Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy

Seat belts work for everyone, including
pregnant women. Like all occupants, they
are more likely to be seriously injured if
they do not wear seat belts.
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.
The best way to protect the fetus is to
protect the mother. When a seat belt is
worn properly, it is more likely that the
fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to
making seat belts effective is wearing them
properly.
Seats and Restraints
The hip belt should be placed as low as
possible to go across the pelvis, to avoid
force on the belly.

Airbag System

Depending on the vehicle configuration, the
system includes the following air bags:
Driver frontal air bag
Front passenger frontal air bag
(If equipped)
Front side air bag (If equipped)
For all air bags, the word AIRBAG is
marked on the trim panel or the label near
its deployment opening.
For frontal air bags, the word AIRBAG for
the driver is in middle of the steering wheel,
and that for the front passenger is located
on the instrument panel.
For lateral-impact air bags, the word
AIRBAG is on the backrest side, near
the door.
The air bag can supplement protection of
the seat belt. Although air bags are
designed to reduce the injury risks caused
by the impact force when the air bag is
inflated, all air bags must be inflated rapidly
to exert its effect.
