Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 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!

or the safety belts!
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.

Safety Belts

A: You could be - whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can unbuckle a safety belt,
even if you’re upside down. And your
