. The farther a seat-back is reclined, the greater the risk of injury.
WARNING
Reclining the seat-back too far can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Adjust the seat-back to an upright position, and sit well back in the seat.
Do not put a cushion, or other object, between the seat-back and your back.
Doing so may interfere with proper seat belt or airbag operation.
If you cannot get far enough away from the steering wheel and still reach the controls, we recommend that you investigate whether some type of adaptive equipment may help.
Rear Seats
Folding Down the Rear Seats
The rear seat-backs can be folded down to accommodate bulkier items in the trunk.
Never drive with the seat-back folded down and the trunk lid open.
Exhaust Gas Hazard
To lock a seat back upright, push it backward until it locks.
When returning the seat back to its original position, push it firmly back. Also, make sure all rear shoulder belts are positioned in front of the seat-back, and the center shoulder belt is re-positioned in the guide.
Make sure that the folded seat-back does not press against the front passenger seat, as this can cause the weight sensors in the front passenger seat to work improperly.
Passenger Airbag Off Indicator
Make sure all items in the trunk or items extending through the opening into the rear seat is properly secured. Loose items can fly forward if you have to brake hard.
The front seat(s) must be far enough forward so they do not interfere with the rear seats as they fold down.
- Remove the center shoulder belt from the guide.
- Pull the release lever in the trunk to release the lock.
- Fold the seat-back down.
Rear Seat Reminder
This feature alerts you to the possible presence of passengers or items in the rear seats before you exit the vehicle. It activates when the vehicle is set to VEHICLE OFF if the rear doors were opened shortly before or after the vehicle was set to ON.
A reminder appears on the driver information interface and an alert will sound when the power mode is set to VEHICLE OFF.
When the power mode is set to VEHICLE OFF, the reminder comes on briefly, then the function is deactivated.
The reminder will not work if the power mode has not been set to ON within 10 minutes of operating the rear doors.
The system does not detect passengers in the rear seats. Instead, it can detect when a rear door is opened and closed, indicating that there may be something in the rear seats.
You can turn off the notification setting*.
Customized Features
Maintain a Proper Sitting Position
After all occupants have adjusted their seats and head restraints, and put on their seat belts, it is very important that they continue to sit upright, well back in their seats, with their feet on the floor, until the vehicle is safely parked and the power system is off.
Sitting improperly can increase the chance of injury during a crash. For example, if an occupant slouches, lies down, turns sideways, sits forward, leans forward or sideways, or puts one or both feet up, the chance of injury during a crash is greatly increased.
In addition, an occupant who is out of position in the front seat can be seriously or fatally injured in a crash by striking interior parts of the vehicle or being struck by an inflating front airbag.
WARNING
Sitting improperly or out of position can result in serious injury or death in a crash.
Always sit upright, well back in the seat, with your feet on the floor.
Head Restraints
Your vehicle is equipped with head restraints in all seating positions.
WARNING
Improperly positioning head restraints reduces their effectiveness and increases the likelihood of serious injury in a crash.
Make sure head restraints are in place and positioned properly before driving.
In order for the head restraint system to work properly:
- Do not hang any items on the head restraints or from the restraint legs.
- Do not place any objects between an occupant and the seat-back.
- Install each restraint in its proper location.
Adjusting the Front and Rear Outer Head Restraint Positions
Head restraints are most effective for protection against whiplash and other rear-impact crash injuries when the center of the back of the occupant’s head rests against the center of the restraint. The tops of the occupant’s ears should be level with the center height of the restraint.
To raise the head restraint: Pull it upward. To lower the head restraint: Push it down while pressing the release button.
Removing and Reinstalling the Head Restraints
Head restraints can be removed for cleaning or repair.
To remove a head restraint:
Pull the restraint up as far as it will go. Then, push the release button and pull the restraint up and out.
To reinstall a head restraint:
Insert the legs back in place, then adjust the head restraint to an appropriate height while pressing the release button. Pull up on the restraint to make sure it is locked in position.
WARNING
Failure to reinstall, or correctly reinstall, the head restraints can result in severe injury during a crash.
Always replace the head restraints before driving.
Armrest
Using the Front Seat Armrest
The console lid can be used as an armrest.
Using the Rear Seat Armrest
Pull down the armrest in the center backrest.
