Safety Belts: They’re
for 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.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or “air bag”
system.

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.

Here Are 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, or Supplemental Inflatable
Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and will be
in more of
them in
the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
- so they
work 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: If I’m a good driver, and I never
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 .
passenger 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 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s
how to wear it properly.
1. Close and lock the door.
2. Adjust the seat (to see how, see
“Seats” in
the Index) so you can sit up
straight.
... 20
3. Pick up the latch plate and pull the
belt across you. Don’t let it get
twisted.
4. Push the latch plate into the buckle
until it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure
it is secure. If the belt isn’t long
enough, see “Safety Belt Extender” at
the end of this section.
Make sure the release button on the
buckle is positioned
so you would be
able to unbuckle the safety belt
quickly if you ever had to. ’he
lap part of
the belt should be worn
3w and snug on the hips, just touching
he thighs. In a crash, this applies force to
he strong pelvic bones. And you’d be
ess likely to slide under the lap belt. If
[ou slid under it, the belt would apply
orce at your abdomen. This could cause
;erious or
even fatal injuries. The
‘houlder belt should go over the shoulder
md across the chest. These parts of the
pody are best able to take belt restraining
orces.
The safety belt locks if there’s a sudden
top or crash.

t":
Q: What's wrong with this?
A: The shoulder belt is worn under the
arm. It should be
worn over the
shoulder at all times.
. . .22
Q: What's wrong with this?
A: The belt is twisted across the body. To unlatch
the belt, just push the button
on the buckle. The belt should go back
out
of the way.
Before you close the door, be sure the belt
is out of the way. If you slam the door on
it,
you can damage both the belt and your
vehicle.

AIR
BAG
Air Bag Readiness Light
There is an air bag readiness light on the
instrument panel, which shows
“AIR BAG.” The system checks for
electrical malfunctions, and the light tell!
you if there is a problem.
You
will see this light flash for a few
seconds when you turn your ignition to
“Run” or “Start.” Then the light should

out, which means the system is ready.
Remember,
if the air bag readiness light
doesn’t come
on when you start your
vehicle, or stays on, or comes
on when
you are driving, your air bag system mal
not work properly. Have your vehicle
serviced right away.
