Using Seat Belts During Pregnancy; Airbag Warning Lamp - Ford Ka Owner's Handbook Manual

USING SEAT BELTS
DURING PREGNANCY
E66545
WARNINGS
Pregnant women must wear a
correctly positioned seat belt; it
is safer for mother and unborn child.
Never wear just the lap strap of
a lap/shoulder diagonal seat belt
and never sit on the lap strap using
just the shoulder strap. Both of these
actions are extremely dangerous and
may increase your risk of serious
injury.
Occupant protection
The lap strap should be fitted
comfortably across the hips, low
beneath the pregnant abdomen. The
diagonal part of the seat belt should
be placed between the breasts, and
worn above and to the side of the
pregnant abdomen.
Always wear seat belts without slack
or twists. For optimum protection,
the seat belts should fit tightly around
the body. Do not recline the front
seats excessively, as the belts
provide maximum protection when
the seats are in the near upright
position.

AIRBAG WARNING LAMP

When the ignition is switched on
(position II), the lamp illuminates
briefly to confirm that the system is
operational.
If it does not illuminate, if it stays on
or illuminates intermittently or
continuously while driving, it indicates
a malfunction. Have this checked by
an expert for your own safety.
If the lamp illuminates, it indicates a
failure of the airbag warning lamp.
Have the system checked by an
expert.
