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.

Passenger Position

The passenger’s safety belt works the same way as the

driver’s safety belt. See “Driver Position” earlier in

this section.

Air Bag System

This part explains the air bag system.

Your vehicle has air bags

-- one air bag for the driver

and another air bag for the passenger.

Frontal air bags are designed to help reduce the risk of

injury from the force of an inflating air bag. But these

air bags must inflate very quickly to do their job and

comply with federal regulations.

Here are the most important things to know about the

air bag system:

CAUTION:

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 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 or low

-speed frontal

crashes, or in many side crashes. And, for some

unrestrained occupants, air bags may provide

less protection in frontal crashes than more

forceful air bags have provided in the past.

Everyone in your vehicle should wear a safety

belt properly

-- whether or not there’s an air bag

for that person.
