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.
I,
This figure lights up as a reminder to bucklk up. (See “Safety Belt Reminder
Light” in the Index.)
In many states and Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safet\
y 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.

most crashes buckling up does matter
... a lot!
Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes.
For example, if the
bike
is going 10 mph
(16 km/h), so is the

With safety belts, you slow down
as the vehicle does. IOU get more time to
stop.
You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces.
That’s why safety belts make such good sense.
Here Are Questions Many People Ask About
Safety Belts
- and the Answers
Q t Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an accident I’m wearing a
safety belt?
A: You could be - whether you’re wearing a safety belt or not. But you
can easily unbuckle a safety belt, even
if you’re upside down. And
your chance of being conscious during and after an accident, so you
can unbuckle and get out, is much greater if you are belted.
Q : Why don ’t they just put in air bags so people won’t have to wear
safety belts?
A: Air bags 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.

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. U\
nless the
driver’s safety belt is already buckled, a tone will also sound.
How To Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This section is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to know about safety b\
elts and children. And there are different rules for smaller children and babies. If a
child will be riding
in your vehicle, see the section after this one, called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection.\
