Do not travel with a
child sitting on the lap of
a passenger using one
seat belt to protect both (fig. 14).
Seat belts are also to be worn by ex-
pectant mothers: the risk of injury in
the case of accident is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they
are wearing a seat belt.
Of course they must position the
lower part of the belt very low down
so that it passes under the abdomen

HOW TO KEEP THE SEAT
BELTS IN PROPER WORKING
ORDER AT ALL TIMES
1)
When wearing the seat belts, al-
ways ensure they are not twisted and
are free to wind in and out.
2) Following a serious accident, re-
place the belt being worn at the time,
even if it does not seem damaged.
3) When cleaning the belts, wash
them by hand with water and neutral
soap, rinse them and let them dry in
the shade. Do not use strong deter-
gents, bleach, colouring or any other
chemical substance that could weaken
the fibres.
4) Do not allow the reel mechanisms
to get wet: they are only guaranteed
to work properly if they remain dry.
