Seats and Restraints

Q: If my vehicle has airbags, why

should I have to wear seat
belts?

A:

Airbags are supplemental
systems only. They work

with

seat belts

not instead of them.

Whether or not an airbag is
provided, all occupants still have
to buckle up to get the most
protection.
Also, in nearly all states and in
all Canadian provinces, the law
requires wearing seat belts.

How to Wear Seat Belts
Properly

Follow these rules for everyone's
protection.

There are additional things to know
about seat belts and children,
including smaller children and
infants. If a child will be riding in the
vehicle, see

.

Review and follow the rules for
children in addition to the following
rules.

It is very important for all occupants
to buckle up. Statistics show that
unbelted people are hurt more often
in crashes than those who are
wearing seat belts.

There are important things to know
about wearing a seat belt properly.

.

Sit up straight and always keep
your feet on the floor in front of
you (if possible).

.

Always use the correct buckle
for your seating position.

.

Wear the lap part of the belt low
and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash,

this applies force to the strong
pelvic bones and you would be
less likely to slide under the lap
belt. If you slid under it, the belt
would apply force on your
abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries.

.

Wear the shoulder belt over the
shoulder and across the chest.
These parts of the body are best
able to take belt restraining
forces. The shoulder belt locks if
there is a sudden stop or crash.

Warning

You can be seriously injured,
or even killed, by not wearing
your seat belt properly.
