Understanding the Vehicle
occupant presence sensor detects
a status change from occupant not
present to occupant present the system
can repeat the warning sequence.
The driver should instruct all other
occupants to fasten their seat belts.
The SBR for front passenger seat is not
active when the front passenger seat
is not occupied. SBR may be triggered
when an animal or heavy object is on the
front passenger seat. It is recommended
to restrain pets in the rear seat, in
pet harnesses or pet carriers that are
secured by seat belts, and properly stow
cargo.
Seat Belts and Pregnant Women
Seat belts should also be worn by
pregnant women: the risk of injury in the
event of an accident is greatly reduced
for them and the unborn child if they
are wearing a seat belt. The best way
to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother.
Pregnant women must position the
lower part of the belt very low down so
that it passes over the pelvis and under
the abdomen (see figure).
When a safety belt is worn properly, it
is more likely that baby will not be hurt
in a crash. For pregnant women, as for
anyone, the key to making safety belts
effective is wearing them properly.
WARNING!
Pregnant women must scrupulously
observe the above indications, as well
as local regulation concerning the use of
seat belts.
