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 Restraint System, or
“air bag” system.
This figure lights up as
a reminder
to
buckle
up. (See “Safety Belt
Warning 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.
