Restraint Of Pregnant Women - Chevrolet 1979 Light Duty Truck Owner's Manual

Restraint Of Pregnant Women

General Motors urges that pregnant women use a lap-shoulder belt
whenever one is present. This will help Jessen the chance of a pregnant
woman and her unborn child being injured and/or will help reduce
the severity of their injury in an accident. The lap belt should be used
alone if a shoulder belt is not present. In either case, the lap belt should
be worn as low and snug over the hips as possible, as advised for regular
seat belt use (see the preceding instructions).
Seat Belt Lig ht/Buzzer Reminder
When the key is turned to "Run" or "Start," a reminder light is
•
designed to come on for four to eight seconds. It is to remind riders
to fasten their seat belts.
If the driver's seat belt has not been buckled before turning the
•
key to "Run" or "Start," a buzzer is designed to sound for four
to eight seconds (or until buckled) as a reminder.
If the seat belt or reminder system does not work as described, see your
dealer for service.
Lap Belts For Rear Seat (And Center Front Seat
Passengers)
Rear seat lap belts next to side windows (except Suburban third
•
seats) have retractors which are designed to take up extra webbing
automatically.
