A pregnant woman should wear
a lap-shoulder belt, and the lap
portion should be worn as low as
possible, below the rounding,
throughout the pregnancy.
The best way to protect the fetus is
to protect the mother. When a safety
belt is worn properly, it is more likely
that the fetus will not be hurt in a
crash. For pregnant women, as for
anyone, the key to making safety
belts effective is wearing them
properly.
Lap Belt
This part is only for the lap belt.
To learn how to wear a lap-shoulder
belt, seeLap-Shoulder Belt on
page 3‑31.
The vehicle may have a center
seating position. When you sit in
the center front seating position,
you have a lap safety belt, which
has no retractor.
To make the belt longer, tilt the latch
plate and pull it along the belt. Buckle, position and release it the
same way as the lap part of a
lap-shoulder belt.
To make the belt shorter, pull its free
end as shown until the belt is snug.
If the belt is not long enough, see
Safety Belt Extender on page 3‑38.
Make sure the release button on the
buckle is positioned so you would
be able to unbuckle the safety belt
quickly if necessary.
