IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Carrying an Expecting Mother or a Person Who Is Ill
SeatBelts→Refertopage 3-72
WARNING
• An expecting mother or a person
who is ill riding in the vehicle must
also wear a seat belt. In light of
the risk that the seat belt will apply
pressure to the abdomen, chest and
shoulders in the event of a collision,
however, an expecting mother or
person who is ill should get advice
from a physician beforehand.
- An expecting mother should use a
three-point seat belt.
- An expecting mother should
position the lap belt snugly as low
as possible on the hip bone (not
across the abdomen). Also, she
should fasten the shoulder belt so
it rests on her chest, not on her
abdomen.
- Unless the seat belt is correctly
worn, it may dig into the abdomen
in the event of hard braking or
a collision, harming not only the
expecting mother but also the
unborn child, putting them both
in danger of serious injuries or
death.
Adjusting Mirrors

that it provides a proper view of the rear
