60 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE
4. Cycle the ignition to the OFF position. A single chime

pleted the programming.
The BeltAlert can be reactivated by repeating this pro-
cedure.
NOTE: When the BeltAlert is deactivated, the Seat Belt
Reminder Light will continue to illuminate as long as the
driver's seat belt is unbuckled or retracted.

Seat Belts And Pregnant Women

We recommend that pregnant women use the seat belts
throughout their pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snug across the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the
abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is an accident.

Seat Belt Extender

If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended and
when the adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if
equipped) is in its lowest position, your authorized
dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender. This
extender should be used only if the existing belt is not
long enough. When it is not required, remove the ex-
tender and store it.
WARNING!
Using a seat belt extender when not needed can
increase the risk of injury in an accident. Only use
when the seat belt is not long enough when it is worn
low and snug and in the recommended seating posi-
tions. Remove and store the extender when not
needed.
