Your Car's Safety Features

Seat Belts

For your safety, and the safety of

your passengers, your car is

equipped with seat belts in all seating
positions.

Your seat belt system also

includes a light on the

instrument panel to remind you and

your passengers to fasten your seat

belts.

Why Wear Seat Belts

Seat belts are the single most
effective safety device for adults and
larger children. (Infants and smaller
children must be properly restrained
in child seats.)

Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash, even
though your car has airbags.

In addition, most states and all
Canadian provinces require you to

wear seat belts.

Not wearing a seat belt properly
increases the chance of serious
injury or death in a crash, even
if you have airbags.

Be sure you and your
passengers always wear seat
belts and wear them properly.

When properly worn, seat belts:

• Keep you connected to the vehicle

so you can take advantage of the
car's built-in safety features.

• Help protect you in almost every

type of crash, including frontal,
side, and rear impacts and
rollovers.

• Help keep you from being thrown

against the inside of the car and
against other occupants.

• Keep you from being thrown out

of the car.

• Help keep you in a good position

should the airbags ever deploy. A

good position reduces the risk of
injury from an inflating airbag, and

allows you to get the best
advantage from the airbag.

Of course, seat belts cannot
completely protect you in every
crash. But in most cases, seat belts
can reduce your risk of serious

injury.

What you should

do: Always wear

your seat belt, and make sure you
wear it properly.
