Shoulder Belt Height Adjustment

Before you begin to drive, move the shoulder belt
adjuster to the height that is right for you.

To move it down, push down on the button and move
the height adjuster to the desired position. You can
move the adjuster up by pushing up on the shoulder belt
guide. After you move the adjuster to where you want
it, try to move it down without pushing the button
down to make sure it has locked into position.

Adjust the height so that the shoulder portion of the
belt is centered on your shoulder. The belt should
be away from your face and neck, but not falling off
your shoulder.

Safety Belt Use During Pregnancy

Safety belts work for everyone, including pregnant
women. Like all occupants, they are more likely to be
seriously injured if they do not wear safety belts.

A pregnant woman should wear a lap-shoulder belt,
and the lap portion should be worn as low as possible,
below the rounding, throughout the pregnancy.

The best way to protect the fetus is to protect the
mother. When a safety belt is worn properly, it is more
likely that the fetus will not be hurt in a crash. For
pregnant women, as for anyone, the key to making
safety belts effective is wearing them properly.
