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 wearsafety belts. Here’s
why: They work.
You never lnow- 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 m be
so serious, 1ike.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 someti-mes
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!

Features & Controls
Operation of Lights
Although your vehicle’s lighting system
(headlamps, parking lamps,
fog lamps,
side marker lamps and taillamps) meets
all applicable federal lighting
requirements, certain states
and
provinces may apply their own lighting
regulations that may require special
attention before
you operate these
lamps. For exampk, some jurisdictions
may require
that you operate your lower
beam lamps with fog lamps at all times,
or that headlamps be turned on
whenever
you must use your windshield
wipers. In addition, most jurisdictions
prohibit driving solely
with parking
lamps, especially at dawn or dusk It is
recommended that you check with your
own state or provincial highway
authority
for applicable lighting
regulations.
