It also tells you some things you should not do with safety belts. {CAUTION: It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside says to wear safety belts. Here is why: They work. 1-7 2005 - Saab 97X Owner Manual - 2005 Saab 9-7X | Owner's Manual - Page 14
. After more than 30 years of safety belts in vehicles, the facts are clear. In most crashes buckling up does matter...a lot! Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a seat on wheels - 2005 Saab 9-7X | Owner's Manual - Page 15
Put someone on it. Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. 1-9 2005 - Saab 97X Owner Manual - 2005 Saab 9-7X | Owner's Manual - Page 16

I am a good driver, and I never drive far from home, why should I wear safety belts? Driver Position Lap-Shoulder Belt The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear it properly. 1. Close and lock the door. 2. Adjust across you. Do not let it get twisted. 1-12 2005 - Saab 97X Owner Manual - 2005 Saab 9-7X | Owner's Manual - Page 19
