to let people get into the
back seat. Your seatback
will move back and forth
freely,

Safety, Belts: They’re for Everyone
‘This part of the manual tells you how to use safety bel&
properly.
It qlso tells you some things you’,should not do
with safety beltsi

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

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!.
