The Importance of Wearing Safety Belts
Safety belts must be worn by all vehicle occupants to be
properly restrained and help reduce the risk of injury in
a collision.
All occupants of the vehicle, including the driver, should
always wear their safety belts, even when an air bag
Supplemental Restraint System is provided.
There are four very important reasons to use safety belts even
with a supplemental air bag system. Use your safety belts to:
help keep you in the proper position when the supplemental
air bag inflates
reduce the risk of harm in rollover, side or rear impact
accidents. The air bag supplemental restraint system is not
designed to inflate in such situations
reduce the risk of harm in frontal collisions that are not
severe enough to activate the supplemental air bag
reduce the risk of being thrown from your vehicle
The Importance of Being Properly Seated
In a collision, the air bag must inflate extremely fast to help
provide additional protection for you. In order to do this, the
air bag must inflate with considerable force. If you are not
seated in a normal riding position with your back against the
seatback, the air bag may not protect you properly and could
possibly hurt you as it inflates.
