Seats and Restraints

Seat Belts

This section describes how to use
seat belts properly, and some things
not to do.

{

Warning

Do not let anyone ride where a
seat belt cannot be worn properly.
In a crash, if you or your
passenger(s) are not wearing
seat belts, injuries can be much
worse than if you are wearing
seat belts. You can be seriously
injured or killed by hitting things
inside the vehicle harder or by
being ejected from the vehicle. In
addition, anyone who is not
buckled up can strike other
passengers in the vehicle.

It is extremely dangerous to ride
in a cargo area, inside or outside
of a vehicle. In a collision,
passengers riding in these areas
are more likely to be seriously
injured or killed. Do not allow

Warning (Continued)

passengers to ride in any area of
the vehicle that is not equipped
with seats and seat belts.

Always wear a seat belt, and
check that all passenger(s) are
restrained properly too.

This vehicle has indicators as a
reminder to buckle the seat belts.

Why Seat Belts Work

When riding in a vehicle, you travel
as fast as the vehicle does. If the
vehicle stops suddenly, you keep
going until something stops you.
It could be the windshield, the
instrument panel, or the seat belts!

When you wear a seat belt, you and
the vehicle slow down together.
There is more time to stop because
you stop over a longer distance and,
when worn properly, your strongest
bones take the forces from the seat
belts. That is why wearing seat belts
makes such good sense.

Questions and Answers About
Seat Belts

Q: Will I be trapped in the vehicle

after a crash if I am wearing a
seat belt?

A:

You

could

be

whether you are

wearing a seat belt or not. Your
chance of being conscious
during and after a crash, so you

can

unbuckle and get out, is

much

greater if you are belted.
