Seat Belts And Pregnant Women
Seat belts must be worn by all occupants including
pregnant women: the risk of injury in the event of
an accident is reduced for the mother and the
unborn child if they are wearing a seat belt
.
Position the lap belt snug and low below the
abdomen and across the strong bones of the hips
.
Place the shoulder belt across the chest and away
from the neck
.
Never place the shoulder belt
behind the back or under the arm
.
Seat Belt Pretensioner
The front outboard seat belt system is equipped
with pretensioning devices that are designed to
remove slack from the seat belt in the event of a
collision
.
These devices may improve the perfor-
mance of the seat belt by removing slack from the
seat belt early in a collision
.
Pretensioners work
for all size occupants, including those in child
restraints
.
NOTE:
These devices are not a substitute for proper seat
belt placement by the occupant
.
The seat belt still
must be worn snugly and positioned properly
.
The pretensioners are triggered by the Occupant
Restraint Controller (ORC)
.
Like the air bags, the
pretensioners are single use items
.
A deployed
pretensioner or a deployed air bag must be
replaced immediately
.
Energy Management Feature
The front outboard seat belt system is equipped
with an Energy Management feature that may
help further reduce the risk of injury in the event
of a collision
.
The seat belt system has a retractor
assembly that is designed to release webbing in a
controlled manner
.
Switchable Automatic Locking Retractor
(ALR)
The seat belts in the passenger seating positions
are equipped with a Switchable Automatic Lock-
ing Retractor (ALR) which is used to secure a
child restraint system
.
For additional information,
refer to “Installing Child Restraints Using The
Vehicle Seat Belt” under the “Child Restraints”
section of this manual
