Safety Belts: They're For Everyone This part of the manual tells you how touse safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. And it explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint, or "air bag" system. This figure lights up as a reminder to buckle up. (See "Safety Belt Reminder 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'llbe 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 be so serious that even buckled up a person wouldn't survive. But mostcrashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up can survive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could have been badly hurt killed. or 1-11
