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
The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same
way
as
the driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position”
earlier in this section.
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.
Air Bag System
This part explains the air bag system.
Your Geo 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:
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.
