Section 2
Safety Belt Use During
Pregnancy
Safety belts work for everyone,
including pregnant women. Like
all occupants, they are more likely
to be seriously injured if they do
not wear safety belts.
A pregnant woman should wear
a lap/shoulder belt, and the lap
portion should be worn as low
as possible 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.
Safety Belt Reminder Light
When the ignition is first turned
on, a chime will come on for
several seconds to remind you to
fasten your safety belts.
The safety belt light will also come
on and stay on for several seconds.
Then it will flash for several more.
