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
(SRS),
or air bag system.
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t wear
a
safety belt properly.
If
you are in
a
crash and
you’re not wearing
a
safety belt, your injuries
can be much worse. You can hit things inside the
vehicle or be ejected from it.
You
can be seriously
injured or killed.
In
the same crash, you might
not be
if
you are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your passengers’ belts
are fastened properly too.
