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.
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.
After more than
25
years of safety belts
in
vehicles, the facts are clear. In most
crashes buckling
up
does matter
...
a lot!
