Seat belt unfastening warning light is pro-
vided for the vehicle to alert you to fasten
the seat belt. Always fasten the seat belt
while driving. The reasons are as follows:
You can not foresee if you will meet a colli-
sion. Even if a collision is met, you can not
foresee the severity of the accident. In
many of such collisions, the people who
have fastened their seat belts can avoid
injury, and some of them can even walk
away from the accident scene. They could
be seriously injured or killed if the seat belts
are not fastened. With a history of more
than 40 years, the seat belt used on the
vehicle has clearly proved that: In most of
the collisions, whether the passengers fas-
ten their seat belt or not is very important.

ing speed is the same as that of the object.

wheels installed. Allow people to sit in it.
Speed it up. Then, stop the vehicle. People
in the vehicle do not stop.
This people will continue moving forward
until blocked by an object. In the vehicle,
this object may be windshield, instrument
panel or seat belt.
