Reasons given... Consider...
⬙Belts are uncomfortable⬙ Ford designs its 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. Belt
Minder 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
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.
