Sitting in a reclined position when your vehicle is in motion can be
- dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your safety belts can’t do their job when
you’re reclined like this.
The shoulder belt can’t
do its job because it won’t be against your body. Instead,
it will be in front of you. In a crash you could go into it, receiving neck or other
injuries.
The lap belt can’t
do its job either. In a crash the belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be there, not at your pelvic bones. This could
cause serious internal injuries.
For proper protection when the vehicle is
in motion, have the seatback upright.
Then sit
well back in the seat and wear your safety belt properly.
Front Seatback latches
The front seatbacks fold forward to let
people get into the back seat. To fold a
seatback forward, push
the seatback
toward the rear as
you lift this latch. Then
the seatback will fold forward.

Don’t let anyone rid6 where
h they can? wear a safety belt
properIy. 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 k if you
are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your
passengers” belts are fastened
properly too.
This figure lights up when you turn the
key
to Run or Start when your safety belt
isn‘t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime,
too.
It’s the reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says
to wear safety belts. Mere’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 very mild. In them, you
won‘t get hurt even if you’re not buckled
up. And some crashes can be
so serious,
like being hit by a train, 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 be badly hurt
or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the fxts are clear. In most crashes
buckling
up does matter ... a lot!

Seats & Safety Belts
Q: Why don’t they just put in air bags
so people won’t have to wear safety
belts?
Restraint systems, are in some
vehicles today and
will be in more of
them
in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only
- so they
work
with safety belts, not instead of
them. Every “air bag” system ever
offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even
if you’re in a
vehicle that has “air bags,” you still
have to buckle up to get the
most
protection. That’s true not only in
frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.
A: “Air bags,” or Supplemental Intlatable
---2o
Q: If I’m a good driver, and I never
drive far from home, why should
I
wear safety belts?
A: You may be an excellent driver, but if
you’re in an accident - even one that
isn’t your fault
- you and your
passengers can be hurt. Being
a good
driver doesn’t protect you from things
beyond your control, such
as bad
drivers.
Most accidents occur
within 25 miles
(40 km) of home. And the greatest
number
of serious injuries and deaths
occur at speeds
of less than 40 mph
(65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
Safety Belt Reminder
Light
When the key is turned to Run or Start,
a light will come on for about eight
seconds to remind people
to fasten their
safety belts. Unless the driver’s safety belt
is buckled, a chime will also sound.
