Correct answer
They must be used correctly because misuse can pose a risk
They must be used correctly because misuse can reduce protection or cause injury. Passive safety aims to reduce crash consequences; its primary function is not preventing the crash. Adjust seat belts and head restraints correctly and follow the vehicle and restraint-system instructions. Airbags supplement seat belts and do not replace them. One cannot generally claim that every misuse always produces a risk greater than the crash against which the system protects.
