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.
Right Front Passenger Position
To
learn
how
to wear the right front passenger’s
safety belt properly,
see
“Driver Position” earlier
in
this section.
The
right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way as the driver’s safety belt
--
except for one thing.
If you ever pull the lap portion of the belt
out
all
the
way,
you
will engage the child restraint locking feature.
If
this happens, just let the belt go back all the way and
start again.
Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR)
System
This part explains the Supplemental Inflatable Restraint
(SIR)
system or air bag system.
Your vehicle has two air bags
--
one air bag for the
driver and another air bag for
the
right front passenger.
Here
are
the
most
important things to know about the
air
bag system:
A
CAUTION:
You can be severely injured or killed in a crash
if
you aren’t wearing your safety belt
--
even
if
you
have
air
bags. Wearing your safety belt during a
crash helps reduce your chance
of
hitting things
inside the vehicle or being ejected
from
it.
Air
bags are “supplemental restraints” to the safety
belts.
All
air bags are designed to work with
safety belts, but don’t replace them. Air bags are
designed
to
work
only
in moderate to severe
crashes where the front of your vehicle hits
something. They aren’t designed to inflate at all
in rollover, rear, side or low-speed frontal
crashes. Everyone in your vehicle should wear a
safety belt properly
--
whether or not there’s
an
air bag for that person.
