An unbelted occupant may strike the interior of the
vehicle, the protective structure, or other objects in
an accident or during operation. You may also fall
completely out or be partially ejected from the ve-
hicle, which may lead to being crushed between
the ground and the vehicle. Wearing the seat belt
helps you remain in the vehicle – the doors and
handholds are not a substitute for using a seat
belt.
A crash can damage the restraint systems in your
vehicle. A damaged restraint system may not
properly protect the person using it, resulting in se-
rious injury or death in a crash. To help make sure
your restraint systems are working properly after a
crash, have them inspected and any necessary re-
placements made as soon as possible.
