WARNING:

Make sure to read and fully understand the relevant warnings before using any of the features in this section. See SEAT BELT SAFETY.

WARNING:

Always position the seat belt correctly for the safety of a pregnant mother and unborn child. Failure to observe this may increase the risk of serious injury during emergency braking or in the event of an accident.

WARNING:

Never place anything between you and the seat belt in an attempt to cushion the impact in the event of an accident. It can be dangerous and reduce the effectiveness of the seat belt in preventing injury.

To adjust the seat belt for use during pregnancy:

  1. Position the lap strap comfortably across the hips, beneath the abdomen.
  2. Place the diagonal part of the seat belt across the chest, and to the side of the abdomen.
