Head Restraints
Head restraints are fixed on some
vehicles and adjustable on others. Slide
an adjustable head restraint up or down
so that the top of the restraint is closest
to the top
of your ears.
This position reduces the chance of a
neck injury in a crash.
On some models, the head restraints tilt
forward and rearward also.

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.
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!

2. When the bike hits the block, it
stops. But the child keeps going! Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you
go as fast as it goes.
1. For example, if the bike is going 10
mph (16 km/h). so is the child.
3. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose
it's just a seat on wheels.
4. Put someone on it.

HereAre Questions Many
People Ask About Safety
Belts
- and the Answers
Q: Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle
after
an accident if I’m wearing a
safety belt?
A: You could be -whether you’re
wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt,
even
if you’re upside down. And
your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident,
so you
can unbuckle and get out, is much
greater if you are belted.
Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags
so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
A: Air bags are in some vehicles today
and will be
in more of them in the
future. But they are supplemental systems only
- so they work with
safety belts,
not instead of them.
Every
air bag system ever offered for
sale has required the use
of safety
belts. Even
if you’re in a vehicle that
has
air bags, you still have to buckle
up
to get the most protection. That’s
true not only
in frontal collisions, but
especially in side and other
collisions.
drive
far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
A You may be an excellent driver, but if
you’re in an accident - even one
that isn’t your fault
- you and your
passengers can be
hurt. Being a good
driver doesn’t protect you from
things beyond your control, such as
bad drivers.
Most accidents occur
within
25 miles (40 km) of home.
And the greatest number
of serious
injuries and deaths occur at speeds
of less than
40 mph (65 lun/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
