To unlatch the belt, just push the button
on the buckle. The belt should go back
out of the way.
Before you close
the
door, be sure the belt
is
out
of
the way. If you slam the door
on
it, you can damage both the belt and your
vehicle.
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 don’t 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’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.

Passenger Positions
Right Front Passenger Position
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 shoulder belt is pulled out all
the way, it will lock.
If
it does, let it
go
back all
the
way and start again.
