The shoulder belt can’t do its job because it won’t be against
your body. Instead, it will be in front
of you. In a crash you could
go into it, receiving neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can’t do its job either. In
a crash the belt could go
up over your abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at
your pelvic bones. This could cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is in motion, have the
seatback upright. Then sit well back in the driver’s seat while
the car is moving. The seatback could jerk and cause
a loss of
control.
Head Restraints

1 Slide the 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.
If you have the
Fleetwood Brougham
you have additional
adjustment to your
head restraint.
To
make these
adjustments, hold
both sides of
F
d
the restraint and pull it forward until you reach the forward most position.
From this position, firmly pull it forward. From this position, firmly pull it
forward again until
it releases. Slowly move the restraint forward (you will -
hear a clicking sound) until you reach a comfortable position. Now, holding a.
both sides of the restraint, gently rotate it in a forward or rear direction.

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 Inflatable Restraint, or “air
bag”
system.
A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they can’t wear a safety belt
properly.
If 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.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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.

With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does.
You get more time
to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the
forces. That's why safety belts make such good sense. -

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?

vehicles today andwill 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.
Q: IfI’m a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear
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 kmih).

are for everyone.
