A CAUTION:
Don’t let anyone ride where they cadt wear a safety beIt
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.
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.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling
up does matter ... a lot!

sound.
If you don’t, the adjustment feature won’t set, and you’ll have
to start again.
5. Now you can add a small amount of slack. Lean forward slightly, then
sit back. If
you’ve added more than 1 inch (25 mm) of slack, pull the
shoulder belt out
as you did before and start again.
If
you move around in the vehicle enough, or if you pull out the shoulder
belt, the belt
will become tight again. If this happens, you can reset it.

Air bags inflate with great force, faster than the blink of an eye.
If you’re too close to an inflating air bag, it could seriously
injure
you. Safety belts help keep you in position for an air bag
inflation in a crash. Always wear your safety belt, even with an
air bag, and the driver
should sit as far back as possible while
still maintaining control of the vehicle.
A CAUTION:
An inflating air bag can seriously injure small chiIdren. Always
secure children properly in your vehicle. Tu read how, see the
“Children
and Safety Belts’’ section of this manual, and read
the caution
label on the front-passenger% safety belt.

How The Air Bag System Works
..
. ..
Where is the air bag?
The driver's air bag is in the middle of the steering wheel. If your vehicle
has
a right-front passenger air bag, it is located in the instrument panel on
the passenger's side.
When is an air bag expected to inflate?
The air bag is designed to inflate in moderate to severe frontal or
near-frontal crashes.
The air bag will only inflate if the velocity of the
impact
is above the designed threshold level. When impacting straight
into
a wall that does not move or deform, the threshold level for most

should
be worn as low as possible throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it’s more likely that the fetus won’t be hurt
in a
crash. For pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making safety belts
effective is wearing them properly.
RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier in this part.
When the lap portion
of the belt is pulled out all the way, it will lock. If it
does, let it go back all the way and start again.
