SAFETY FIRST

B1H-230C

~WARNING
• Always position your safety belt
properly over your body for maxi-
mum safety. An improperly posi-
tioned safety belt can cause seri-
ous injury in an accident.
• Safety belts worn too loose will
let your body move too far forward
in a collision.
A loose belt can also shift its posi-
tion on your body from the strong
bones to more vulnerable soft tis-
sue and cause serious injury.
Pregnant women should especial-
ly make sure to wear the lap por-
tion of the safety belt as low as
possible across the pelvis and be-
low the rounding of the abdomen .
The best way to protect the fetus
is to protect the mother- through-
out the entire pregnancy.
