Seat belts are also to be worn by expec-
tant mothers: the risk of injury in the case
of accident is greatly reduced for them
and the unborn child if they are wearing
a seat belt.
Of course they must position the lower
part of the belt very low down so that it
passes under the abdomen (fig. 55).

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT BELTS
ALWAYS IN EFFICIENT
CONDITIONS
1) Always use the belt with the tape
taut and never twisted; make sure that it
is free to run without impediments.
2) After a serious accident, replace the
belt being worn at that time, even if it
does not appear damaged. Always re-
place the seat belts if pretensioners have
been activated.
3) To clean the belts, wash by hand
with neutral soap, rinse and leave to dry
in the shade. Never use strong deter-
gents, bleach or dyes or other chemical
substance that might weaken the fibres.
4) Prevent the reels from getting wet:
their correct operation is only guaranteed
if water does not get inside.
5) Replace the seat belt when showing
significant wear or cut signs.
