The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn
properly, it’s more likely that tlw fctus won’t be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant womcn,
as for anyone, the key to making safety bclts
effective
is wearing them properly.
RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER POSITION
The right front passenger’s safety belt works thc same way as the driver’s
safety belt. See “Driver Position,” earlier
in this part.
When the
lap portion of the bclt is pullcd out all the way, it will lock. If it
does, let it go back all the way and start again.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The lap part of the belt should be worn low and snug on the hips, just
touching the thighs. In a crash, this applies force to the strong pelvic
bones. And you'd be less
likely to slide under the lap belt. If you slid
under it, the belt would apply force at your abdomen. This could cause
serious or even fatal injuries. The shoulder belt should
go over the
shoulder and across the chest. These parts
of the body are best able to
take belt restraining forces.
The safety belt locks
if there's a sudden stop or a crash.
A CAUTION:
You can be seriously hurt if your shoulder belt is too loose. In a
crash you would move forward too much, which could increase
injury.
The shoulder belt should fit against your body.
