Always fasten your seat belt before driving 

off. Always make sure all of your passengers 

are properly restrained.

Failure to wear and properly fasten and 

position your seat belt greatly increases 

your risk of injuries and their likely severity 

in an accident. You and your passengers 

should always wear seat belts.

If you are ever in an accident, your injuries 

can be considerably more severe without 

your seat belt properly buckled. Without 

your seat belt buckled, you are much more 

likely to hit the interior of the vehicle or be 

ejected from it. You can be seriously injured 

or killed.

In the same crash, the possibility of injury or 

death is lessened if you are wearing your 

seat belt. The air bags can only provide the 

protection they were designed to afford if 

the occupants are using their seat belts 

G

According to accident statistics, children 

are safer when properly restrained in the 

rear seating positions than in the front seat-

ing position. Thus, we strongly recommend 

that children be placed in the rear seats 

whenever possible. Regardless of seating 

position, children 12 years old and under 

must be seated and properly secured in an 

appropriately sized infant restraint, toddler 

restraint, or booster seat recommended for 

the size and weight of the child.

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is 

significantly increased if the child restraints 

are not properly secured in the vehicle and 

the child is not properly secured in the child 

restraint.

G

Never let more people ride in the vehicle 

than there are seat belts available. Be sure 

everyone riding in the vehicle is correctly re-

strained with a separate seat belt. Never use 

a seat belt for more than one person at a 

time.

G

Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat 

backrest in an excessively reclined position 

as this can be dangerous. You could slide 

under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide 

under it, the seat belt would apply force at 

the abdomen or neck. That could cause se-

rious or even fatal injuries. The seat back-

rest and seat belt provide the best restraint 

when the wearer is in a nearly upright posi-

tion and the seat belt is properly positioned 

on the body.
