buckled.

NOTE:

Although BeltAlert

௡ has been deactivated, the

Seat Belt Reminder Light will continue to illuminate

Seat Belts and Pregnant Women

We recommend that pregnant women use seat belts
throughout their pregnancies. Keeping the mother safe is
the best way to keep the baby safe.

Pregnant women should wear the lap part of the belt
across the thighs and as snug against the hips as possible.
Keep the belt low so that it does not come across the
abdomen. That way the strong bones of the hips will take
the force if there is a collision.

Seat Belt Extender

If a seat belt is too short even when fully extended, your
authorized dealer can provide you with a seat belt
