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.
And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or
“air bag” system.
Your car 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.
Put someone on it.
Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it's just a seat on
wheels.
