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.
To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s safety
belt properly, see
Driver Position
on
page
1-14.
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
ail
the
way and start again.
Center Front Passenger Position

If
your vehicle has a front bench seat, someone can sit
in the center 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.
