Seats & Safety Belts
I bU u I IUIV.’

Don’t let anyone rid6 where
h they can? wear a safety belt
properIy. 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 k if you
are buckled up. Always fasten your
safety belt, and check that your
passengers” belts are fastened
properly too.
This figure lights up when you turn the
key
to Run or Start when your safety belt
isn‘t buckled, and you’ll hear a chime,
too.
It’s the reminder to buckle up.
In many states and Canadian provinces,
the law says
to wear safety belts. Mere’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 very mild. In them, you
won‘t get hurt even if you’re not buckled
up. And some crashes can be
so serious,
like being hit by a train, 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 be badly hurt
or killed.
After
25 years of safety belts in vehicles,
the fxts are clear. In most crashes
buckling
up does matter ... a lot!
