Seat Belt Systems
Buckle up even though you are an excellent driver, even on short trips
.
Someone on the
road may be a poor driver and could cause a collision that includes you
.
This can happen
far away from home or on your own street
.
Research has shown that seat belts save lives, and they can reduce the seriousness of inju-
ries in a collision
.
Some of the worst injuries happen when people are thrown from the
vehicle
.
Seat belts reduce the possibility of ejection and the risk of injury caused by strik-
ing the inside of the vehicle
.
Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times
.
Enhanced Seat Belt Use Reminder System (BeltAlert)
Driver And Passenger BeltAlert (If Equipped)

seat passenger (if equipped with outboard front passenger seat BeltAlert) is unbuckled
when the ignition switch is first in the AVV/START or MAR/ON/RUN position the Seat
Belt Reminder Light will turn on and remain on until both outboard front seat belts are
