Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone
This part of the manual tells you how to use safety
belts properly.
It tells you some things you should not
do with safety “-lts.
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.
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.
