Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy; Right Front Passenger Position - GMC TopKick 2007 Owner's Manual

Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy

Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely
to be seriously injured if they do not wear
safety 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 safety 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 safety belts effective is wearing
them properly.

Right Front Passenger Position

To learn how to wear the right front passenger's
safety belt properly, see Driver Position on
page 26.
The right front passenger's safety belt works the
same way as the driver's safety belt. If your vehicle
has a static seat in this position and if you ever pull
the shoulder portion of the belt out all the way, you
will engage the child restraint locking feature. If this
happens, just let the belt go back all the way and
start again.
