properly, it is more likely that the
unborn child will be safe in a crash.

pregnant woman should wear a seat
belt.
She should wear the lap portion of the
belt as low as possible throughout her
pregnancy.
Airbag system
The airbag system consists of a
number of individual systems.
When triggered the airbags inflate
within milliseconds. They also deflate
so quickly that it is often unnoticeable
during the collision.
9 Warning
If handled improperly the airbag
systems can be triggered in an
explosive manner.
The driver should sit back as far as
possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. If you are
sitting too close to the airbag, it
can cause death or serious injury
when it inflates.
For maximum safety protection in
all types of crashes, all occupants
including the driver should always
wear their seat belts to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash. Do not sit or
Seats, restraints
lean unnecessarily close to the
airbag while the vehicle is in

this area.
Do not stick anything on the airbag
covers and do not cover them with
other materials.
Each airbag is triggered only once.
