Safety
Belts:
They Are 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.
Don’t let anyone ride where he or she can’t
wear
a
safety
beat
properly,
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 be
if
you are
buckled
up.
Always fasten your safety belt,
and check that your passenger’s belt
is
fastened properly too.
It
is
extremely dangerous to ride
in
a
cargo
area, inside or outside of a vehicle.
In
a
collision, people riding
in
these areas are more
likely
to
be seriously injured or killed.
Do
not
allow people to ride
in
any area of your vehicle
that
is
not equipped with seats and safety
belts. Be sure everyone in your vehicle
is
in
a
seat and using a safety belt properly.
Your vehicle has a light
that comes on
as
a
reminder to buckle up. See
