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.

Right Front Passenger Position

To learn how to wear the right front passenger’s

safety belt properly, see “Driver Position” earlier in

this section.

The right front passenger’s safety belt works the same

way as the driver’s safety belt -- except for one thing.

If you ever pull the shoulder portion of the belt out

all the way, you will engage the child restraint locking

feature. If this happens, just let the belt go back all the

way and start again.

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

This part explains the Supplemental Restraint System

(SRS) or air bag system.

Your vehicle has air bags

-- one air bag for the driver

and another air bag for the right front 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.
