Safety Belts: T h e y e For Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells
you some things you should not
do with safety belts.
A
Don't let anyone ride where they can't wear a safety belt properly. I f
you are in a crash and you're not wearing a safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse. You can hit things inside the vehicle or be
ejected from it. You can be seriously injured or killed. In the same
crash, you might not be
if
you are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt and check that your passengers' belts are fastened
properly, too.

This figure lights up when you turn the key
to RUN or START when your
safety belt isn't buckled, and you'll hear a chime, too. It's the reminder to
buckle up. In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear
safety belts. Here's why: They
work.
You never know if you'll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don't
know
if
it will be a bad one.
A
few crashes are very mild. In them, you won't get hurt even i f you're not
buckled up. And some crashes can be so serious, like being hit by a train,
that even buckled up a person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are in
between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes
walk away. Without belts they could be badly hurt or killed.
