Owner's Manual

Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured
if they don’t wear safety belts.
The best way to protect the fetus is
to protect the
mother. When
a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt
in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.

The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,’’
earlier
in this section.
When the shoulder belt
is pulled out all the way, it will
lock.
If it does, let it go back all the way and start again.

A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt, and
the lap portion should be worn as low as possible, below
the rounding, throughout
the pregnancy.
