Safety Belts: They're For Everyone - GMC 1993 Safari Owner's Manual

Seats and Safety Belts
Safety Belts: They9= 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.
~~
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 if 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.
