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.
ProCarManuals.com

Your vehicle has a
light that comes
on as
a reminder to buckle
up. (See “Safety Belt
Reminder 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!
Why Safety Belts Work
When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it
goes.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it’s just a seat on
wheels.

Here Are Questions Many People Ask
About Safety Belts -- and the Answers
Won’t I be trapped in the vehicle after an
accident if
I’m wearing a safety belt?
A: You could be -- whether you’re wearing a safety
belt or
not. But you can 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.
Why don’t they just put in air bags so people
won’t have
to wear safety belts?
I A: Air bags are in many vehicles today and will be in
more
of them in the future. But they are
supplemental systems only;
so they work with or the safety belts!

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.

home, why should I wear safety belts?
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.
How to Wear Safety Belts Properly
Adults
This part is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know
about safety belts and children. And there are different
rules
for smaller children and babies. If a child will be
riding in your Geo, see the part of this manual called
“Children.” Follow those rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint systems your
vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.
