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
(SIR),
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.
A
CAUTION:
It
is
extremely dangerous to ride in
a
cargo area,
inside or outside of a vehicle. In
a
collision,
people riding in these areas are more likely to be
seriously injured or killed.
Do
not allow people to
ride in any area of your vehicle that is not
equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure
everyone in your vehicle
is
in a seat and using
a
safety belt properly.
-
Your vehicle has a light that
comes on as a reminder to
buckle up. (See “Safety
Belt Reminder Light” in
the Index.)
