The Seat Belt System and How It Works
Advice for Pregnant Women
Protecting the mother is the best
way to protect her unborn child.
Therefore, a pregnant woman
should wear a properly-positioned
seat belt whenever she drives or
rides in a car.
Driver and Passenger Safety
If possible, use the lap/shoulder
seat belt, remembering to keep the
lap portion as low as possible (see
page 7 ).
Each time you have a check-up,
ask your doctor if it's okay for you
to drive and how you should
position a lap/shoulder seat belt.
Seat Belt Maintenance
For safety, you should check the
condition of your seat belts regu-
larly.
Pull out each belt fully and look for
frays, cuts, burns, and wear. Check
that the latches work smoothly and
the lap/shoulder belts retract easily.
Any belt not in good condition or
not working properly should be
replaced.
If a seat belt is worn during a crash,
have your dealer replace the belt
and inspect the anchors for damage.
For information on how to clean
your seat belts, see page 159.
