In most states and in all Canadian provinces,
the law says to wear safety belts. Here is
why:They work.
You never know if you will be in a crash. If you
do have a crash, you do not 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
would not 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 40 years of safety belts in
vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes
buckling up does matter... a lot!Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast
as it goes.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a
seat on wheels.

Airbag System
Your vehicle has an airbag for the driver in the
middle of the steering wheel. If it says AIR BAG
on the instrument panel in front of the right
front passenger’s seat, your vehicle has an
airbag for the right front passenger.
If there is not a right front passenger’s seat,
your vehicle has an airbag for the driver only.
Airbags are designed to supplement the protection
provided by safety belts. Even though today’s
airbags are also designed to help reduce the risk
of injury from the force of an inflating bag, all
airbags must inflate very quickly to do their job.
Here are the most important things to know
about the airbag system:
{CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a
crash if you are not wearing your safety
belt — even if you have airbags. Wearing
your safety belt during a crash helps
CAUTION: (Continued)
CAUTION: (Continued)
reduce your chance of hitting things inside
the vehicle or being ejected from it. Airbags
are “supplemental restraints” to the safety
belts. All airbags are designed to work
with safety belts, but do not replace them.
{CAUTION:
Airbags are designed to deploy in
moderate to severe frontal and near frontal
crashes. They are not designed to in ate
in rollover, rear crashes, or in many side
crashes. And, for some unrestrained
occupants, airbags may provide less
protection in frontal crashes than more
forceful airbags have provided in the past.
Everyone in your vehicle should wear a
safety belt properly — whether or not there
is an airbag for that person.

There is an airbag
readiness light on
the instrument panel,
which shows the
airbag symbol.
The system checks the airbag electrical system
for malfunctions. The light tells you if there is
an electrical problem. SeeAirbag Readiness
Light on page 169for more information.Where Are the Airbags?
The driver’s airbag is in the middle of the
steering wheel.
