Reasons given... Consider...

“Belts are

uncomfortable”

We design our safety belts to enhance comfort. If

you are uncomfortable - try different positions for

the safety belt upper anchorage and seatback

which should be as upright as possible; this can

improve comfort.

“I was in a hurry” Prime time for an accident. BeltMinder reminds

us to take a few seconds to buckle up.

“Safety belts don’t

work”

Safety belts, when used properly, reduce risk of

death to front seat occupants by 45% in cars,

and by 60% in light trucks.

“Traffic is light” Nearly 1 of 2 deaths occur in single-vehicle

crashes, many when no other vehicles are around.

“Belts wrinkle my

clothes”

Possibly, but a serious crash can do much more

than wrinkle your clothes, particularly if you are

unbelted.

“The people I’m

with don’t wear

belts”

Set the example, teen deaths occur 4 times more

often in vehicles with TWO or MORE people.

Children and younger brothers/sisters imitate

behavior they see.

“I have an air bag” Air bags offer greater protection when used with

safety belts. Frontal airbags are not designed to

inflate in rear and side crashes or rollovers.

“I’d rather be

thrown clear”

Not a good idea. People who are ejected are 40

times more likely to DIE. Safety belts help

prevent ejection, WE CAN’T “PICK OUR CRASH”.

Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt to avoid the Belt

Minder chime. Sitting on the safety belt will increase the risk of

injury in an accident. To disable (one-time) or deactivate the Belt

Minder feature please follow the directions stated below.
