Seat Belts - Pregnancy; Supplemental Restraint System (Srs) - Volvo S60 Owner's Manual

Seat belts – pregnancy
The seat belt should always be worn during
pregnancy. However, it is crucial that it be
worn correctly.
The diagonal section should wrap over the
shoulder then be routed between the breasts
and to the side of the belly. The lap section
should lay flat over the thighs and as low as
possible under the belly. It must never be
allowed to ride upward. Remove all slack
from the belt and ensure that it fits close to
the body without any twists.
As a pregnancy progresses, pregnant drivers
should adjust their seats and steering wheel
such that they can easily maintain control of
the vehicle as they drive (which means they
must be able to easily operate the foot pedals
and steering wheel). Within this context, they
should strive to position the seat with as large
a distance as possible between their belly
and the steering wheel.
