Seat Belts - Pregnancy; Supplemental Restraint System (Srs) - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Seat belts – pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during
pregnancy. However, it is crucial that it be worn
correctly.
The diagonal section should wrap over the shoul-
der then be routed between the breasts and to
the side of the belly. The lap section should lay
flat over the thighs and as low as possible under
the belly. It must never be allowed to ride upward.
Remove all slack from the belt and ensure that it
fits close to the body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel such
that they can easily maintain control of the vehi-
cle as they drive (which means they must be able
to easily operate the foot pedals and steering
wheel). Within this context, they should strive to
position the seat with as large a distance as pos-
sible between their belly and the steering wheel.
