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. 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'll be in a crash. If you do have a crash, you don't knowif it will be a bad one. A few crashes are mild, and some crashes can be so serious that even buckled upa person wouldn't survive. But most crashes are in between. In many of them, people who buckle up cansurvive and sometimes walk away. Without belts they could have been badlyhurt or killed. After more than 25 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter ...a lot!
