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.
Your vehicle has a
light that comes
on as
a reminder to buckle
up. (See "Safety Belt
Reminder 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!
