Warning
A seat belt that is not properly worn
may not provide the protection needed in
a crash. The person wearing the belt
could be seriously injured. The shoulder
belt should go over the shoulder and
across the chest. These parts of the body
are best able to take belt restraining
forces.
Adjustable comfort guides may be available
through your dealer for the left rear
outboard seating positions of the
three-passenger bench seats and for the
outboard seating positions of the
four-passenger bench seats. If available,
instructions are included with the guides.

Seat Belt Use During Pregnancy

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

Seat Belt Extender

If the vehicle's seat belt will fasten around
you, you should use it.
