SEAT BELTS AND PREGNANT WOMEN
We recommend that pregnant women use seat belts throughout their
pregnancy. Keeping the mother safe is the best way to keep the
baby safe.
Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt across the
thighs and as snug across the hips as possible. Keep the belt low
so that it does not come across the abdomen. That way the strong
bones of the hips will take the force if there is a collision.
SEAT BELT EXTENDER
If a seat belt is too short, even when fully extended and when the
adjustable upper shoulder belt anchorage (if equipped) is in its lowest
position, your dealer can provide you with a seat belt extender. This
extender should be used only if the existing belt is not long enough.
When it is not required, remove the extender and store it.
Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of death or seri-
ous injury in an accident. Only use when the seat belt is not long enough when it
is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seang posions. Remove and
stow the seat belt extender when not needed.
