The study among rental car customers was conducted at the Sky Harbor Airport, Phoenix, Arizona, during the period August 4 - December 12, 1975. Overall objectives were (1) to determine if the warning system now required on 1975 and 1976 cars is effective in increasing safety belt usage, and (2) to determine the effectiveness of various other types of warning systems allowable under P.L. 93-492. Results show that the present system required by Standard 208 is not effective in increasing safety belt usage. Most effective system for increasing usage is one that includes, in addition to the present equipment: (1) a reminder light that does not go off unless the belt is fastened; and (2) a sequential logic system that requires the driver to first sit on the seat and second to buckle the belt.
