Safety Belts: They're 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. And it explains the Supplemental Restraint System, or "air bag" system. This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See "Safety Belt Warning Light" in the Index.) In many states and Canadian provinces,the law says to wear safety belts. Here'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 mild, and some crashes can so be serious 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 sometimeswalk away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt or killed. 19
