Safety Belts: They'reEveryone ;:3.:+Jy:.; Fer This part of the manual tells you how to usesafety 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 ina 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 most crashes 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 or killed. 1-7
