Seat Belts And Pregnant
Women
Pregnant Women And Seat Belts
Seat belts must be worn by all
occupants including pregnant women:
the risk of injury in the event of an
accident is reduced for the mother and
the unborn child if they are wearing a
seat belt.
Position the lap belt snug and low
below the abdomen and across the
strong bones of the hips. Place the
shoulder belt across the chest and
away from the neck. Never place the
shoulder belt behind the back or under
the arm.

Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front seat belt system is equipped
with pretensioning devices that are
designed to remove slack from the seat
belt in the event of a collision. These
devices may improve the performance
of the seat belt by removing slack from
the seat belt early in a collision.
Pretensioners work for all size
occupants, including those in child
restraints.
Note: These devices are not a
substitute for proper seat belt
placement by the occupant. The seat
belt still must be worn snugly and
positioned properly.
The pretensioners are triggered by the
Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC).
Like the air bags, the pretensioners are
single use items. A deployed
pretensioner or a deployed air bag must

be replaced immediately.
Energy Management Feature
This vehicle has a seat belt system with
an Energy Management feature in the
front seating positions that may help
further reduce the risk of injury in the
event of a collision. The seat belt
system has a retractor assembly that is
designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner.
Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractors (ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating
positions are equipped with a
Switchable Automatic Locking
Retractor (ALR) which is used to secure
a child restraint system. For additional
information, refer to "Installing Child
Restraints Using The Vehicle Seat Belt"
under the "Child Restraints" section of
this manual. The figure below illustrates
the locking feature for each seating
position.
ALR — Switchable Automatic
Locking Retractor
If the passenger seating position is
equipped with an ALR and is being
used for normal usage, only pull the
seat belt webbing out far enough to
comfortably wrap around the
occupant's mid-section so as to not
activate the ALR. If the ALR is
activated, you will hear a clicking sound
as the seat belt retracts. Allow the
webbing to retract completely in this
case and then carefully pull out only the
