Seats and Restraint Systems
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.
’his figure lights up as a reminder to
uckle up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder
.ight” in the Index.)
n many states and Canadian provinces,
he law says to wear safety belts. Here’s
vhy: 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!
