Relying on the air bags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The air bags
work with your seat belt to restrain you properly. In some collisions, the air bags won't deploy
at all. Always wear your seat belt even though you have air bags.
•
In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not
properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you
can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled
up properly.
•
It is dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding
in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed.
•
Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat
belts.
•
Be sure everyone in your vehicle is in a seat and using a seat belt properly. Occupants,
including the driver, should always wear their seat belts whether or not an air bag is also
provided at their seating position to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
•
Wearing your seat belt incorrectly could make your injuries in a collision much worse. You
might suffer internal injuries, or you could even slide out of the seat belt. Follow these
instructions to wear your seat belt safely and to keep your passengers safe, too.
•
Two people should never be belted into a single seat belt. People belted together can crash
into one another in a collision, hurting one another badly. Never use a lap/shoulder belt or
a lap belt for more than one person, no matter what their size.
