Right Front Passenger Position
The best way to protect the
fetus
is
to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it’s more
likely that the fetus won’t be hurt
in
a crash. For
pregnant women, as
for
anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective
is
wearing them properly.
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position,’’
earlier in this part.
When
the
lap portion
of
the belt is pulled
out
all the
way, it will lock. If it does, let it
go
back all
the
way and
start again.
If your vehicle has a center passenger position, be sure
to
use
the correct buckle when buckling your
lap-shoulder belt. If you find that the latch plate will
not
go
fully
into the buckle, see if you are using the buckle
for the center passenger position.
