Pregnant Women
The use of a seat belt is recommended for
pregnant women to lessen the chance of
injury in an accident. When a seat belt is
used, the lap belt portion should be placed
as low and snugly as possible on the hips,
not across the abdomen. For specific rec-
ommendations, consult a physician.
B150E01A-AAT
Injured Person
A seat belt should be used when an injured
person is being transported. When this is
necessary, you should consult a physician
for recommendations.
B150F01A-AAT
One Person Per Belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt. This
could increase the severity of injuries in
case of an accident.
B150G01A-AAT
Do Not Lie Down
To reduce the chance of injuries in the
event of an accident and to achieve maxi-
mum effectiveness of the restraint system,
all passengers should be sitting up and the
front seats should be in an upright position
when the car is moving. A seat belt cannot
provide proper protection if the person is
lying down in the rear seat or if the front seat
is in a reclined position.
!
WARNING:
Sitting in a reclined position or lying down
when your vehicle is in motion can be
dangerous. Even if you buckle up, your
seat belts can't do their job when you're
reclined.
The shoulder belt can't do its job be-
cause it won't be against your body.
Instead, it will be in front of you. In a crash,
you could go into it with great force,
receiving serious neck or other injuries.
The lap belt can't do its job either. In a
crash, the belt could go up over your
abdomen. The belt forces would be ap-
plied there, not at your strong pelvic
bones. This could cause serious internal
injuries. For proper protection when the
vehicle is in motion, have the seatback
upright. Then sit back in the seat and
wear your seat belt properly.
