Safety Belts: They're
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.
And it explains the Supplemental
Restraint System, or "air bag" system.
This figure lights up as a reminder to
buckle up. (See "Safety Belt Warning
Light" in the Index.)
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 mild, and some crashes
can be so serious 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 have been badly hurt or killed.
After more than 25 years of safety belts in
vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling up does matter
...
a lot!
