Seating and Safety Restraints

Reasons given...

Consider...

“I was in a hurry”

Prime time for an accident.

 

BeltMinder reminds us to take a few

 

seconds to buckle up.

“Seat 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

Set the example, teen deaths occur 4

wear belts”

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”

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.

One time disable

Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an ignition ON cycle, the BeltMinder will be disabled for that ignition cycle only.
