Safety
Belts
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 belt 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 passengers’ belts are
fastened properly too.
It
is
extremely da -erous 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.
