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.
This figure lights up 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!
