1-3. Adjustable components (seats, mirrors, steering wheel)
Pre-crash seat belts (front seats of vehicles with pre-crash safety sys-
tem)
If the pre-crash sensor detects that a collision is unavoidable, the
pre-crash safety system will retract the seat belt, thus enhancing
the effectiveness of the seat belt pretensioner in a crash.
The same will happen if the driver makes an emergency braking or
loses control of the vehicle. (P. 229)
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may
also lock if you lean forward or pull out the belt too quickly. Allow the belt
to fully retract, and then slowly extend the belt. If the belt cannot be pulled
out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. You will then be able
to smoothly pull the belt out of the retractor.
Pregnant women
People suffering illness
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat belt in the proper way.

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat
belt in the proper way. (P. 74)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu-
pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seat belt is not worn properly, not
only a pregnant woman, but also the fetus
could suffer death or serious injury as a
result of sudden braking or a collision.
