Safety Belts {CAUTION: Safety Belts: They Are for Everyone This part of the manual tells you how to use safety belts properly. It also tells you some things you might not be, if you are buckled up. Always fasten your safety belt, and check that your passengers' belts are fastened properly too. 32 - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 33
belt properly. Your vehicle has indicators to remind you and your passengers to buckle your safety belts. See Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 222 and Passenger Safety Belt Reminder Light on page 222. In most states and in all Canadian provinces, the law says to wear safety belts. Here is why - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 34
Why Safety Belts Work When you ride in or on anything, you go as fast as it goes. Put someone on it. Take the simplest vehicle. Suppose it is just a seat on wheels. 34 - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 35
Get it up to speed. Then stop the vehicle. The rider does not stop. The person keeps going until stopped by something. In a real vehicle, it could be the windshield... 35 - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 36
or the instrument panel... or the safety belts! With safety belts, you slow down as the vehicle does. You get more time to stop. You stop over more distance, and your strongest bones take the forces. That is why safety belts make such good sense. 36 - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 37
many vehicles today and will be in most of them in the future. But they are supplemental systems only; so they work with safety belts - not instead of them. Every airbag system ever offered for sale has required the use of safety belts. Even if you are in a vehicle that has airbags, you - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 38
to Wear Safety Belts Properly This part is only for people of adult size. Be aware that there are systems your vehicle has. We will start with the driver position. Driver Position Lap-Shoulder Belt The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here is how to wear it properly. 1. Close and lock the door - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 39
belt height adjustment could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. See Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment on page 47. 6. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder belt. It may be necessary to pull stitching on the safety belt through the latch plate to fully tighten - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 40
The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just touching the serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should go over the shoulder and across the chest. These parts of the body are best able to take belt restraining forces. The safety belt locks if there is a sudden stop - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 41
Q: What is wrong with this? {CAUTION: You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a crash, you would move forward too much, which could increase injury. The shoulder belt should fit against your body. A: The shoulder belt is too loose. It will not give nearly as much protection - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 42

Q: What is wrong with this? {CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if your belt goes over an armrest like this. The belt would be much too high. In a crash, you can slide under the belt. The belt force would then be applied at the abdomen, not at the pelvic bones, and that could cause serious or - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 45
Q: What is wrong with this? {CAUTION: You can be seriously injured if you wear the shoulder belt under your arm. In a crash, your body would move too far forward, which would increase the chance of head and neck injury. Also, the belt would apply too much force to the ribs, which are not as strong - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 46
Q: What is wrong with this? {CAUTION: You can be seriously injured by a twisted belt. In a crash, you would not have the full width of the belt to spread impact forces.

Rear Seat Passengers It is very important for rear seat passengers to buckle up!

Rear passengers who are not safety belted can be thrown out of the vehicle in a - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 50
positioned so you would be able to unbuckle the safety belt quickly if you ever had to. 3. To make the lap part tight, pull up on the shoulder part.

Child Restraints Older Children Q: What is the proper way to wear safety belts? A: If possible, an older child should wear a lap-shoulder belt and get the additional restraint a shoulder belt can provide. The shoulder belt should not cross the face or neck. The lap belt should fit snugly below the - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 57

Infants and Young Children Everyone in a vehicle needs protection! This includes infants and all other children. Neither the distance traveled nor the age and size of the traveler changes the need, for everyone, to use safety restraints. In fact, the law in every state in the United States and in - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 60
{CAUTION: People should never hold a baby in their arms while riding in a vehicle. A baby does not weigh much - until a crash. During a crash a baby will become so heavy it is not possible to hold it. For example, in a crash at only 25 mph (40 km/h), a 12 lb (5.5 kg) baby will suddenly become a 240 - 2007 Saturn Relay | Owner's Manual - Page 61
